    Can anyone direct me toward the manufacturer of these clip inserts?

    I'm interested in these but every imsge above shows the rod holder leaning into the boat if the bracket is mounted on the interior gunwale wall, inside the boat. Can the rod holder be flipped around to slide in with it leaning out of the boat?

    Livewell Seacock

    Question, my 2004 180 has the original bronze seacock for the livewell, it moves but is stiff which tells me a good seal. It is a PIA to reach though an make sure it's fully shut, I have to practically climb in the access hatch and grasp it with my fingers only. From reading above, removing the...

    The insulated coolers work great!

    Not the same thing but when I got my 2004 180 a couple years ago I did not have much confidence in the bow fishbox/cooler. I was pleasantly surprised to find it works rather well. With 3 bags of ice and some saltwater to make a slurry it will freeze plastic bottles of water in short order and...

    I live down the road, I called the owner. Asking is $35K. The boat has been in the family since new, originally down in the Hamptons, current owner bought it from his BIL and did the repower, only 30 hours on motors. Nice guy, happy to hear it's posted here.

    New unit is new, out of box. I just finished working with a very patient Garmin tech. We started from scratch, deleted the AC app from iPad. Reformatted SD card to MS Dos FAT on my PC, this was something I hadn't tried. Also,on the iPad, in Chart Download settings, I only checked the first 4...

    Garmin Navionics+ and Garmin Navionics Vision+ Sale

    I'm doing this at home, I have the newer unit hooked up to a battery from the boat. Garmin did say that I only had to load the charts onto the newer unit and that the older unit would display them when they are networked together. At the Helm I can see both units because they are both registered...

    Garmin Navionics+ and Garmin Navionics Vision+ Sale

    I have tried all the suggestions. When I said 'delete evreything" I meant that Garmin's online help states if it doesn't work start over. I have done that twice. I know about switching the wifi. After downloading charts to the iPad I switch the wifi to the 943's Garmin network, it sees the iPad...

    Garmin Navionics+ and Garmin Navionics Vision+ Sale

    What a PITA...I bought the NVUS007 US East download. I put a new 32Gb SD card in my 943xsv. I used an iPad to download the charts I wanted using the moving box thing they have. The 943 network sees the iPad and connects and it updates everything except the maps. I get the great relief shading...

    Garmin Navionics+ and Garmin Navionics Vision+ Sale

    I have Active Captain setup and did use it to update the software on both units. Both units will be connected using a network cable. So it sounds like if buy the NVUS007 Vision update, it will upgrade the basemaps on my older unit and also upgrade both units to Vision+, is that right? I don't...

    Garmin Navionics+ and Garmin Navionics Vision+ Sale

    Help me out here. I bought an 943xsv 2 years ago and dropped the extra $250 for the VUS004R New York BlueChart g3 Vision card. This year I got a second unit which shipped with Navionics base maps and apparently can't use the old Vision card. It came with Navionics base maps. If I buy the upgrade...

    Sportsman/Fisherman 180 - Anchor locker

    I got a Guardian 7 for 2004 Sportsman 180 this year but haven't had a chance to use it yet. How does it hold? Easy to set? How much chain and what size? I went with 10ft of 3/16". After I got the Guardian I called about something and they told me the Fortress coating is better in saltwater, too...

    Help wiring a washdown pump.

    Thanks, got it. The total run (there and back) is about 22ft, the pump's instructions said 14ga is good to 20ft, then too much voltage drop, so I went with 12ga.

    Help wiring a washdown pump.

    I'm adding a washdown pump which needs a 15A fuse. My 180 has two empty switches in the dash for added accessories. The existing fuse is a 5A. Can I just swap it out for a 15A? Here's where I intend to connect it, does positive just go to the switch and black right to the ground busbar? I...
