I’m planning on rewiring the entire boat after hunting season. So I think I will move it forward at that time.

I would need to extend live well plumbing that is part of the console. I removed the starboard side bolts tonight. It definitely comes loose and can be moved forward. However I discovered the hose/pipe for live well doesn’t have any slack. I need some couplings and hose clamps, plus a few feet...

I have an 1860 and my center console is bolted to two 1.5” angle on each side. Just remove bolts and I can slide the console forward. Besides the steering cable, of which I just happen to need a new one anyway, is there any other potential issues moving the console 1 ft forward? All the other...

Yeah it’s a cable with a spring around it. It actually “looks” good. I have two screws that release the casings. One going in and one coming out. When I grab the cable coming out, hold it, turn wheel with other hand, there is no slack at the wheel. So I’m guessing the cable/spring has stretched...

Not sure, but cable says Ultra Flex US. Says the length etc. Seems to be the Teleflex style. At the helm when I remove the tube protector, the end of cable moves about 4” before the motor starts turning.

Hello, I have about 4-5” of free play in my steering wheel. It is a cable not hydraulic. Any advice on how to reduce that?

I finally got a boat! :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO: The 9 year old boy is now 16, so I got a 2005 Lake Sport 1860 center console . Has a Yamaha F90 on it. Put it in the water today and ran 54 miles. Motor is so quiet I can barely hear it in no wake zones. It's pretty perfect for my...

Awesome job on center console! It’s been a good while, how did the forward position worked out?

That is interesting. I'm going to research the Gheenoes further. Might have to go see one these in person.

Really appreciate all the feedback fellas. Yeah the 1436 was really light. I'm a big ol' bear, so I was able to drag it and push it pretty easily, once I kicked the motor up out the water. For the overnight stuff, it is never more than 2 people. I've always been able to get all our gear in a...

What are you powering the 1648 with?

A few years ago I inherited a little 1436 Alweld jon boat with a 25hp Merc Tiller. I thought it was going to be perfect for exploring the Atchafalaya Basin, plus all the rivers and bayous in the gulf south area near my south Louisiana home. It was just fine if I was alone. However it was a...
