Well that did the trick on solving my hard starting on the 175 Sport. I was back in Beaufort this weekend and put new distributor cap, rotor and spark plugs in. $25 total, that's all. Started right up. Weather was good enough that I gave it a good 1 hour test ride up and down the Beaufort River.
I know I gave this it's own thread... (posted that before I found my old thread here)... Figured i'd ask the other 180 owners as well...

Hey all I'm trying to add a 5th Carling Rocker to my switch panel for interior LEDS and I want it to match my other switches and work as OEM... My dash lights are a light blue almost aqua color... and I can't figure out if they are calling these Blue or Green? Any help would be appreciated. I am looking for an illuminated switch with the 3 finger grooves top and bottom on the actuator with the "aqua" light in one of the slots showing it's on and would preffer Cabin Lights or Courtesy Lights Verbage or logo on the actuator... Anyone know where I can buy this switch at a reasonable price? I think I need the V1DA (Thats what the others are). The V1D1 looks like the same switch to me but not sure... any help would be appreciated...
Does anyone use shore fuel as opposed to marina fuel? Regular gas station gas is $3.50/gal and marina gas is $5.00 (non-ethanol). If so, has anyone tried this http://www.goldeagle.com/products/product3CC6.aspx Anyone have trouble/issues with regular gas station gas? I don't plan on leaving the boat sitting for long periods of time. We take her out 1 - 2 times a week and store it dry and covered. 2005 180 Sport 3.0 L
My 175 is trailered and kept in the garage. I only fill up with shore gas and its all E10. I use Startron religiously. I don't winterize over the winter (doesn't get cold enough in coastal southern South Carolina). Over the winter the same full tank is mostly there for sometimes up to 6 months. I do start and run it on muffs when I am in South Carolina (if I can't take it on the water) at least once every 4-6 weeks. I do not have a water separator filter. Starts and runs well. I may have had the gas degrade on occasion but nothing I really noticed or concerned myself with.Does anyone use shore fuel as opposed to marina fuel?

That's perfect. I mostly use 93 octane (because the dealer I bought it from said to) and occasionally have put in as low as 89. Actually, I think I have a manual that came with my boat that says using 87 octane is just fine.Just called around and found a station not tooo far from me that has ethanol free gas for $4.00 a gallon. That's a dollar cheaper than the marina gas. I'll save $21 per fill-up
Carbureted. 3.0L MPI for Sea Ray didn't show up until the 2010 models as an option.Silly ?... is my engine fuel injected or carburetor? 05 180 Sport 3.0L. I fix people parts, not mechanical parts lol
As long as you burn it up within a few months you should be ok. Just make sure you use the good gas before you winterize.
the 6 cylinder owners like the High Five stainless steel prop. Dutchman tried it on our 4 cylinder version and didn't see any advantage of it. Otheres then commented that the lower torque of the 4 cylinder engine doesn't like the weight of the stainless steel props. I'll try to find the thread where that was discussed. I personally like the 3-blade stock aluminum prop on mine. I can get 6 adults on plane no problem. Although I don't do the wakeboarding thing, so no sure how that goes.Is there a better prop to use over the stock prop on my 99 180BR?
