Would love to see some pics guys! Thanks

Would love to see the pics but they seem to be gone.

Yea the body style changes in 2006. Thanks though.

With only the two rear speakers I want to put some up front but cant come up with a good spot. I am sure others have tackled this problem. Anyone have any pictures of what they did? Thanks

The smart tabs worked well for me. They pop you right out of the water no matter the balance.

I got my oil analysis back today and it showed high silicon. I am looking for an alternative to the stock flame arrestor. Does anyone have any good options that fit the stock carb? I have see a few just bolt on old style filter/cover assemblies but what do you do about the crank case lines that...

Sorry, yea the fuel and stablizer was added first. This oil only has 3-5 hours on it so I am guessing it wont have many contaminants in it. Yea we dont run the boat a whole lot. We like to float!

Its a 2005 185 BR 4.3 It only has 40 hours so no major maintance is needed. I just feel like I forgot something this time. Let me know what else you may suggest. 1. Bring motor to temp and fogged Motor 2. Pulled both block plugs, pulled both manifold plugs and water pump plug and replaced...

Must be a deep cycle marine battery if you dont want to be stranded on the water. You dont have to go to the dealer, they will be overpriced. Something like this would work. http://www.optimabatteries.com/optima_products/bluetop/index.php

Its an hourglass..

Your problem sounds more like old gas then anything and they did not make a FI 4.3 in 1997. Your boat is carbed..

Thanks guys for all the input, I did check the gear lube and it was super clean and no water..

Engine oil is done in the spring for me.. Outdrive oil still looks new with only 32 hours on the boat and the spark arrestor was checked when I fogged. Thanks though.. I am not sure I have grease fittings, thats something I better check!

I was in a hurry and ever since I backed it into the garage and covered it, I feel like I forgot something.. 185 BR 4.3 V6 1. Pull plug - Check 2. Fill with 93 Octane and stabilizer - Check 3. With muffs run to operating temp and fog - Check 4. Drain 5 plugs, 2 block, 2 exhaust, 1 water pump...

I shoe horn my 2005 185 into our little one car garage up north. If I remember correctly its only 18' long from wall to door. So with my tounge folder and outdrive turned all the way to the side I have about 2" to spare when I shut the door!! I cant get a bigger boat until we get a bigger garage!

Edit

Looking through my pics, is this the type of jack you have?

Wish I could help, its up at the Cabin. We might be going there this weekend so if you dont have it by then I can get it for you..

I would not own a boat without the sunpad but thats just my preference. Otherwise there is no place on the boat for the girls to really stretch out and get some sun. I hate the layout with all the seats front to back. How often will you have that many people on the boat? I would go maybe a...

Thanks guys, I will make some calls today..
