    Grady Fuel Tank Help

    Wow, that is an eye-opener, as I too have a '99 180 and periodic inspection has revealed slight pooling of moisture in this location on my tank as well. After owning this boat for 9 years I thought that this poly tank was impenetrable, but now I know that's wrong. Good luck and please keep us...

    Who is right?

    The sailfish entering the channel, jmho. And i don't think it's a matter of '...egos...' as someone stated above, but merely a case of judgement. If i fish in the channel of our harbor, wakes are to be expected. However, if I am passing other boaters/kayakers fishing in the channel, I try to...

    Adding raw water washdown to a 180....

    ...thinking about it for a winter project. Sick of using buckets and sponges after bleeding out fish. Would like to see some pics of the factory option, if anybody has some, or if anybody has added this option to a 180 would like to see there setup. Any input appreciated! Thanks, Bob.

    SS Drink Holder Upgrade

    My stainless cup holders were just about an exact fit. If anything, were just a bit snug going in, had to lubricate them to seat all the way down. Definitely not coming out! I'll try to get pics, they are a nice upgrade, the plastic ones age/weather quickly.

    SS Drink Holder Upgrade

    Bill, don't think they are 316, as they do oxidize slightly. But I've found using a polisher (can't remember the name!) keeps them looking good.

    180 Sportsman console rod holder install

    Yep, I have the same model and year. I'm not sure what that guy Bert was trying to tell you, but you'd have to remove the freshwater tank to do the starboard side. That console is a lot of fun to work in, and I am only 5'10' and 180! .... Definitely an end of the season project! At least...

    Bow Eye

    Jeff, I too walked the beach Monday and was sorry to see this boat ashore. Hate to ask, but why didn't he pull the boat? Although that point is now moot, I do wonder how much the bow eyes are rated for. I usually pull my boat (same mooring are) when the the forecast calls for 35+ winds, but...

    Irene- To haul or not to haul

    If you have a trailer, haul. Nothing like a little piece of mind while you listen to the wind howl and watch video after video of waves breaking over docks....

    Sportsman 180 Speed and Handling Questions

    What Parthery said. Regarding #3, I remember my first test ride and thinking the same thing. I quickly got used to it. Good luck with your setup, its a great boat. - Bob

    Adding a GW factory ski pylon to a 180 Sportsman

    Have you contacted the dealership where you purchased the boat? I have a 180 and am rather curious as to how that installation will go. There certainly is not a lot of room to work back there. Good luck and keep us posted. - Bob

    '99 180 second battery placement?

    1999 SWS ox66 2-stroke 150. Battery under each seat with the oil resovoir under the port jumpseat as well. It is a little snug under the port jump seat, but it fits.
