Alright
So I have a 1998 fourwinns horizon 180...at least I believe it is..the person who sold it to me sold it as a 185 but the boat measures 18' 3" tip to tip with a 9'10" beam. It has no labelling on it besides fourwinns and horizon. I believe it is the RS model because these are the I/O right?
Anyways I bought it last summer it has been great..I guess I got lucky after hearing all the horror stories about newbies buying boats without even water testing!! haha. never again... anyways my VDO gauge cluster is failing and i have heard this is quite common. I have bought all new teleflex gauges but figuring out the wiring for this is quite difficult so I was just wondering if anyone has a wiring diagram. The motor is a 5.7 volvo penta GLI...o and can anyone answer why there is NO info on this motor around the internet??
O and does anyone else have this boat? it seems like I should be able to do over 50 but at 2000ft I have a hard time doing 48mph. This could just be the prop but even with my 21" on with 4 ppl in the boat i can just barely hit 4800-4900rpm which is only 44mph so I know i can't really get much more out of it.

If you have the sunsport seating with the VDO cluster, it's likely the RS, the RX (which I have) has the standard seating with individual gauges. Both were available with I/O

Also, the beam should be 8'. 9'10" is quite wide for an 18' boat :shock:

The 5.7 is a very large motor for that ride. I can run about 47mph with the 4.3, however I am nowhere near 2000 ft elevation.

Here are the specs for the RS: http://assets2.fourwinnsmarketing.com/past_product/specs//1998/04%20Horizon%20RS%20(p10-13).pdf

well according to both of these sites my boat doesn't exist... seems weird i'm starting to wonder if the 5.7 is aftermarket.. :?
the other thing is that i have the regular seating with the VDO cluster
