    Power Trim Issue

    I have a Mercury 40 ELPTO and the trim is acting up. It will raise up but then slowly drop back when above maybe 1/2 throttle. Works fine when going slow or when motor is off. Already checked power trim fluid and it was good. Any thoughts?

    Looking to purchase new prop for my 2002 DV-16 with a 40 ELPTO. I was curious to know what prop others with the same boat and motor are getting the best TOP SPEED from. I was told by Tracker that the boat called for a 10 3/8 x 14 prop. Before I buy a new/spare prop I thought I would get some...

    Tracker Pro DV-16

    I have a 2002 Tracker Pro DV-16. I would like to get one or two of the "bicycle" or "saddle seats" for the boat. Does anyone know if the existing high back seat post can be used or if a new post must be purchasesd? The seat posts that are on the boat now are quite thick as well. Thanks.
