Default Why Small Outboards Sink - Low Transoms Cited

My model Parker is available with a "splash board" that would repel
backwash and keep it out of the cockpit. I know of one guy who ordered it
with his boat, on the 21' pilothouse model. He removed it. They're just
not necessary, except, maybe to guys who imagine they boat on Lake LAnier
with imaginary boats.


You have got to be kidding. An otherwise reputable boat manufacturer like
Parker offers a "splash board"?
Why don't they just build it right to begin with?

Splash boards are an apology for poor engineering and design.
