Scott,

Sorry to hear of your problems...the PT175 is a great boat and one of Tracker's top sellers. It sounds like nearly every one of your problems stem from the dealer not properly preparing (rigging) the boat prior to you picking it up. Most of those items should have been tested and checked by the dealer...there is no excuse for shoddy workmanship and it sounds like that's what you got.

He is correct about the Transducer...that is the only model Tracker mounts that way, but you can get to the nuts from the back hatch, easy to replace.



If your dealer has not made things with you, I would suggest an e-mail to Tracker informing them of how this dealer rigged your boat,(and remember, it's not Tracker's fault) and then search for a good, reputable dealer for any future service work.

U are right about the rigging it was bad!!!! I do love this boat but i did pay far a new one not used,one would not think all this would happen to a new boat!!! They fixed it evey single time i toke it back,but 150miles round trip was hard to do all them times. Witch was 300 miles far each time that i had to take it far repairs take there then leave it then come back and pic it up.What a mess,i do not drive that far to fish.I bought it at the bass pro shop it NC.I complained about it and was told they would give me a gift card far all my truble but when i got there they said what gift card!!! SO NO GIFT CARD So dose anyone know why the time want work on rthe live well?
