I think I'm gonna design a box to fit in, accessible from the top for Plano boxes (lift the seat) and drawers that will slide out under the bar.

The whole point is I wanted to just take it off and turn it around, reuse bolts, holes everything. Can't be done.

Here's where I m. I called a GW dealer and talked to the Service Mgr. who told me it's either a 1/4" sheet metal screw that's just screwed into the deck, or a 1/4" bolt with an insert in the deck. I tried removing one, would not budge ,was afraid I would snap the head. At this point I...

Magma makes a model that utilizes a clip in arrangement , I hang it over the transom on starboard side of the engine. I never use the corner seats. https://magmaproducts.com/products/econo-mate-bait-fillet-table

I am not taking it off regardless. It would be foolish to loosen without knowing the outcome first.

My 180 is 2004, crossbar is in the rear. I called Grady but they were no help, said they couldn't be sure on a 20 year old boat.

If I remove the screw and the nut drops off under the deck I'm screwed. Better to ask first.

No one? I know at least one of you has removed the seat, little help?

Mike, what batteries are you running it off, boat or aux? pics from everybody please.

It's held to the down by 4 bolts that go through curved washers, through the pipe and into the deck. I want to know what happens when they enter the deck? Are there captive nuts? Does it just screw into the subdeck (read plywood)? I'd like to flip the entire seat 180˚ around to be able to...

I needed a cushion for my 180 and used Tim Kickliter NautiUpholstery LLC 813-918-0321 customboatcushionsintampafl.com He did excellent work and about 1/2 the price of the local places I tried. Fast turnaround too.

The sign states the engines are from 2012. It was repowered and then the owners situation changed, just wasn't used. That what I was told.

Mine is a 2004. I caught it in time, had to have it cleaned out and glassed over.

Was never a big fan, just wasn't impressed by the cosmetics. But when I had a chance to get a good deal on my 180 I took it and dove right in. I was certainly surprised to discover all the transom issues and had to have some work done on mine before splashing it for the first time. I like my...

Did Sailfish have motor brackets from the factory? If so do they eliminate transom/bangplate problems?
