There's only so much stuff I can fit on my 180:D. I have a small rechargeable Bluetooth speaker, I hang from the crossbar of the T-top and stream my iPhone to it.

I put 9x12 Lectro Tabs in my 180 four years ago and wouldn't be without them. Ending my 4th year no problems, easy to install and operate. While hydraulics may be more dependable, Lectrotab has a lifetime warranty on their pistons so if one goes bad, I'll just change it. You'll have to drill two...

Here's my Sportsman's wheel, I think it's a Schmidt. I bought this knob, drilled the wheel and mounted. Since I have cable steering the smoothness of the knob is a moot point, it's plenty smooth enough for the cable system.

This is what I did on my 180 which probably has a smaller console than yours. I moved the compass to an in dash model and was able to mount two 9 inch Garmins up top. I hung the VHF from the top of the glove box.

I'm curious, did you remove your seat from the deck? I've been trying to find out information about doing that so I could turn the seat around. That way I could slide a cooler under it from the rear. Right now they have that bar across the top in the back, I'd like to switch it to the front. But...

I got lucky, my livewell pump already had a dual port, may want to check..

I just added a knob to my basic wheel, works fine for me. But if you need the inserts, I guess that's the only way to go.

put VHF overhead?

I have a 180 Sportsman. I read before I put it in the water, that I would probably need trim tabs. I put on Lectrotabs, and I can't imagine running without them.

I installed a Shurflo last year, still going strong. 2 year warranty.

FWIW, I have a 180 that I wanted to install a shoot thru hull transducer in so I put a hatch in the deck in front of the motor well. I think they use closed cell foam since there's always some water in the bilge but the foam doesn't absorb it. Also, if I stand alone in front of my motor, water...

Probably should check gas tank and lines too.

Do a search on here for "bang cap" "bang plate" and "transom repair". You'll see lots of pics of what to look for.

Spectrum has different colors for GW by year of build.

that took a turn....

Re-powering is the time to do it, when the engine is off. My boat is a 2004 180, the bang cap only covered the back edge of the transom. I had it removed, the seam between hull and liner cleaned out and glassed over and then the new plastic bang cap installed. I was lucky, no water intrusion to...

My gelcoat is beginning to hold some blood stains at the end of the day, probably needs a buff and wax. In the midst of a fishing blitz I do my best to get blood off ASAP but there are always some clots that leave a ring when scrubbed off at the end of the day. They usually fade away in a day...

Entire boat or T-Top curtain? I went with curtain, about $600. https://rnr-marine.com/purchase.php?product=T-Top-Center-Console-Storage-Curtains-EL-44x84

Charlie, what is that on the table over the battery? Does it allow you to charge the lithium battery from the engine?
