  • Page 28: Towing Or Being Towed

    general boating information TOWING OR BEING TOWED In the event of a mishap or power loss you may need to tow a boat or have yours towed. Remember you should not tow a boat larger than your own. Never tow a boat if you are not equipped with the proper lines. Nylon ropes are recommended. They have the strength and elasticity needed to absorb the shock of towing and sudden jerks.

  • Page 29: Anchoring

    USING A WINDLASS Anchoring can be less laborious if your boat has a windlass accessory. Parker Boats installs a 12 volt windlass and a stainless steel anchor roller as optional equipment on some models. The windlass is protected by a 60 amp breaker and a rocker toggle switch at the helm.

  • Page 30: General Information On Boat Handling

    general boating information BOAT HANDLING The best method of learning how to handle and obtain the best performance from your boat is to practice and experiment. After several hours of operation you should experiment with the throttle settings to determine the most comfortable and economical range for your particular loading conditions.

  • Page 31: Common Nautical Terms

    general boating information COMMON NAUTICAL TERMS Abeam - Perpendicular to a boat’s keel, side-to-side Access Plate - A removable, watertight cover that provides quick entry to enclosed areas for maintenance or visual inspection.

  • Page 32: Performance

    performance PERFORMANCE FACTORS Maximum performance is dependent on many factors and cannot be guaranteed. These factors will vary with changing conditions. Some of these factors are listed below. ENGINE EFFICIENCY Engines operate most efficiently at the RPM confirmed in the engine operating manuals, assuming your boat is equipped with the correct engines, the engines are properly tuned and the drive systems are in good condition.

  • Page 33: Propeller

    performance PROPELLER The propeller (“prop”) converts the engine’s power into thrust to propel the boat. The right prop for any boat in a specific application is one that allows the engine to turn up to its full rated RPM, but no more. It is necessary for the engine to turn to full rated rpm in order to develop full rated power.

  • Page 34: Engine Systems

    THROTTLE/SHIFT CONTROL The engines throttle/shift functions are located at the helm station. Your new Parker uses two types of control boxes. All models use a binnacle / top mount control box. Boats equipped with 2nd station may use Morse Twin S Controls at both main helm station and the 2nd station.

  • Page 35: Reverse Throttle

    performance Reverse Throttle: To engage the throttle mechanism in reverse continue to move the lever forward (back or aft) past the detent in a controlled motion. This motion will begin to increase engine RPM which will cause the boat to move backwards. (See shift function above for Morse Twin S.) Neutral Throttle: To engage the neutral throttle function on your Yamaha control box depress the neutral lockout button located at the center of the control lever’s pivot point.

  • Page 36: Hydraulic Steering

    TRIM TABS Parker Boats installs Lenco trim tabs. The tab planes mounted on the transom of the boat are actuated by a electric ram piston. Two switches at the helm operate the trim tabs. The switches are labeled “bow up-bow down” and correspond to the side of the boat the switch is closest to, although the tab on the opposite side of the boat causes this motion.

FUEL GAUGE This feature indicates the gas tank fuel level. When reading this gauge remember two things: (1) the accuracy of your gauge varies with the attitude of your boat in the water (trim or list heel), (2) the fuel pickup tube inside the gas tank is not capable of withdrawing all of the fuel from the tank.

  • Page 40: Switch Panel

    Circuit breakers are located either on the switch panel or nearby on a dedicated breaker panel. If a breaker trips repeatedly, troubleshoot the circuit for shorts or a malfunctioning device. Wiring diagrams for several current Parker models are included in this manual. Contact the Parker factory if your wiring diagram is not included.

  • Page 41: Maintenance & Service

    EXTERIOR FIBERGLASS FINISH The exterior finish of your Parker is a thin layer of resin with a finished color pigment called gelcoat. Its purpose is to protect the inner laminate from moisture and chemicals and to give the parts the glossy smooth colored finish that is the hallmark of fiberglass boats. Although gelcoat has a hard smooth surface it does contain microscopic pores that will allow surface discoloration if not kept clean.

    Failure to follow a preventative maintenance procedure will most likely result in aluminum pitting. These parts must be washed periodically with a very mild soap and water solution. Parker recommends washing with a mild soap (such as Ivory Liquid) after each use and every two to three weeks if stored in an outside marine environment.

  • Page 47: Batteries

    maintenance & services a more detailed inspection of fuel system components, especially those hidden from routine inspection. Replace any fittings, deteriorated hoses, clamps or connections immediately. BATTERIES The batteries in your boat have been selected to match the starting requirements of your engine. They should be secured in a non-metallic tray to contain any electrolyte spills and an insulated boot should cover at least the positive battery terminals.
  • Page 48 BATTERY SWITCH Your Parker may be equipped with a dual battery system, with a selector switch located near the batteries. The purpose of a dual battery system is to provide a backup source of power in the event the main battery should become discharged.

  • Page 49: General Information

    Avoid costly damage and delay when launching your boat by having it stored and winterized properly. This information is presented as a general guide and the actual storage should be performed by a professional and authorized Parker dealership. BOAT STORAGE To avoid personal injury and property damage it is advised to take extra precautions when lifting or moving the boat for storage.

  • Page 50: Winterization And Storage

    winterization and storage WINTERIZATION AND STORAGE Make sure the keel, chine and transom are fully supported. Indoor storage is beneficial particularly if your climate produces freezing weather. The storage unit should not be airtight but should be ventilated. Ventilation is extremely important both around and through the boat. For outdoor storage a canvas cover should be used to prevent “sweating”.

  • Page 51: Batteries

    winterization and storage BATTERIES Check the electrolyte level in your batteries and fully charge the batteries before storing. A weak battery loses its charge more rapidly than a strong battery. Ideally, you should disconnect the batteries and cover the terminals with grease to prevent corrosion. When replacing batteries in the boat remove excess dielectric grease from terminals and charge as necessary before reinstalling.

  • Page 52: Commissioning Boat After Storage

    PRIOR TO LAUNCHING It is recommended that your Parker boat be re-commissioned by an authorized dealer. Below is a list of items to check and perform prior to placing your boat in the water. The following list will give you some ideas and suggestions.
  • Page 53 winterization and storage There is a deck plate installed on the port gunwale beside the cockpit marked “Waste”- most marinas and some municipalities can empty your holding tank through this fitting. In areas where discharge is allowed, waste can be pumped overboard. A key switch in the console operates this pump.
