Hi, I’m having a similar issue! My tank on my 180 bowrider is saying full! I used a after market fuel sender and it done exactly the same. I moved the sender up and down and got nothing on the gauge except it saying full tank. I was then told I needed an American sender due to the difference in...
My question was that it was mentioned that a high 5 13x19p ss prop is a great all round prop For the 3.0 180 bowrider 135hp but from my experience today it’s over revin the engine! 2 adults calm sea trimmed out at max power I was getting 35mph at 5200 REVS that’s too much! Great hole shot And...
Hi, I am currently out on the boat as we speak and I had a 14.25 x19p which was running around 4400 to 4800 I have just upgraded to a high five 13 x 19p and the acceleration is amazing at getting out the hole but at full acceleration and trimmed out my REVS are far to high 5200!
Any advice on...
Hi everyone, my fuel gauge is saying full constantly so I took out the sender and replaced with a unit my local dealer recommend and it’s doing the same! I also put the two cables together that attaches to the sender to make a circuit and the Gauge goes up to full so it can’t be a wire issue.
Hi Scott, is your high five 19p a 13.25 diameter? I’ve just been offered a ss 13.25 19p very cheap in immaculate condition! currently I’ve got a 3 blade ss 14.25 19p
Thanks for your fast reply! I’m currently running a 14.25 19 p ss prop and have been offered a very cheap immaculate ss high five 13.25 19p prop! My question is will this make a difference in comparison to what I have currently? My worry is the diameter of the five prop? Is it too small? Ps I...
Can anyone tell me the best way to set up my carb for max power! It runs very lumpy and doesn’t idle well! Just had it rebuilt and still not great and I’m lucky if I get 35 mph flat out at 4000 rpm!
Great advice!
Thanks again. Last weekend I fitted Nauticus smart tabs and did see a big improvement! So I think I’m just going to concentrate on getting the carb set up correctly and look at props! Not sure what prop is on it as it has no numbers! All it says is rapture and it’s a 3 blade...
Thanks for the
hi thanks for the reply! I have done all the things you’ve suggested. Carb rebuild, dizzy and leads plugs etc ! Think the carb needs setting properly ie mixture and idle. But find it strange that there isn’t anything out there to make the 3.0 faster? Example a Carb upgrade etc
Is there any way of getting more power from my 3.0? I know there isn’t a great deal you can do with them but wanted to know if there is a possibility?

Mike
