    175 sport

    Hi guys, Something that's been bugging me for a while now is the passenger seat on my boat seems to be positioned too far back, and unlike my seat it can not be adjusted forward/backward. I've been thinking of re-positioning but believe I would have to completely re-mount and drill new holes...

    4 blade prop?

    I'd agree with the last post. Had the stock Al prop on my 175 sport when I bought it. Luckily for me I hit a submerged object. (Didn't think so at the time). Did a lot of reading and speaking to prop specialists and then managed to get my hands on a high 5 (blade). Wow Hole shot is excellent...

    What prop to use for a 175

    Well guys I've now tried the 21 high five for a few weeks and its running great. Spins up to speed and gets on the plane within a few seconds and continues well up to 40mph. (checked with gps.) Also much between turning 'circle' without dropping out. Would recommend it to everyone.

    High 5 Prop Reviews ( success or dissapointment)

    I've been playing with a 21pitch high five this week as my boat came with a 21 aluminiumwhen I bought it even though I've now checked with sea ray and they state it should be a 19. However, it spins up well, gets on the plane within seconds and still gets up to 40mph (Checked with gps). And the...

    New 185 Owner. Few ?s

    Dutchman, I hear what Blaster is saying about your question and indeed it is an anode but I have the same boat as you and I have the fin you are talking about and indeed like you I also have powered steering. I'm not suggesting Blaster is incorrect, but thought it worthwhile responding to...

    What prop to use for a 175

    That's interesting, you say your boat came with a 19" prop. Mine came with a 21" Al prop. Unfortunately I've not played too much with my boat as I only purchased it late last year and don't use in the winter months. And sod's law came a knocking last weekend, in that I struck something totally...

    Cover Questions

    I had exactly the same worry as you, so I've created something myself. I've cut a section out of an offcut of a piece of uPVC (what we use for window cills in the UK) and screwed (using very small screws) a popper male on one side and female on the other. This now works great and I've never had...

    Installing New VHF & Antenna on 18' Sea Ray - Where to Put Them?

    I had a similar dilema to you as I've got the 175sp. With almost exactly the same dash. In the end I decided to make some stand-off brackets and mount it in the starboard pocket just by my knee. If I get a chance tomorrow i'll take a pic. I've also decided to mount the antenna off the bimi cover...

    Where to install VHF in a 175 sport

    Guys, Firstly I like to say, what a great site. I've spent the last few days reading numerous posts and gaining more vital knowledge. I've recently purchased a 2008 175 sport and need to install a Navman 7100 VHF. Can any one help with a suitable location that doesn't get knocked, and is...
