2004 180 Sportsman w/Honda 150 Install second battery and smart switch. Install raw water washdown. Under helm seat tackle storage. Remove dash speedometer (pitot) and replace with compass, allowing me to remove original compass to make room to Install 2nd Garmin chartplotter and transducer...

I put a hatch in the rear of my 180. I did it so I could gain access to mount an in-hull transducer. Not much room down there for much else with all the foam...

You "believe he said" or he did say? I'd be pissed too if that was my boat. You've gotten a few good suggestions here but at this point it seems all you want to do is post about it. I'll give you one more possibility. I assume the boat is insured? File a damage claim with your insurance and...

You ever get help on this? I have a diagram if needed.

I have a 2004 180 with the plastic tank. I also notice a funky smell when working in the hatches but have never seen any evidence of gas leakage on anything. Never any residue in the bilge. It doesn't smell like raw gas, more like old oil, like working under the hood of an old car. I thought it...

My GArmin came with 4 tanks of varying degrees.

I did this on my 180 this past spring. I figured my boat wasn't level on thetrailer or the trailer on the ground so I put a board across the gunnels and measured the angle, I was 2-3˚ off level. Then I measured the angle of the hull at the mounting point and subtracted the first number from...

Boat was trailered until 2 years ago when I bought it. I did the barrier coat then. I'm 67, if I still have it in 20 years someone else will be doing that work...;)

Sorry for the confusion, my fault. Bronze is lifetime, that's all I need to know. thanks, Rob

Thanks, I was thinking of the through hull more than the actual valve, which seems very solid.

My 2004 180 Sportsman still has the original bronze seacock and thru-hull fitting for the live well. It looks and feels fine, very rigid when I turn the valve handle, so I have no reason to believe anything is wrong. Are these type fittings usually replaced at a certain age as scheduled...

The arrow should be pointing to the drilled pilot hole in the deck. you fill with epoxy and drive the screw while wet so it cures molded to the screw and is forced into deck substrate.

I put a T-Top on a 180 this year and since there was no way to use backing plates the manufacturer recommends "screw and glue", putting 5200 under the floor pads before screwing down. I'm amazed how solid it is.

Inside a 180, in front of bilge pump area....quite a bit of foam.

Will do, thanks.

I'm having some end of year work/winterizing done and was thinking of having them shrink wrap the boat but would need to trailer it about 20 miles home at highway speed. Will shrink wrap hold up to that?

No , the albies came in on LI north Shore around Cranes Neck, might even still be around, but I didn't see any on The CT side. Going out in the morning though.

That's the launch ramp in Norwalk, I'm docked at Ischoda Yacht Club. You in Stamford? I'll look out for you. I fish primarily between Darien and Bridgeport, Eatons to Stratford Shoals. Boat has a top now....

The striping on my 2004 180 was all chewed up when I got it. I figured new decals were the price of a decent fishing reel so I went minimalist, and I like it....

I'm considering having 3 sided windscreen for the T-Top on my 180CC.
