    New 175 TXW TE

    Larry, the anchor light pole is 58”, and won’t go in any of the compartments even cross ways. It doesn’t need to be that long, I’m wondering if they gave me the wrong length shaft. Also, there are no clips to hold in a light in any compartment. Chuck

    New 175 TXW TE

    Thanks Larry. I’ll check the rod boxes for clips tomorrow when I go out to my shop. If my old memory serves me ok the light post is to long to fit that way but will check again. I have checked the plumbing and will do that again when I’m back in the water. Will post what I find.

    fish and ski

    I sold my 2016 Z7 Sport last season and bought a Sun Tracker 22 RF XP3. The Z7 has a 150 ho 4s Merc and ran great. It was only rated for 5 people even though it could carry more. It ran nicely in a chop but banged a little crossing a wakeboarding boat wake. Good to fish out of and a Bimini for...

    New 175 TXW TE

    Just picked up a 2021 175 TXW TE with the 75 Merc. I’ve had 2 Nitros, one back in the late ‘80s and just sold my Z7 Sport last July. Took out the 175 over the weekend and was really impressed with the ride, storage and fishability. I’m at 4,500’ and it got right up on step and cruised around...

    Tracker Pro-Guide V175 Combo Review/Comments

    Well I finally did it and bought a 6hp Nissan kicker linked to my Mercury steering for trolling. While the Minnkota with iPilot was great in calmer water, in a chop it was out as much as in the water. Also installed a couple of Cannon electric downriggers. It's been tough getting the bass...

    Tracker Pro Guide 17 moving batteries?

    I have a 2012 Pro-Guide V-175 and the trolling batteries are mounted up front below the deck just in front of the windshield line. This was down at the factory and so far it's a non-issue as far as beating them in a chop.

    Buying a hand gun

    Be very careful about having a handgun in CA. That state is nuts when it comes to gun laws and law abiding citizens. Up until recently the first time you got busted for unlawful concealed carry (and that can include your RV or car unless it is properly locked up etc., essentially useless) it...

    SmartCraft Gauge

    I have a 2012 Tracker Pro-Guide V175 Combo with a Mercury 115 EFI 4S. The harness on the boat to the gauge is a Merc harness. I had the SC1000 installed by a local Mercury dealer, the gauge and installation was somewhere in the $600 range. As dchance said, I think it's a good investment, lots...

    Tracker Pro-Guide V175 Combo Review/Comments

    Thanks for the comments fatrap. Where I am fishing now (NorCal High Sierra) the lakes aren't big enough to have a no start on the big motor create a getting home problem. I can see where the chop could become one. I have purchased a trolling plate for the 115 as it doesn't quite get slow...
