Ordered my fuel filter, new rubber ducky because mines gone, a vhf radio which won’t be here for a month and some green led strip lights for the cabin. Future purchase will be a new marine radio and speakers but that’s gonna wait for now as the fm works on mine just fine for now and I have a set...

It depends on how you wire it up really I’ve only tested it so far but some of them you have to get a power management device aswell if you want to just hard wire it in, personally I just bought a 10W~ one I believe for around 30$ from Canadian tire it’s one square foot and going to be on the...

So I’ve decided to put in a bilge well... the old drain holes are way too small and not draining as well as I’d like them to and I’d like as much buoyancy as possible. I’m planning on running 3 pressure treated boards about eight feet long in two sections From the center console as far aft as...

Hard to see because it was so late when I took them but switch panel for bilge, lights and solar battery charger mounted temporarily until new one comes in the mail, all new finishing washers and hardware on vinyl and re stapled it tight again, wires all loomed and routed properly even wired a...

I’ll Definately pick one of those up I want to do this as thoroughly as possible I believe from the looks of it the transom crack was most likely the result of the prop hitting something and motor not being mounted tight enough or big enough washers, it definately did not look or sound or feel...

Yes I realize this and as I said previously I plan to rebuild the floor this Winter/spring. As for the transom there was no visual signs of rot on the transom it looks to have just cracked the glass slightly. I will however look into rebuilding the transom in the near future but I do appreciate...

Yes it is I haven’t tried to fire it up yet but I’ll keep you guys posted!

I’m also restoring an srv 180 I’m sure many things are the same feel free to check out my build thread and I’ll answer any questions I can :)

bilge painted and side walls striped completely and painted gas tank is out and flushed going to paint it tomorrow and reinstall. One washer on the engine mount seemed to be pressed too far into transom and had a small crack so doubled up with some oil treated plywood and some new big washers...

Thanks for the great recommendations I’ll Definately look into those, cheers.

You’re absolutely right after lifting up the carpet tonight and with the seats out the floor is Definately a bit soft in some spots. Looks like a good winter project :)

Motor wiring diagram here if you guys fancy a read. Different year everything checks out the same, enjoy

Well she’s all gutted. Tomorrow’s to do list: Replace side runner pieces with new trim to hold carpet down Remove carpet and clean properly Paint interior walls and bilge in white Remove gas tank flush and clean maybe even paint it Frame new rear seats and support area already removed all...

She still looks good matching or otherwise. I envy all of you that have a Bimini top I’m dreading sourcing one for mine. I’m debating getting one custom built through a friend but still $$ so hard to find original parts

man she looks so clean, very nice!

well Update time. Had my father look at the motor and we couldnt get it going so we had an acquaintance of his who’s been working on boat motors for longer than I’ve been alive look at it, seems it’s the pulse pack or possibly various other things. Gonna be quite a bill but it did turn over. I...

I just bought a 1970 srv 180 I’m so glad to see there’s other people out here who love this style boat too! And El Capitan yours looks immaculate!

Just bought a 1970 srv 180 with a 1969 115hp evinrude starflite. My goal is to restore her back to somewhat new condition in the next month or so. Lost of things to be done include: Starter is grounding itself but comps are good, One pinhole in hull needs patched, gas tank needs flushed from...
