Are you referring to the thread on transducer mounting? If so, that is a completely different thread/question.

Tracker has eliminated all wood (except for decks) in Deep V, Mod Deep V, and Jon boat models... and are ALL welded. Not sure when this started. I consider Tracker a well designed and well built boat...especially for the price....that's why I purchased a new one...

I just noticed...that G3 is new too! Did you add the external filter or did it come pre rigged with it?

For a minute there, after reading title, I thought maybe it was your new toon! Good thing you had the external fuel filter/water separator. Boat issues, especially engine and leaks, are the worst IMO! All things can be repaired. Glad you repaired quickly and all is well. I have thought of...

Your 50hp is probably carbureted...I believe Honda 50s were carbed to just a few years ago

I agree on the second house battery. However, my rear starting battery compartment on has enough space for one battery or I would have added a second house battery.

I'm debating between the NOCO 50 and 75. 50 is 1500 amps and is 4"x9"x5" 75 is 2000 amps and is 7"x4"x12" The 75 foot print is much larger. Space on a small boat is a premium.

My new 2023 Mercury 60hp 4 Stroke EFI does have the emergency pull start rope under the cowling. However, below is what is written in manual. "Emergency Starting If the starter system fails, use the spare starter rope (provided) and follow procedure. NOTE: EFI models ‐ The engine must have a...

Which model / size (amps) did you go with?

Boating / fishing at night can be challenging, as others have described. I've sailed (many different sailboats 20'-30' in length) at night on the ocean. I frequently sailed from San Pedro, CA to Catalina Island (SoCal) at night, but obviously the ocean is much larger than a lake and...

Since I have a single starting battery that also runs lights, bilge pump, livewell, 12V receptacle, and FF/Chartplotter. I was considering keeping a jump starter on board in case the battery is dead out on water. TM could get me back but it's battery could be nearly dead when I need it. NOCO's...

I'm using BoatBuckles and have been very satisfied with their ease of use and performance. I purchased a set of polyester protectors so metal makes no contact with hull. Only negative so far....I don't like that they have to be stored when not in use, but it's just a minor inconvenience. It...

Sonny, sorry to hear of your situation. I am glad no one was physically hurt by the storm. As already mentioned, kudos to you for talking it in stride and getting to repairs ASAP. May you and your family Stay Safe!

I recently purchased a new '23 Tracker PG V16 SC. Heck, I thought $27K OTD was high! I understand depreciation very well. I plan to keep my boat for many, many years. It's NOT a financial investment; it's an investment in personal enjoyment, ease of use, reliability, and FUN! I saved and...

SoCal temps in the high 90s-low 100s since June. These temps are almost everyday. It’s desert temps, so mostly dry heat, although we have had some high humidity in the last few weeks. Humidity is the worse! Go out at 7am and off lake by 12pm. Looking forward to Fall and cooler temps.

Your surroundings look amazing! That is as a chill as it gets! No wonder you purchased a 'toon!

I can relate to all boats....older, well used, show pieces, and beaters. I purchased my first new boat, a Pro Line 22 WAC back in 1998. Great boat and fished saltwater for several years. All other boats (except for my current new one) were 10-30 years old, but well maintained. Owned 10-15...
