So I took my 180 BR out a few weeks ago and noticed a Tapping sound from the motor when i'd rev it up it would go away. Next trip out it's now constant at any RPM. Sounds like Valve Train... 3-4 seasons ago I had the head all reworked with all new SS Valves and new seats, New Manifold and Riser...
So I had a blow out with my 13 year old Goodyear Martathons last night. Yes I am guessing on age as the date code was only three digits and ended in 9 i'm guessing they were 99 tires and were originals on my 2000 shorelander trailer. Tires have really changed over the years I'm seeing as these...

Just wanted to pass on a real find. Boaterbarn.com has some of the best prices I've found. Granted I haven't purchased anything from them but I sure have printed out their ad's and taken them to west marine and gotten price matches!... West marine price on Garmin Transducer $69.99 Price matched...
Okay so I loaded the boat up yesterday headed for the shop to get the boat a once over. Slowed at a redlight and some guy decided he wanted to use my boat to stop his truck (DUI investigations at 3pm are always fun). Broke the tip off the scagg, bent the center of my SS Prop, possably knocked...
I noticed some of the other models have a dedicated thread so I figured we could have one as well. After asking for some assistance on my new to me 180 I've gotten help from other 180 owners and I'm sure there's more. So this will give us somewhere to conversate! Feel free to ask other 180...
How do you all clean your flame arestor? Mine has some engine oil in it from a back fire issue i'm working out. I would assume since it's a metal device it can be cleaned/ sprayed with Carb cleaner or brake cleaner and the excess should run threw the layers if held verticle? Any info would be...
Scott I assume you'll prolly be right on top of this... but I need a photo of the cap of what I believe to be the trim fluid resivior. Right over by the battery. Mine is not making a very good seal and leaking a bit out the top. The cap will not get tight. Is this a snap lid or does yours thread...
Hello, all I would like to introduce myself and give a small amount of background. I am in FL and just purchased my first boat today. I have had Ski's in the past but this is my first actual boat. It's a 2000 SeaRay 180 I/O Merc 3.0 in great condition. I am an extremely mechanical person so I...
Hello all I am a new boater, I purchased a 2000 Sea Ray 180 today with a 3.0 I/O Merc. I build Sportbikes for a living so mechanics are second nature but I am looking for a little very novice info. I am looking for what services I need to complete on my new (to me) boat and the frequency of...
