1801 Parker -new guy

PS- get a Yamaha cover- well worth it!

Totally agree with this. I went through 2 'cheapos' very quickly, then got the Yamaha cover. (From SIMS Yamaha; great folks).... Yes, it is overpriced, but fits better than a glove!.... And I think it will last a long time.

Thanks guys! I’m going to do the console mounted rail antenna, and I’m ordering the Yamaha cover. !

I have been a surf fisherman and kayak fisherman my whole life. Growing up working on other peoples fishing boats and working on tug boats and the merchant marine I have never owned my own boat! This will be the first! Stoked. Thanks again!

Eh! I’d rather pay for something that’s going to work than pay for something that will break. Thanks I’ll order from SIMS

Congrats. Have the 1801 since 2006- all good. Stern antenna should be avoided IMO as it will interfere with most of your basic activities- fishing, towing-ski, tubing- I have a console rail mount that folds down and is wired inside of rails and then into console.View attachment 27116

Where did you get your console covers? I want to buy fully made in America.

The Yamaha cover I got on Amazon- but the SIMS folks are great too.
