I installed the gps to the left of the steering wheel, but didn't like it there. I moved it to the right where it's easily to see protected by the windshield. The ram mount makes it easy to adjust.. viewing angle is important in direct sunlight. I also like swinging the unit away from the dash...

I have a 185 and used a ram mount attached to dash fiberglass. it comes out just far enough to clear the steering wheel and I can adjust its position as needed. Been very happy with that setup.

Thanks for pointing it out... exactly what I was looking for.

Can anyone recommend the best location and proper bracket to mount a 14" spare tire for a 2010 185 sport with swing-tounge shorlandr trailer..?? I understand some locations are better than others... hoping to avoid some trial and error. Thanks!

My pansy SUV (cadillac srx) doesn't even have a spare tire! The car comes with run-flat tires and roadside assist. Thanks for suggestions. The cheap scissor jack I bought from walmart (all they had) was REALLY difficult to use, took all I had to turn the crank. Definitely need to carry...

Hi All Another 'learning experience' I had my first blown tire, driving on highway with my 185 sport and single-axle trailer.. Fortunately, only damaged the tire/rim and the fender is gone. I was not prepared for this and had no spare or jack Thankfully, walmart was 1 mile away, I...

No AWD.. I had no idea we'd buy a boat at the time we chose the car. Other than towing up a boat ramp, not much use for an AWD in FL.

Thanks for all the tips.. Funny.. when I bought the boat/trailer, I was thinking my existing FWD car was an advantage (motor over the drive wheels and on dryer part of ramp).. Live and learn... I'd really like to avoid buying tires on a temporary car... So.. I'll find a course sand and...

Thanks for all info so far.. I'm stuck with the FWD SUV for about 16 months (2 summers)- ugh... Didn't know I'd buy a boat when I leased this car. I've only had real issues twice over about 50 launches... so looking for a low-cost option for the occasional times it's needed... As to the ideas...

Hi All Vehicle: 2010 Cadillac SRX. Front wheel drive, stock tires, 21,000 miles. I have another year on lease on the SRX. Not what I would call an ideal tow vehicle, but it handles my 185sport just fine. After the lease is up, I'm hoping to upgrade the boat and the vehicle :smt038 My main...

I bought a 440 and added the G2 Vision card (bought it all used via craigslist)... Before I installed it, I ran it from my jumpbox cig outlet.. The learning curve for me was understanding how to do route planning on the computer, upload/download route and tracks, etc. The 440 (and 540) don't...

I'm almost in the same boat... (literally) We own a 2010 185sport, it's our first boat- we purchased last summer... We've taken it out almost every decent weekend and I'm ready to start looking for something larger. I'd love to see what your deal looks like.. I'd like to move up to a...

I'll definitely have them deal with the issue..... But I may be in a better position to work with them if I have some ideas where they should be checking... otherwise, I will probably get the "it didn't do that here" routine.

Hi All I have a 2010 Sport 185 with 4.3TKS After running her for a while, when I turn the key to OFF, the motor will keep sputtering for some time. I've let it go for what seems like half a minute, then to stop it, I'll turn the key back to ON (it starts running again without using the...
