    adding second battery to 182 - together or one on each side?

    the jump pack is a good idea - I will certainly give that some thought - hope to never need but you never know! Bring on spring!

    adding second battery to 182 - together or one on each side?

    adding a Perko switch and extra battery to run accessories/radio off of. For those of you with second battery on the smaller BR's - do you have them together or one on each side? Thinking about the extra weight on port side if both together and would contribute to listing to port. If seperate...

    I am REALLLLLLY PISSED.......

    This happened to my mother - it switched automatically. We were able to switch back to the hotmail view - if I recall, we clicked on the settings/options (upper right side if I recall) and there was an option to switch back to hotmail. that worked for her (about 2 months ago)

    Spare on 190 trailer?

    I just put one on my 182 (single axle). About same as NorCal but on other side. I picked up a spare on CL and bought the offset mount on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Extreme-Max-3001-0064-Mount-Carrier/dp/B001AXKOCA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1360419561&sr=8-1&keywords=offset+spare+tire I was...

    Spare tire mount for SR 182BR?

    Hey all - I picked up a used spare tire for the 182BR. What I need now is a tire mount to the trailer. Any thoughts on best mount and mount location? I have the swing away hitch. I've looked at cabelas and bass pro - and they have several mounts, however, not sure if any of them give the...

    Smart Tab SX on 2003 176 BR - need advice on mounting position

    I used these photos as an additional reference (though not the SX version). http://myboat.wikispaces.com/Smart+Tabs+Install I'm not completely following you on the only on hole 5 - once you get the new end piece to replace the U style end, you can mount at hole 3 position so you have some...

    Smart Tab SX on 2003 176 BR - need advice on mounting position

    which hole you use should not affect bracket alignment. Put in hole 3, let the tab fall to its hanging position which should be near the correct angle, then let the upper bracket fall against the boat. That is where you place the upper bracket. They just dont want you aligning the upper...

    Smart Tab SX on 2003 176 BR - need advice on mounting position

    It's not exactly a mount plate as you use the same upper and lower brackets that screw into boat. If you look at the shock, the bottom "U" shaped piece that fits over the adjustment holes can unscrew. They will send you a replacement that only has one side instead of straddling both sides of...

    Smart Tab SX on 2003 176 BR - need advice on mounting position

    You will have to have Nauticus mail you a single sided fitting to change how the shock mounts to the tab. The stock lower fitting mounts on either side of the tab holes. This will bind if you use the one that came with the kit. Nauticus will mail you a new one that screws into the lower shock...

    Smart tabs installed on 200 BR

    looks great! I noticed a much smoother ride as well on my 182. Did you have to get the alternate upper fitting since on the curve?

    185 Sport with 190HP 4.3 for skiing?

    I have the 182 with the 4.3 (2002 vintage). I'm 235 lbs and I can ski behind mine so nuff said on whether it can or cant pull a skier! I did change out to a 4 blade prop (21p) and have the Nauticus tabs on them (more to stop porposing).

    Another Propeller Thread - Mercury Factory 3 blade vs Turning Point 4 blade

    I've done both on my 182 BR 4.3L. I have the 60SX tabs as well as changed prop from 23p 3 blade to an alum 21p 4 blade. I think the combo of the two works great. I got the tabs for porpoising and the prop for pulling / hole shot. Speed dropped a bit with the setup, but will still go way to...

    How much water in bilge do you get?

    agreed - bilge pump never comes on - the only water in the boat is the water that we bring in from swimming, tubes, boards, etc. - and I make sure most is drained on the swim deck.

    Took our first outing in the boat last weekend, couple questions

    I too put the 3 ft (or so) guides on my 182BR, as we get some wind here in Missouri as well. Make a whirl of a difference and get it on the bunks perfect every time!

    switch from 3 blade to 4 blade 182BR 4.3l carb

    Hi all - purchased a used 2002 182 BR 4.3 l carb (190 hp) this year. Mint condition, 80 hrs - now has 86 hrs :) runs perfect - but some trouble pulling the teenagers out on skis. Has stock prop 14x23 alum. Great top end speed (too much if you ask family!) Was out yesterday with 5 in...
