Took my boat out for its maiden voyage and nearly sunk it. Can that much water come in through the bilge holes? I did not replace the old hoses as they were under the foam. I have the new bilge but am not sure how to get to hoses under the foam. Will I have to remove it all?
Well I finished redoing the bass tracker and took it out for the first time. Remembered to put the plug in and pulled out into lake. Within an hour had water coming throught the floor boards. Pulled it out of the lake and emptied it. Put plug back in and ran water under the deck. The only place...
Completed my Bass Tracker now I need to have an officer verify my hull number on the boat to register it. Where are they on basstrackers? Not on coast guard plate so where?

Got a 35 hp Mercury with an oil pump that mixes the oil with the gas in proper ratios I assume. Can I remove the oil pump and just mix the oil and gas or should I try to find a replacement oil pump? I have not been able to locate a pump on this site, if I should replace the pump could someone...
Found a Bass Tracker Pro 16 for $500. I was going to buy a boat and finance it but decided in this economy it would be better to take the money I had and redo an older boat. We found the boat by accident when we were asking directions to a local boat dealership. My friends Uncle knew about the...
I just purchased a bass tracker that has a 35 HP merc oil injection engine on it. The boat has not been run in several years. The motor did crank when I put a battery to it. The steering system is frozen. I would appreciate any recommnedations on what to do to get it in running condition. Thanks:D
