    Mercury 60HP Shift/Throttle Adjustment

    The most difficult is when it's in gear and I try to shift out of gear into neutral. It's annoying and I feel like I'm going to break the shifter cause it's plastic. I don't know how to adjust tension on these cables. I was thinking about just replacing the cables (both shift and throttle)...

    "New" Guy! Matt

    Hey guys - My name is Matt. I came over from NTOWS and just wanted to introduce myself. I'm from NJ and own a 2003 Tracker PT175 with a 60HP Merc on the back. Looking forward to getting involved in this site!

    Mercury 60HP Shift/Throttle Adjustment

    I haven't tried to shift it with the motor off because I've read not to shift in and out of gear without the motor running. When I unhook the throttle cable it helps a little bit... Someone mentioned a preload adjustment. I have to try and find where that is!

    True WOT

    Your shop should be able to test and adjust your tach so it measures accurately.

    Wrong Prop

    If you are hitting 6500-7000 rpms (if your tach is accurate) - you'll need to go UP in pitch size... probably to a 16 pitch... that will put you in a nice rpm range. Here's why I think your tach is incorrect. If you got 24 mph at 6500 rpms with that motor and a 13 pitch prop - you are...

    Wrong Prop

    1st ensure your tach is accurate. My tracker tach was ALL over the place and not reliable... So I got a Smartcraft Gauge. THEN - i was able figure out my exact rpms/speed (reliable gps) and pick a prop accordingly.

    Fuel treatment

    I use Quickleen and Quickare in EVERY tank of gas... If I don't have access to both of them I use Startron and Marine Stabil.

    seafoam or lucus which is better

    I use Quickleen and Quickare in every tank of fuel on my Merc... I also put Quickstor in my fuel if I know it's going to be sitting for 2 weeks or more. I don't mess around with this ethanol crap...

    My new company launching soon.

    I'm curious about the face mask as well... My boat doesn't go that fast, but even 30mph freezes a face real quick at 30 degrees!

    Four Wheel or Two Wheel drive

    My opinion is 2wd isn't even an option for me. I'm sure 99% of the time (or more) I don't need 4wd. But if I get into a spot where I need it, I know I have it. Some of the ramps I use are dirt (mud if it rained recently) and can be shallow. Just my 2 cents. Go 4wd!

    MG light

    My suggestion is start saving for a new one!!! BUt I would suggest going with a Minn Kota - they don't make MG's like they used to (in my opinion).

    Tracker 175 - Mercury 60HP: Prop Advice

    Thanks Bob. My motor is a 60HP bigfoot model. From what I understand, the 14pitch isn't an option for the bigfoot? So i have a choice between the 13 or the 15. If I'm only turning 5250 with the current 15 p itch prop, do you think dropping to a 13 is a good or bad idea?
