    That's not the true 179V. It's the fish & Ski model. Same hull but different layout. I ran a 179V with 150 Suzuki for many years. It was a very good performing boat. Like others have stated...

    The console is not molded as part of the top cap. It can be removed with a few bolts. There may also be some sealer or adhesive to deal with.

    Still have the 18x2 also. Keep one at the lake and one at home for the river. I still enjoy the x2. It’s been a great boat.

    I have a Fortrex on a tr-186. Pedal fits fine. I believe the 18x2 tray is about the same size. I went from a MG to the Fortrex. I don't like the height of the mount and the button is on the wrong...

    I added a talon and went to 36volt troller on my 186. I gained speed also. I had to raise my engine to regain holeshot but the added stern weight eliminated any chine walk. The chine walk...

    You have to get the jack plate. You have the right prop. 6" plate and you'll see 60 when you get those rpm's closer to 5600.

    Not positive, but I believe brakes are not required in Illinois for boat trailers under 3000 lbs gross weight.

    You'll want a 6" plate for the 186. Not sure about the cable length requirement. Makes the pp/talon installation much easier also.

    Thanks for the help. It's the tank in the boat, not on the motor. The o-ring on the cap seems very hard so I may not have seated the cap perfectly. I also had the tank very full. I'm just going to...
