Thanks for the replies, guys. I think I am going to go the Ebasicpower route. Happy Boating!
Hi all. After a summer of the X-18 running pretty much trouble free I had an electrical fire while running on Wednesday. Luckily I was within 100' of the house and was able to get it back on the...
I had the same intermittent starting issue last year. Long story short, it was resolved when I changed out my battery cables. Cleaning the terminals, rebuilding the starter solenoid, replacing the...

Thanks, HC, I didn't think of that. It'll give me a chance to use my cut-off tool that usually just collects dust!
Spoke with a local marine mechanic today. He thinks the end of the cable may be boogered up and suggested cutting it off, then trying to get it to feed out.
Thats what I thought, too. But the steering wheel has some type of stop inside it, which prevents it from spitting the cable all the way out...
Hi Gang, I'm having a hard time removing the steering cable from the helm of my X-18. There must be a catch or bolt I'm missing. I've attached a picture, though not of the best quality. Thanks in...

I'm lucky that we have a house that's just down the river from The Grinch. Just an absolutely beautiful machine, with wonderful owners who I enjoy the company of very much. Whether there there with...
I should buy it...sequential # his and hers boats! Except my wife also likes the Cig 20 that Pier 57 has for sale...

Happy Easter. Please send me an email: KvnSnow@gmail.com so we can discuss payment options and other stuff. I need a pair for my 383 powered X-18. My older daughter enjoys the thunder,...
I thought I recognized it, Bill. Its the sister ship to mine - DMR181360576X. I remember talking about it before. Funny, it's located less than 20 miles from me...
Advertised as all original, light blue...$9800.
You don't see a lot of X's up for sale. I love mine!

Thanks for all the great recommendations, I'm heading up this morning and have full confidence that I'll be able to figure it out because of your help. I'll let you all know what I find.
I'm having some issues with the starter on my 76 X-18. For the past few weeks, the starter would only engage occasionally when trying to start it, like once every 2 or 3 times, regardless of hot or...
Im having the same exact problem with my Holley 650 on my X-18...same rpm range. And its definitely not electrical...changed out all that you have PLUS the ignition box (had one lying around). We're...
yes, theres a knob that screws into the splined shaft that pulls out to give throttle only.
Pipnit, thanks for the reply. The closet thing I can find that resembles it is this...

HI gang...I'm trying to source a replacement shifter handle for my 76 X-18 and having a hard time identifying what model I have. I believe it to be Morse and original to my boat. It has a threaded...
Sounds awesome! The X18's are great boats...I can't wait to get to Maine next weekend for one last ride in mine for the season, and do a little leaf-peeping from the lake!
That's awesome info, Matty! How did you know all of this regarding this X? Do you have a list from Donzi of which X's came with what options and so on?
Thanks for the info, Bill. I'd love to see some more pic's of Mikes boat in the future, especially the engine compartment. Give him my best and I wish him well with his X.

I'd love to hear a little more about this X. I also have a '76 X-18, HID DMR181360576. Similar acquisition story. It was also from the second owner of the boat, with the original rocket trailer as...
