The 98 is actually an 1800 not an 1801. I've got the 98 and it has a 115 FICHT. WOT is 32. If I could repower I'd max out with a 150.

FishFactory - do you have any pics of your old ride? I've got a 98 and I am thinking about a hard top. flydoc - congrats. I hope that the deal works out for you. She is a VERY forgiving hull.

Thanks guys. Service manual will be on my X-Mas list. Here is a little more info. The motor trimmed up very slowly and then started to work at the normal speed after that. I trimmed up and down in the lot before my crew arrived. With the motor in the up position, I backed down the ramp and tried...

6am at the ramp yesterday. Motor trims up then will not trim down. Both switches are useless. Batteries are only two seasons old and were showing 12+ volts. Three guys stand there looking like idiots as we come to the realization that we will not be going out to chase Tuna after all. I am...

In a word... awesome :D I have only had one trip with it but it can hold bottom up to 300' at WOT.

I'd give up a nut before giving up Blue Crabs... especially softshells. Longest meal I ever had was 3.5 hours of crab in Ocean City. My wife will not let me live it down :lol:

Thanks, I figured that one out. I was having a problem with the Scotch Locks which I resolved by making an in-line splice and covering with shrink tubing. Why they have users splicing cables in a marine environment is beyond me. On another note, I just finished installing a P79 ducer. If you...

Thanks :)

Got an idea for a project. Will post step by step pics :D

Were you able to hook the GPS directly to the C80 or did you need to go through that expensive network thing? I am trying to patch together a system.

O.K.... I finally got off my butt and checked the prop. 3 blade aluminum 13 3/4 X 15 again, this is on a 98' 115 Johnson FICHT which should be hitting 6k and I am only getting 5.45k.

Thanks. Foamcore is not strong enough I would think, but I have never done glas work. That's the next thing that I have to figure out. Does anyone have suggested reading material? Google hasn't been much help. I was going to pick up West Systems book.

Now there is an idea. Being the type of guy who likes a project, I messed around with some foamcore and made a mock-up of what I'm looking for. I didn't take into account the inward pitch of the windshield so that had to come off to test the fit. The nex one will factor this in and adjust the...

That clears it up for me Dale, thanks. I'll post pics of the set-up once I get the rest of my parts in.

Thanks Dale as always :) Would you mind spelling this out for me though Dale. 101 version for a non gearhead :oops:

The one that Parker offers as an add-on isn't large enough to hold my new gadgets (screen is too big :wink: ). Any thoughts on where I could get a taller one with a similar footprint? Would making one be all that tough for someone who has no fiberglass experience? Marine lumber maybe? Many...

Dumb question. My new GPS/Sounder should be connected to a ground. Where would I find one on my 1800?

I've got the same issue and my vent is clean. It really only acts up when I get to the last 10 gallons or so.
