I prefer plastic for corrosion reasons. I've used them for years and never had one crack or split. The metal ones are nice for nostalgia and keeping things original....but for practical purposes, IMO, plastic is preferred.

Purchased a NEW 2023 GMC 3500HD, 6.6L gas and 6 speed auto. Crew, 4x4, short bed, White, and a few packages. This truck was difficult to find...as I did not want a diesel, and I did not want the expensive options (ex. leather, sunroof, etc). The 2500 would have worked just fine, but this...

Sticking with gas. Update: Owner sold the camper the same day, just after I saw it. That’s ok. I found another one. He confirmed that he would honor the $30K price. Plus he’ll include the Torklift camper tie down brackets that are already on the truck. Again, 2016 F-250 XLT, 4x4, 6.2L gas...

I'm looking very closely at a 2016 F-250 4X4 Crew with 6.2L and 6 speed with 48K miles. Original owner who purchased new....very solid and reliable drivetrain. Found one that a guy is willing to include in a package deal with a pop up truck camper (same owner who also purchased it new) that I...

Just sold my beloved 2003 Ford F350 2WD, V10 with 8300o miles. Ran great and I took very good care of it. However it is 20 years old. But now that I'm retired I have an itch for a new or newer Truck....just like the new boat I recently purchased!! So, I am at a crossroads on my...

looking forward to reading your on the water results.....hours, speed, weight of boat, conditions...

Grub....how's that awesome toon doing! I bet you and your family are having all kinds of fun and making great memories! BTW...how's the Vessel View Mobil (VVM) been? I'm debating between adding the VVM and the Vessel View Link (Black Box).

Reached out to TimeUSB about warranty information.....here is their response to my questions: The seller answered your question on Timeusb 12V 100Ah Pro LiFePO4... View product You asked: "What is the warranty for the 12V 100ah Pro? Is warranty pro rated? How and where...

This has been a great informative thread for those interested in Lithium batts for our TMs. I am now considering Epoch, TimeUSB, and VMAX. I'll be running a MK Terrova 24V, 80# TM that states 56amp max draw. Tracker 16' SC (60hp) with common on board gear, troll with 1-3 people aboard, at...

I’m considering upgrading my 12v TM to a 24V Terrova. I was set on two 12V deep cycle batteries due to their relatively low cost and great dependability. Obviously they are about 65# each. What calculations did you use to determine that two 50ah lithiums are sufficient? I’ve read about...

Im considering a 24V Terrova so that data would be useful for me as well. Thanks!

I use small plastic (like ammo boxes) boxes that are waterproof. One box for first aid kit and one box for spare drain plug, small parts, and registration. One other box for other misc items.

Welcome Joshua! Nice boat and looks like it will be a fun project fixing her up. Sorry to hear of your injury and hope you are well soon so you can continue on your boat projects. Many people with much experience here on this forum and are always eager to help fellow members.

Decided, as DaleH pointed out, to install the washers to prevent scraping/damage to bracket from hex heads digging into the alum bracket. Although it doesn’t call for washers on Merc install procedures for this year / model motor, I’ll feel better once installed. It’s my OCD!! Since the motor...

My 60hp has individual holes.

I checked my friend's 2023 Suntracker Bass Buggy 18 with 75hp Merc....washers on all 4 bolts outside on transom bracket. Of course its not mounted to a transom, but that should not make a difference on transom bracket side.

I read somewhere years ago..... the bottom mounting bolts go from outside in, as they are underwater and threadless shaft of bolt is preferred with threads only inside of transom......to prevent water entering via threads.

There are brass/bronze nylocks on all 4 bolts. Two bolts go from inside transom, out, two go from outside, in.

I noticed on my new 2023 Tracker Pro Guide V16SC that the OB mounting bolts do not use washers on the outside Transom Bracket side. The inside (inside transom) uses a transom support plate at top with washers and large washers on bottom bolts. I looked at outside transom bracket mounting bolts...

Haha....I just looked at pic 4...it does!
