If you’re from the north shore I was probably closer to you than CT.

LI Sound out of Norwalk, CT, 12 fish boated, 31-41". All downhill from here...

Circling back to this, I went with Lectrotabs. Installing the tabs was straightforward, wiring was a breeze. Operation is easy with the touchpad and they make a substantial difference with a Honda 150 hanging off the transom....

Hookup, Is your 943 flush mounted or on the bail? If it's on the bail would you mind measuring the total height from bottom of bail to top of unit? I want to put one on my 180 but the sloping windshield may prevent that. thanks, Rob

My running lights weren't turning on, I traced the problem to a faulty 10A dashboard circuit breaker which was only putting 6VDC through. This is a small rubber button next to the switch on the dash. I tried removing the dash but the 6 mounting screws have frozen, the first one snapped right...

Nice job too! Nice not ever having to worry about that again

That's what mine looks like also, an unfinished, angled, end with glass fibers protruding. Hard to get a plug to seal. Also, if this line was plugged, how would you know if the tank is leaking? It's a sealed compartment.

Hence the manual's recommendation... "The access plates on your fuel tank lids keep the fuel compartments sealed. Over time, the opening and closing of these plates causes the o-rings to wear-out. Replace these o-rings as necessary to maintain the watertight integrity of the plates."

Thanks for the heads up, I'll check mine in the morning. May have to hire a orangutan to put the plug in though, gonna need three foot arms....

I don't think mine is plugged, I'll check tomorrow. Why should it normally be plugged? In case tank leaks?

No deck hatch on a 180. Although I have wondered if it's possible to put one in between the stringers, at the X, for storage...

Thanks Dennis. By "drain tube" do you mean where it comes out at the front bulkhead of the bilge?

While reading the owners manual for my 2004 180 Sportsman I came across this... "WINTERIZATION AND STORAGE - FUEL SYSTEM The fuel tank compartment should be rinsed with fresh water to keep salt crystals from forming and corroding the fuel tank. After rinsing, make sure all water is drained from...

The ones Byram listed right above my post. No worries, I needed a project last night.

Well, $26 each on Amazon didn't do it for me...but an $8, 12"x12" piece of 1/8" rubber did...enough for 16 pieces First one took about 25 min., 10 min. each after that.

Well maybe a destroyer wheel with and Edison in the future, right now I have other things to spend that cash on. This looks like it will be a decent work around, I pulled my existing wheel and a hole drilled in one of the spokes will mount the knob. One more question, when I puled the wheel...

I know he didn't tint further, used it as it came. Here's the thread, mine start on p.2. https://www.greatgrady.com/threads/transom-bang-cap-replace-with-ss-vinyl-or-glass-it-over.31506/page-2#post-214283

I posted this a few weeks back in a post about transom repair... "BTW, we needed gelcoat Tuesday to finish the job, the shop told they had always used Spectrum color even though it's $150/qt. and were going to have it sent overnight. The local dealer was closed on Sunday so I found one further...

What I don't understand is this color matching business, why not just buy GW gelcoat from a dealer, about the same price.

Thanks, found it.
