    Sportsman/Fisherman 180 - Anchor locker

    Anyone know if a Fortress FX-7 (their smallest anchor) will fit in the anchor locker of a Sportsman 180? Or does anyone have the actual dimensions of the anchor locker, recesses for the anchor etc. Am away from the boat so can’t measure it! Thanks all.

    180 Fisherman - anyone added a windlass?

    Hello all. I have a Fisherman 180 in the U.K. and would really benefit from adding a small anchor windlass. It’s manageable without, but I spend a lot of time anchoring in choppy conditions and would love to make this addition if I can do so sensibly, keeping a reasonably clean foredeck. Has...

    Yam 150 / Grady 180 - Engine temperature

    Probably should post on the Yamaha forum too - took the boat on a run today - 2008 Grady White 180 with a 2008 Yamaha F150 with 250hrs. At higher revs (above 4K) the temperature crept up to around 2/3 on the gauge. I haven’t honestly noticed before but thought it always used to sit in the middle...

    Yamaha 150 trim/tilt component

    I have a Yamaha F150 (2008) on my Sportsman 180. The trim tilt recently started leaking. I’ve found the source of the leak - pump manifold, and ordered replacement o rings. Have spent 2 days removing a stubborn bolt from it - horrendous job, due to aluminium+stainless+salt water! Anyway … I’m...

    Greetings from the U.K. Our new (to us) 2008 Sportsman 18. Yamaha F150. Totally awesome boat - so glad we bought it. Have not seen another one this side of the pond, so she really stands out in the crowd. Grady White have been amazing, answering a few questions that we had, and this forum has...

    Grady White 180 - Yamaha F150

    Good evening from the U.K. I have a Grady White 180 Sportsman. Can you let me know what size props you are running and what revs you get at WOT? I have a Yamaha F150 from 2008, WOT is 5200rpm and gives 40mph. Hull is completely clean, but has been painted/antifouled. My Propeller is 13.75xM19...

    Yamaha F150

    Hi. Can anyone please advise in which year the logos on the cowling of a Yamaha F150 changed, to include the “propeller” icon? I recently viewed a GW180 with this engine, stated to be 2007, and it says “Yamaha” “Four Stroke” and includes the propeller icon as well, whereas research on the web...
