    Rally in Guntersville Sept 20-21???

    AirForce - Wife's birthday always takes first place!! And yes on the prices, every time we go I keep thinking i'll book the Hampton Inn, or Days Inn.... then I see the $70/night 2 beds and a lockable attached GARAGE and I can't say no! They are not the prettiest, fanciest or quietest rooms...

    Rally in Guntersville Sept 20-21???

    Gang - Eli and I have booked ourselves into creekstonelodge.com for 2 nights and will be fishing out of MudCreek looking for that elusive summer FROG bite and some HOGS on ledges and in the grass for a few days. If anyone is interested in coming up and joining us for some fun, dinner, and...

    Towing with a bass boat

    I have done it a few ways on my Tracker and Nitro boats: Option 1 - tow harness off the transom tie-down hooks, make sure you get a floating one to avoid what Toxic said, and be careful at take off each time to make sure it doesn't get caught in the prop. I did this on my Tracker 175 and for...

    grinding when staring

    Had similar problem this weekend, on mine the starter is shot, new one coming tomorrow. The only way I figured out what was wrong was to pull the cowl on the water (it worked for an hour then wouldn't crank over just grind), and watched what happened when it was trying to start. So if the boat...

    Adjustable seat poles?

    Kevin - I believe what you need is below, I have had these on my last 3 boats (Tracker, Nitro and Astro), They are screw in also so I don't remove when trailering as they are screwed down/locked in: http://www.basspro.com/SwivlEze-3/4&39;&39;-Lock-&39;N-Pin-Adjustable-Power-Pedestals/product/52435/

    Bob - Which Fuel Line '99 XR6?

    So (novice here) the fittings into the hull and motor, leave those as is, and just replace the fuel line/bulb with 3/8" Mercury fuel line with blue lettering? THANK YOU!!

    I followed Bob and others advice, did same in my Astro F/S earlier this year, made a great place to keep my worm bag under the extension also. Trep

    Opinion and info on Tournament V-18 help

    Gigahertz - Two thumbs up on "Coming from barely hitting 30, 39/40 loaded sounds really good."!! I moved from a Tracker 175 PC with a 40Merc (28mph to a Nitro 700lx with a 115 (55mph)!!! I really wanted a TV18 with the 115 back in 2006, but needed a Dual Console due to my tourney partner being...

    Hit a log, dont know the part name

    Is it this piece the Torque Tab? If so EASY and QUICK fix, no worries any marina/boat parts store or internet site carries them. Also, check the prop shaft for any wobble/movement just in case, and as well if you have the flo thru hub, take the prop off and ensure it didn't get cracked...

    Keelshield or Hambys

    I did the Keelshield on my '99 Nitro (I bought it in 2007), sold it in 2001 and used it all year round, not an issue and was easy to install and as far as I know still holding up 100% attached for the current owner. I had the dealer install a Keelshield as a requirement on my current fish/ski...

    New Member and new owner of 2013 Tracker Pro 175TF

    Charles - Welcome! I had the 2000 version of your boat (ProCrappie 175 with the 40 Merc), Used it for 5 years with my kids and friends, and loved it! I looked closely at your new boat in January, as well as the Deep V boats, and settled on a Fish/Ski as my kids are older now and really...

    Livewell for dummies

    If there isn't a Empty/Auto , then it sounds similar to my old Tracker, so to empty while on water, just pull the PVC tube, lay it down in the live well and it will drain partially, it won't drain completely as the back of the boat is lower in the water, some water will come UP the drain line...

    planing

    Get Tox, Bob and the other bright guys (and gals) the measurements he asked for, that will help a bunch in figuring out the solution. My current boat came with a Hydrofoil, I took it off, got the right prop, and hole shot is better, top speed is better, and cornering is MUCH better!! Trep

    Tracker Pro 175 4 stroke

    Just looked at the Tracker site, wonder if you mean the Tracker Pro Guide 175 (the Deep V model vs. the Pro Team 175 which is the bass boat/revolution hull style), if its the Pro Guide 175, disregard my comments above as it is rated to a 135 max HP. Trep
