I would recommend Larry Hauser hands down. Most active full time guide on Stick Marsh I would venture to say.

Well, I replaced the female connection and TM works fine now. So that must have been the problem.
Having a bit of an issue with the fuel gauge now. Can someone verify the port and starboard tank...
I will give this a try. I did check the wires on the back of the female plug and they seem tight. Will disassemble the male plug and check those wires. The plug is the original Ranger style plug with...
Found a home for the 1995 Champion 181. Gentleman came all the way from Ontario Canada to Florida for the boat. But it was very nice.
I just had issues getting up and between the consoles due to my...
Well, I found a 1988 Nitro in need of work, but it was in Ohio. So I passed on that long drive.
Then this past week I ran up on a 1988 Ranger 390V w/ 1989 Yamaha ProV 150 with 1994 RangerTrail. So I...
Not sure whats up with that Lea. Its a nice looking Champion. Its listed under Bass Boats for Sale as the group. I am not real familiar with how Facebook works.

I am on a quest to find a 19 or 20' Nitro made in Longview,Tx by Allen Stinson owner of Nitro Marine.

Any leads would be greatly appreciated. Stripped to...

I am looking for the replacement parts number for an original single axle (Bearings, Race and Seal) if anyone has it.
Would be greatly appreciated. And where I can order it from.

If my 181 is listed on Craigslist in Florida can I link to it here within guidelines?
I updated my initial post and have put buying the hydraulic steering on hold for the moment. I suspect that the issue is in the motor tubes and dried grease.
I am going to see about getting the...
I have another follow-up question now that I know I can go with the SeaStar hydraulic steering without jack plate.
How would someone suggest removing the cables? The only way I can see is to take...
I really appreciate you chiming in as I didn't want to go back with Teleflex cables as it would have been a huge pain in the butt to include removing the motor.
Thanks
I tagged on to another members thread about steering, but I figured I might get some information
on my own thread. My question is this. Has anyone mounted SeaStar hydraulic steering on a 181?
My...
As has been mentioned, I am also in the same situation as the OP. I have been reading alot about the Teleflex SeaStar and BayStar hydraulic steering. My 181 has
dual cable steering and I am...
Well, I sure would like to get a price like your referring to. Anyway of emailing a copy of your receipt?
When I mentioned Ebay the CS guy Shawn said they dont price match ebay sellers.
That seems like a very good price, but there is one snag. I called Jamestown to order the same set of components and the price quoted was $1610.38.
Could you give me the persons name you dealt...
Bruce', I am at the same crossroads that Wayneo84 is. By critera of the 181 having dual cable steering it requires a SeaStar and they are like
$1050 or so. Could you enlighten me as to where I could...
update:
Had to replace the two switch boxes. Had intermittant lose of spark in 1-3-5 cyl. Replaced both per mechanic recommendation.
Runs like it should now.
I do have a question of those who...
I totally agree with you on the ride. I bought the same boat in Blue/Silver back in January and only had it out a few times, but it takes the chop like a pro.

Well, I did pull and check the plugs and they all were Ok with some oil residue on port side center plug. Then I ran compression check. This is where it begins to get
