    Hello from Maine

    Hello from Maine. I'm Lamar in Bridgton Me. I am retired and an avid fisherman. I've been a NTOWS member for several years and glad to be here on this site. From looking at it, we are all going to enjoy it. Thanks to Rich for all the hard work he has done all these years.

    Hello!

    Another from NTOWS on board. Raised in Al, but been in Me 14 years where the bassin' is wild. Early looks at the site looks good. Looks like you have done a lot of work on it. Glad to be on board.

    Lights on but switch is off????

    Pull the wire supplying power to the switch. If the light goes out, that would indicate the switch is defective. Good luck.

    Battery or Rectifier

    I would suspect your panel meter is reading voltage, not amperage. I would check the voltage at the battery with a volt-ohm meter and see if the panel meter is reading right. The charging system in your motor only supplies voltage to charge the battery and does not know what kind of...

    Shakedown cruise complete, let the season begin!

    I had mouse problems the first two years after I bought my boat. Then, someone told me to scatter moth balls all in the boat. Since then, mouse free. I put them in when I put the boat up for the winter.

    won't turn over

    The fuel gage pegging on 'E' may indicate battery is hooked up backwards. Check your battery connections as Bob G. suggested above. The starter motor would run backwards also, but would not engage the flywheel. Good luck.

    2000 Nitro 901 CDX horn quit working

    Did you check fuses at the fuse block, or an in-line fuse? With two things not working, you might be checking the right fuses. Good luck.

    Patching hole in my Tracker boat

    If the hole is accessible from the inside, you can get sealing washers at auto parts stores. Then, run a stainless steel bolt through it.....job complete.

    What size of trailer winch?

    Don't be surprised if a different winch won't work. Different shape or length of the cranking handle sometimes won't clear the bow. I have had this problem twice in the last ten years. Good luck.

    Toggle Switches

    Also make sure they are water proof. Good luck.

    water in boat

    You plugged the livewell outlet........did you plug the inlet? If you are lucky, it will be livewell plumbing leaking.

    update: voltage regulater

    I assume you are saying 18 volts on your dash meter. If so, have you checked the battery voltage with a volt-ohm meter at WOT? It's always possible your dash meter is wrong.

    Taking on water

    Have you tired putting plugs in the live well inlet and outlet? I had a small leak in the live well plumbing and the plugs verified it. Good luck.

    adding a 2nd starting battery

    I agree with Tee. I carry a pair of jumper cables all the time in case my starting battery lets me down. If you do add a second battery in parallel, you won't need a 2 bank charger as you will in effect be charging only one battery. Good luck.

    May be getting a boat next year

    I can't speak for the PT 175, but I have a PT185 that is in it's 11th season and so far, ZERO issues. Sure, some people have issues from time to time, some more serious than others, but for the money, you can't beat a Tracker. Good luck

    Stress Cracks in Pro Team 175

    That sounds like a question you need to ask Tracker........not depend on the opinions of the forum. They are the only ones that can speak with authority. If they agree, ask for it in writing. Good luck

    Fishing

    These thrill seekers are problems all over the country. That's why the smaller lakes here in Maine are such a pleasure as they are 5 or 7 Hp limited. Better than that.....about 90% of the time, I am the only boat on the lakes. Some of them are up to 200 acres. Good bass fishing in all of...
