    Front Livewell

    It sounds like the livewell switch at the bow is turned on.

    Installing A Lowrance In The Front Of My Nitro.

    You should find a paired set (pink and black) in the bow harness.

    Back At The Site

    I have been absent the last few years, but have returned. I am a certified Tracker salesperson, but since I am also a certified Mercury technician, I spend my time working on rigs rather than selling them.

    Buying New Boat, Some Questions. 2016 Tracker 195txw

    We have been selling quite a few of these boats. The rod locker and livewell alone are reasons to own one, but the comfort and performance are outstanding. This boat was designed around the 150 4 stroke, and I have not seen one with anything but that engine. There is no place to install the...

    Info on the Minn Kota terrova

    I have an 80lb thrust 45" shaft on mine. The US2 and ipilot are must haves!

    How to build a Depth Sounder

    Heathkit did make a kit to build a flasher back in the '70s. I put one together and it did work.

    Opinion and info on Tournament V-18 help

    Sorry for the delay in responding, but my little retirement "fun" has turned into a full time position selling Trackers. I own a 2009 V18 with a 115 opti and could not be happier. I have ridden and driven many boats the last few years, and I would not trade my V18 for any of them (except if I...

    spitfire prop

    I have the same set up on a 2009 V18, and use a 19" Spitfire. It has great acceleration and does not blow out on turns. Top end remains at 46 gps.

    Boat Speed

    I get 45 -46 gps out of mine. I went to a 19" Spitfire prop, and, although the top end did not change much, the acceleration is much quicker.

    MK IPilot/Humminbird 898 HD SI question

    You will need the ipilot link. I have a Terrova, but I have a Lowrance HDS system, so I'm not able to use the ilink. By purchasing the US2 adapter, the 552 will work up front.

    Tracker Prop change

    I would consider a Spitfire prop. It is not stainless, but is a 4 blade prop made for aluminum boats. Same top end, but GREAT acceleration. Randy

    new pro v

    That is a very popular combination at the BPS where I work. It should be great in the lakes in your area. Good luck!!

    Mystery hose

    Sounds like the speedo hose.

    Starting the motor without muffs

    It is not an overheating problem, but one of a dry water pump impeller. It just takes a few seconds to damage the impeller without water.

    Minn Kota Terrova Mount

    I would keep the unit intact. The brains are in the head, but the steering motor, etc. all live in the base.

    Minn Kota Terrova Mount

    Anyone I take out in my boat decides that they NEED an ipilot. I have been selling more and more Terrovas with ipilot and us2 installed. The mount for the Terrova is actually quite solid and the stow and deploy are WAY better than the power drive.

    Bob G. what color should my oil be?

    While working in the marine department of the local BPS, I have been shocked at the number of people looking for cheap oil to feed their new optimaxes. The oil system and requirements of an opti are completely different from the oil injection of older motors. The DFI (brown in color) oil has...

    Seafoam / STP ?

    Actually the STP is not all that bad. Use on the rocks with a bit of lemon peel,

    Livewell

    Under some conditions, my livewell will fill faster than the overflow will let water out. Drifting with the wind at my stern will assure an overflow condition if I do not monitor water intake.
