    Trimming your stern drive

    I have just installed trim tabs and when they have improved the way the boat behaves dramatically, my wife says 50% less bumps, I find that I need to trim the drive up much more to keep the bow high in the chop. Wich brings me to my question ... how much can one trim up safely? The shaft from...

    SeaRayCanvas

    I need to purchase a bow and cockpit clip-on cover for my 2005 Sea Ray 180. SeaRayCanvas seems to be the choice for close to original covers using Sunbrella fabric. However when I want to go on their website my anti virus software (McAfee) warns me not to go there since it is a 'dangerous site'...

    Larger fuel tank

    I am interested to hear from people who have fitted a larger aftermarket fuel tank to their boat. Our boat lives on a river with almost no fuel supply. I keep a 200 L drum at the house but the boat only takes 79 (usable probably 70 ) liters and we can not go all day without refueling. I don't...

    High five or Quicksilver

    I am after a new prop for my 180. Has anyone had experience with the Quicksilver 5 blade? The "Propgods" tell me that it is the same prop then the high five only without the vents. Are those vent in the High Five any good? Do you get higher fuel use with the 5 blade prop?

    Steering slack

    My steering has excessive play. Considering the boat has 50 hours, what could be the likely cause? Side to side it is 10 to 2 sort of play and it feels as if it is in the mechanical connection before the power steering system. At rest all switched off I can turn the wheel very lightly side to...

    Gear Crunch

    I never owned a stern drive before my 180 Sport 4Cyl. I had a series of wooden shaft driven boats that had mechanical or hydraulic gearboxes that made no gear noise when operated. In my 180 3L Alpha 1 - I notice that the gears give a distinctive and unnerving crunch when going into forward or...

    Supersize fuel tank

    Has anyone fitted a super size fuel tank? In my little SR 180 the tank holds 50 L yet there is room for easy another 50 right next to the existing tank. We are on the Hawkesbury and there are only a couple of places for fuel. Does anyone know of a larger after market fuel tank?

    Instruments on Sea Ray 180 Sport 2005

    Still working on my Sea Ray 180 2005. Just fitted new carpet and need to give it a good clean up to get all the greasy hand marks left behind. Also must stick the name to it. In stead of the registration mix of letters and numbers I got myself "Twain" Since my name is Marc I thought it would...

    Sea Ray 180 Engine cover

    I have a question for those who know the 180 sport. Mine is 2005 and is the one with the bench seat and the big cross sunpad that doubles as an engine cover. I only recently bought this boat and have yet to take it for a ride. I had to do some cleaning up, change a few parts and general...
