When I'm on the flipping deck in my Tracker Pro16 aluminum bass boat it seems to really lean hard to whichever side I'm on at the time. Is this normal? Sometiimes it feels like I'm going to take a header right over the side.
I had the front deck off to run some wiring and noticed there is...
Need to extend one bank of cables on my Guest charger to the bow area of the boat. Guest says use 10 AWG cable. Minn Kota makes a set that are 12 AWG. The Minn Kota chargers for this cable extension are 10 AMP/5A per bank, just like the Guest 2611A. Don't see why the Minn Kota 15' extension...
I have access to a clean, structural foam 100 gallon "stock tank" that measures 31"W x 53"L x 25"D. This would completely submerse the circulation ports on my 2008 Mercury 30 HP 4-stroke EFI outboard.
We are on water restrictions out here and can ony use a water hose on a designated day of the...
I'm adding a socket receptacle (cigarette lighter type) for charging my iPhone while on the lake. I use the Navionics iPhone USA Lakes app & the Cabela's Recon Fish app, and they use a lot of the iPhone battery due to the map graphics and all.
The socket I purchased is marine grade and the 8"...
I have a 2009 tracker Pro16 ModV bass boat. I'd really like to buld in a small cooler. Has anyone done anything like this or have any ideas? I had thought about adding it in the open area of the cockpit just in front of the livewell deck area. It would also double as a small step onto the deck...
I'm about to drain and replace my lower unit lubricant for the first time. I've never done it before....yes fellas...I am a maintenance virgin...pure and innocent...so please.....be gentle.....
I read where you are supposed to fill the lower unit from the bottom plug hole. But my question is...
Whenever we move around in our 16 foot aluminum bass boat, it feels like it's gonna throw you overboard. On the front or back fishing decks, just bending over to change rods while sitting in the pedestal seats does this. I know tinnies are lighter and all but is this normal? I don't dare try...
I had listed these things based on my experience in another thread when someone asked about buying a first time boat. Maybe those of us that have crossed over into the dark side and purchased an older used boat at one time, whether it was a good experience/purchase or a bad one, can create a...
It seems as we venture out onto the inland lakes of Texas, the ones not on the verge of drying up due to the drought, we are seeing more and more people ignoring the "rules of the water". By that I mean, no wake in a posted no wake zone, slowing down and avoiding a downed skier or wakeboarder...
I have 3 month old Tracker Pro 16 with a Mercury 30 HP EFI 4 stroke that has approximately 20 hrs on it. I noticed a small amount of engine oil on my garage floor & on the lower unit cowling & transom saver after I took delivery of the boat & outboard. I removed the dipstick to check the oil...
My Tracker came with a bow mount foot control trolling motor. The tm is great and works fine, but I find myself spending more time on the control pedal than fishing. Maybe I just haven't gotten the hang of it yet, but I'm seriously thinking of moving to a hand control bow mount tm. Then I can...
Our boat came with the clamshell style seats that were nice and well padded, but the backs were average height. These are fine for the bow and stern fishing seats but for the driver and passenger seats they made the old back sore after a while. I found some in the matching grey and red colors...
My boat is only 2 months old and I cringed everytime we put her in the slip on our recent vacation. We had stopped at a relative's place on the lake to visit and her rails got scarred up pretty good at their dock when the passing inconsiderates came flying by on their jet skis trying to see how...
I have installed a dual purpose cranking/deep cycle battery in my 16 foot aluminum Tracker. I have my engine cable (30 HP) attached for cranking it, and of course my trolling motor (46lb), as well as the boat accessory harness (powers the live well pump, bilge pump, nav lights, and fish...
I have 4 hours on new boat and outboard. Took it out couple of weeks ago for that period and following the Mercury break in procedure. Gonna get the other 6 hours break in on it this weekend. It's 16 foot Tracker Pro 16 bass boat with a 30 HP EFI.
When I'm running at 1/2, 3/4, and for the...
