You should pour some of that beer on the backside of your steering wheel
to loosen the crud that seems stuck to it.

That is the surface rust that forms on 304 SS


I always got a kick out of that "low transom" nonsense. The lowest part
of the transom on that Parker was 25"...the same depth or deeper than
many other boats its size, more than a few of which have only 20"
transoms. The ignorant jibes just further demonstrated the lack of
boating knowledge in this so-called "news group." The boats I had when I
was a kid running them all over Long Island Sound only had 15" transoms.

Yet you cant see the motor?


Where did you get that idea? It was an open center console boat. The
motor was equipped with senders and the Yamaha console gauge reported them.

Oh, and I keep my stainless steel pristine.

A while back you said you couldn't see your motor, make up your mind.

... and I prefer to use my boat, not make it pristine.

Maybe that is why you don't have one now. You made it too troublesome
to actually use.
I get out 3 days a week, 12 months a year. How often did you go?



Couldn't see the motor on the 25' Parker when I was in the cabin. Could
always see the motor on the 21' Parker. Still have a boat, get out once
or twice a week, get down to the marina several other days a week.

I've always kept my boats pristine. Boating season for me around here is
sometime in April until maybe Thanksgiving.
