    Tracker tournament V18?

    I was wondering if someone with a Tracker v18 could do me a favor. I am looking to get one, maybe, can someone close the swing hitch, turn the motor one side and give me the measurement from the swing hitch to the back of the motor. I have limited storage space and wondering if it will fit. Thanks.

    3m 5200

    I will be sealing a few transducer holes with 5200, nut, bolt and washers through aluminum hull. My question is, once I tighten the coated bolts, nuts and washers, can I take a razor blade to clean up the excess 5200 around the washers or will that ruin the seal? I am hoping I can clean it up a...

    Running power line and ground for Lowrance HDS

    I originally hooked up my HDS to the trolling motor battery (Because I put the HDS in the front) and I am having some problems with sonar interference. I have now found out that I should run the HDS off the cranking battery. The cranking battery is in the rear of the boat, about 17ft away...

    Tie down protector?

    I searched and did not find anything on here. My buddy and I have the same issue and we are looking for some ideas. Our tie down straps on the back of the boat go under the boat slightly and rub on the seam where the back and side of the boat meet. After trailering for awhile we have had two...

    Transom weight question.

    I have a 1989 Lund Deluxe 16ft boat that is seems to be in great condition structurally. On the limit sticker it states 40hp max. My question is the 40 hp max a limit based on weight or thrust? I have a 25hp Bigfoot 4 stroke (180pds) on there right now that probably out weighs most 40hp...

    First off thanks for all the help with my questions. Also, thanks to those who answered in a non-direct way, by using the search function helped. I am a new boat owner and was informed how helpful this site was, all I can say is they were right. I didn't know a great deal about many things...

    Mercury part options?

    I am looking for a OEM tilt and trim for my 2000 Mercury 25hp Bigfoot outboard. I have found this to be VERY expensive. I was wondering, do I have to buy that exact part number or are there different tilt and trim kits that I could buy to fit my application. The part number that is called for...

    Transom saver and motor tilt

    Hope this is where this goes. Hopefully I will explain my question well enough to understand. I just installed a transom saver frame mount and I am slightly concerned that a 1/4" bolt is the only thing supporting my 180pd Mercury outboard. I have two questions regarding my concern. First...

    Launch and retrieve.....rookie

    I have launched and retrieved with others and their boats, just not mine and alone. I feel confident getting the boat down the ramp, my question what tricks do you guys to get it off the trailer and tied to the dock on your own, without looking like a fool and not getting wet. :) When...
