Jim, I am not sure about this device having [NMEA-1083], as I have installed a [NMEA-2000 network] on my boat I am purchasing this unit to make the most of my system including the gauge display.

I will investigate a little more to ck out if this Garmin has [NMEA-0183].

Thks,

Fred

ferdinando

I have the older Raymarine S-1000 Autopilot which is working perfectly and uses the older NMEA-0183 system which is connected to my Standard Horizon C 300 GPS which is also NMEA-0183. I want to upgrade my chart plotter with a Garmin Echo 94 SV which is NMEA-2000. What do I need to hook up the older ...

Back in 2008 I purchased a brand new 190 Montauk [with 115-HP] and quite frankly I almost cried the first time I took her out. Mind you I was 56-years-old and not a speed freak or skier. I only wanted to cruise and occasionally fish. I found this boat to be quite under-powered for my tastes. I sold ...

Butch:

I love the DR, beautiful place my favorite after PR,
Great food and a couple of other things....

ferdinando

Butch: I repowered in 2010 8 years ago, and as I mentioned if I don’t get my price I’ll keep it so either way I win although I really would like to get the 170! If I stay with the 190 I will have to look for a new trailer as mine is getting pretty worn out. My boating area in PR is on the Southern p...

ferdinando

Butch: I agree with your thinking on the newer Whalers although I have to confess that after attending the Miami Boat Show that I just fell in love all over again with the new Montauk 170. The new improvements at least for me put it over the top when I compare it with my 190. I feel that the interio...

Butch Will do my best to report on the Whaler offerings especially the two new Montauk models! Things are getting better down here slowly but surely. I am currently in Orlando dealing with my wife’s illness but I am taking two days off to see the boat show in Mia on Thurs & Fri. I will be wearin...

Any forum members going to the Miami Boat Show starting this Thursday?

I owned a 1985 15 SS and purchased a 12 Gal underseat fiberglass fuel tank that fit perfectly under the drivers seat. It was made by Pate Plastics in Miami, about $200 back in 85, unfortunately they went out of business when the ethanol fuel came out and screwed up their gas tanks. Sad!

ferdinando

I also have a 190 Montauk. I fish as much as possible, and my bimini has never gotten in my way to fish. Had I
had a T-Top I would have never been able to put my boat in my garage which would have caused me quite a problem during Maria. I’ll always stick to a bimini!

Thks Phil I’m ordering a Mantus rail clamp for my
H-3 camera and I want to make sure I get the correct size!

Thks Butch.......

Butch--Thank you for the kind words and concern. Yes, I was incommunicado and was without electricity for about 60 days--luckily just a week before the storm I had solar panels installed and they were not blow away. Basically I had about 90% electrical power for those 60 days. Luckily my Whaler was ...

Would anyone know the rail size on a 2008 Montauk 190?

Thanks and Happy New Year to all!

Fred

Now if Evinrude would only do the same thing on their smaller outboards instead of only having a choice of blue that would entice me to buy one as a kicker to match my white E-Tec. I really don't understand their marketing strategy on smaller outboards.

ferdinando

Thks Jim, there was no fault code displayed only the following msg on the I-Command Display, "Warning!!! Air Temp sensor, svc soon". That was it.

ferdinando

My I-Command gauge advised me that the Air Temp Sensor [on a 2010 E-TEC 150-HP] needs servicing soon. I purchased the part which arrived today. Is [installation] just a remove and replace the part? Or do I need to do any special procedures for the installation? Someone advised me that [the air tempe...

ferdinando

Just bought the same part a few weeks ago, Sue Lodel, Twin Cities, great service.

ferdinando

Whalerdog, I have the same problem on my 2008, if your solution works out some photos would go a long way, Thks.

ferdinando

One important thing with the horn don't let it get directly wet while washing! I've gone through 2 horns on mine, as long as I avoid water they work great!

Last weekend I was on my 190 in a small cove when this 170 enters with this beautiful shortened full bow rail. It was about 4 to 5 inches off the gunwale and I am sure it was a custom made job. It looked absolutely fantastic and made the boat look so sleek and racy. Unfortunately the gentleman did n...

I currently have a E-TEC 150, 2010 production-year, model E150DPXIS. As I've always been a fan of fuel meters, my current gauge just died, and has been discontinued. From what I have read the ICON Pro Gauge can give me fuel info and a bunch of other information. What would I need besides the gauge t...

Would anyone by any chance have a Northstar F-210 sender which works or was working and is willing to part with it? My sender froze up and my display unit just froze as it no longer receives fuel input. I tried searching the net but they don't make this unit anymore and the newer ones are over $300 ...

I purchased thr Igloo Sportsman 55 for my 190 and it fit like a glove. Even had the cushion redone in Whaler style which looks great. Cooler really retains ice for at least a couple of days without a problem, slightly taller than the stock cooler and worth the upgrade. I saw this cooler for the firs...

