I just redone ALL of the livewell plumbing on my 184 and had the same problem, the new pvc checkvalves are spring loaded and would not break over and release the overflow. So I replaced the pvc...

Use a Yamaha thrust washer but cut the flange off of the back of it so it doesn't contact the prop shaft seal. Use basic Mercury stuff on the other side. I'm running a 23M on my Merc, works like a...

I used Boat Life caulk on mine.

I can **carefully** fit a 7'6" in my 184

Amen to this!

Something is definitely off in the motor area. You should be spinning a 21p right past the 6K mark easy. My 91 184 with a Merc 150 and a 23p will run 63 on the gps at 6100 rpm.

I'm trying to decide how I'm going to mount a Helix7 on the front of my 184 and need some inspiration from the Champion folks.

If it's an old school Champ get Hubbells from Grainger.

I replace mine with 40 pounders from a local auto parts store. They work great.

Ditto on the Johnson. Mine just got 5 shiny new ones.

My boat has to stay outside and I'm in central Alabama so it gets sun and 100 degrees and freezing rain/snow.

I picked up a quart of Royco 756 at my local airport

I'm replacing all the pumps and plumbing on my 184 and I've decided to add a livewell pump-out by teeing into the line between the livewell drain and the flow-rite valve and adding an extra pump...no...

Love it!

I'm replacing all the pumps and plumbing on my '91 184. There is a check valve on the live well overflow. I understand from an older thread here that the newer boats omitted these. Are they really...

I'm replacing all of my old pumps and plumbing on the 184. The old Mayfair pumps had plastic brackets attached to the stringer. I'm replacing them with Johnson cartridge pumps. What's the best way to...

I'm replacing my livewell intake, drain, and overflow fittings. I have some Boatlife Life Caulk but I was thinking about using 4200 or 5200. What say the experts here?

True this^ sonnyvan. Both of my bilge pumps, my livewell pump-in, and my recirc pump is accessible by removing the batteries and the false floor that I just remade.

Regarding the actuator, not the valve, are the ones in the older Champs made by Flow-Rite? The lever on mine is inset and is mounted with three screws but all of the current Flow-Rite actuators are...

ChampionMan how do you like the NOCO charger? I'd like to have a three bank.

Here's the layout I'm thinking about going with. It puts the weight as far back as possible.

I sent you a message sir

Charger on the lid? I haven't thought of that possibility, can you post a pic?

Here you go sir. The long portion of the tank faces the bow. This is the new board I've just finished making

Does anyone know how the batteries/charger/oil tank were originally arranged in a 184? I have the single U shaped fuel tank.
