Did you pull the guts (element and wiring) out of your antenna? I broke mine at the base and pull the guts out on a tree branch as well. I was able to repair it with some work and have not lost any noticeable functionality in my antenna. It is about three inches short which would (theoretically)...

Thank you, I’ll give that a try. I also want to feel the freedom of movement without the motor linkage hooked up. I’m hoping that the greasing will solve my issue. Thank you again.

I greased up the slide at the motor via the zerk fittings last month. My concern is that it was not consistent. We basically went in a straight line for about an hour then once we started maneuvering looking for fish it acted up three or four time. Then magically, it was fine for the rest of the...

All, I have an ‘92 1801. While I was out the other day my steering started sticking in one direction. If I went the opposite direction it turned fine, however, the sticking was intermittent. It also only acted up at the beginning of my trip. I have not had any issues with the steering before, I...

Don’t forget to stow it before you trailer your boat anywhere. Sounds common sense, but sometimes sense isn’t so common.

Offduty, I have an 1801 CC with a Shakespeare 5400-TX Galaxy Little Giant. Mine is mounted on my railing around my console (don’t have a T-Top). I’ve gotten 50+ miles of range with it. Like most antennas I’ve seen, you’ll need to run the cable to your radio then terminate the UHF (yes, sounds...

Permatrim helps a ton and knocks down on porpoising when running into the swell. Inexpensive way to smooth out the ride on the 1801s. As for wet riding, I just move my pax around and adjust my speeds. Sometimes there’s no way around it if the seas don’t play fair (which they don’t often).

I need a new boat cover for my 1801. It doesn't have a t-top on it, so that will not be an issue. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you. Tight Lines, Eric

Gonna run new fuel lines (main line, fill line, vent line) on Friday in my 1801. I've already got all the hoses, just need to get new hose clamps and some cord to pull with. Seems pretty simple, but this is my first time doing this. I think the biggest thing I am concerned with is fitting the...

I've got a 15 x 17 Yamaha prop on mine and it jumps up pretty quickly. The old one was a 16 pitch and it was slower, but not horrible. If you've got a couple of grown men with you, you'll want them to stand a little forward of the console, but it's not a big deal. Eric

Have not had a chance to work on my boat. Been deployed since last August. I have been buying toys and having them shipped home for when I get back. My current rod holders are rusty and falling apart, hence the reason I want to change them out. I cannot wait to get back on the water in something...

Poge, Awesome, that was exactly what I was looking for. I'll work on that once I get back home. Thank you for the gouge! Eric

Happy New Year all, Was looking to replace my original fuel sending unit on my 1801 ith one from WEMA USA, but I am unsure what the length I need to get. Have any of you bought one from WEMA USA or any other after market sender out there before? My reason is that my sender now will read full...

Thank you Capt Kevin. I appreciate it! Tight lines!!!

Doing some parts shopping for my 1801 while I am on deployment :cry: Anybody know the degree angle of the port and starboard rod holders that come stock with the 1801s? Thank you. Eric