I second Butch's comments about the 190's inshore fishing abilities, however I have taken my 190 as far as 22 miles offshore trolling for Mahi-Mahi and Marlin with excellent results. I always try to keep the crew size to no more then 3 people which makes fishing comfortable. I also choose my offshor...

ferdinando

Ok Tedd, give me a couple of days to post till I get to the marina to take some shots. Fred

ferdinando

Butch, I really wish I was drinking the same water your drinking!!!!

ferdinando

I have an F-210 Northstar fuel monitor on my boat and it's a great help in knowing how much fuel is in the tank. My first 210 lasted five years, and, when I thought something was wrong with it and contacted Northstar, they sent me a new unit which I saved and installed a few months ago when the firs...

Well guys, as you all know, I have been pondering the down sizing of my boat for a while. I like the 15 as mentioned but my wife does not want to let go of the 19. So my basic problem is clean up, putting the cover on by myself, etc, etc. I don't have a trailering concern as the boat is kept at a ma...

ferdinando

I also installed a wash down pump on my 190. As I do not have the bait well pump or the thru hull pick up I ran a hose through the left side rear scupper with an L attachment and the hose runs straight down the transom. My pressure is great and no holes in the hull. I placed the pump under the rear ...

ferdinando

Great looking boat and it does look roomy enough. I have called my local BW dealer here in San Juan and asked for pricing for a new 150, $27,000 dollars which I find kind of steep. I am pretty sure I can get close to what I paid for my 190 in 2008 as my boat is a perfect 10 with a E-Tec 150 on the t...

ferdinando

Good luck Greg on your new boat, photos when you can!

ferdinando

I'm also in the same boat so to speak as you are, looking for an easier-to-maintain boat. My 190 is great, but it's a pain to properly keep up with all by myself. Good luck!

ferdinando

By the way I am really being convinced about down sizing by Butch and Greg, my next question for you 150 owners is can I purchase it without the baitwell in the back????? Takes up to much space and I don't use live bait for fishing! I absolutely hate my baitwell on my 190, always did, but I could no...

ferdinando

Butch Thks for the pointer, I'm exactly in my mid sixties and it's a bear to take the 190 out for a day and then get back and clean it down, it's starting to wear me down and getting it in the water by myself is also a pain. As I said I will sit it out for now but I'm pretty convinced that I will be...

ferdinando

I thought about the 170 but it's just a tad to heavy to tow with my wife's Rav-4. The reason for the down size is also to get rid of my pick up truck for the 190. I know going down to a 15 is iffy but it's mostly me alone and maybe my wife once in awhile. I was thinking I could use the boat a lot mo...

ferdinando

I currently own a Montauk 190 and I am seriously thinking of down sizing to a Montauk 150. It's a more manageable size for me to handle, easier to wash and tow. If I get up the nerve to sell the 190 I will definitely look into the 150, just have to convince the wifey that it's a good idea!

ferdinando

Afraid of hitting any wiring? I'd be scared s---less of drilling into the side of a perfectly good boat with such a narrow and solid gunwale. I'd rather attach a rod holder to the piping next to the seat then drill a hole in the side. And you have to drill at an angle which makes it more complicated...

ferdinando

Make's me almost want to trade my 190 back for my old 17, Larry's boat is simply stunning!!

ferdinando

Butch you are correct however when I fish I change out the 55 qt cooler for a 162 qt Igloo cooler. The 55 is perfect for me when I just go out for a day with the wife and maybe another couple. Works great for me and does hold the cold more then a regular Igloo.

ferdinando

Yes, no, yes!

ferdinando

John:

I will try and get a photo this weekend and see if I can post it as my computer skills are somewhat lacking.
Ref cost for the cushion, it was $75 bucks.

Fred

ferdinando

My Igloo cooler is great, as mentioned it's size is comparable to the standard 72 qt igloo that came with my 190. Coleman coolers do not hold the cold like an Igloo does. I have to make some minor adjustments so that my new Igloo will fit where my 72 qt cooler sat. Will be getting this done this wee...

I just purchased an Igloo 55-quart Sportsman cooler, which seems to be a very heavy duty cooler. I saw it for $399 at West Marine and bought it for $210 on Amazon. It almost looks like the same size cooler that my 190 came with from the factory. Has anybody experience with this cooler, good or bad? ...

Jon: I purchased a new 190 Montauk in 2008, my wife insisted that I purchase both the Sun Lounge and the rear seat, both items were close to $2000.00. To keep the peace I agreed which caused me to go over my boat budget by 2 grand. I have used both items only once, they now sit under my bed in plast...

I have purchased 3 new Whalers since 1985, a 15, 17 and my last one a Montauk 190. I have installed a Keelguard on each of my boats and would not leave the dock without one!

Skip: I still have my original trailer which came with my 2008 Montauk but I won't see my boat till next Friday. If you can hold on
till then I will forward the info to you. --Fred
