I have a 2003 Bass Tracker PT185 whose time has come to get the carpet replaced, and I plan on DYI. I have viewed videos, photo's, write-ups, etc., but do have a few questions: 1. The front deck is wooden where the back deck is aluminum. The front deck has screws that hold the wood to the...

I am not crazy about drilling 8 holes in my boat, so I thought of mounting these via the cleats. Here is a mockup. The wood would be replaced with aluminum, or wood covered with carpet. Thoughts?

Hello. I've got a few attwood rod holders to use for crappie/striper/general fishing, and not sure where the best place to mount them. I have a 2003 Bass Tracker 185. Front Deck - wooden deck - Not sure if the gunwale gets in the way here, since the rod holder is about 6" tall Back Deck -...

I just had to replace the starter battery on my 2003 bass tracker pro 185,and bought a size 27, as I had recently replaced my trolling motor with a size 27. Problem is the new battery I just bought does not fit in the plastic tray. How important are the plastic trays? Right now the battery is...

My 2003 PT185 has an "accessory socket" near the driver's seat - you know, what you plug a phone charger adapter into. It isn't working when I plug in an adapter (12v to 5V to USB) to charge my cell phone or run my fishing light at 12V. I found the 2 wires that go to the socket disconnected...

Recently new boat to me, has batteries that are labeled "Econo Power". They are 2 new batteries (as of June 2017), each 12V, and have the extra smaller posts to wire up accessories. I assume they are relative junk, but they hold and a charge up fine. I don't believe they are Deep Cycle (but...

So, I have a new to me Tracker with a livewell. The livewell has screen (see picture) inside the livewell and it goes into one of the holes in the floor of the livewell. I used it for the first time the other day, and when I looked in the livewell after draining, there was quite a bit of crud...

Got a used motor that came with the boat, and it's my first time to refill the oil reservoir for the auto mix. I'm leaning towards quicksilver brand, but should I go with synthetic or conventional? Pros/Cons? Were motors in 2003 made to go with Synthetic? I have no idea what's in it at the...

I installed a new Helix 5si on my 2003 tracker 185 I can't get a depth reading above 9mph, and I would like to. I know I can't get side imaging to work at high speed. I mounted the transducer where the old one was (see pic) Thoughts?

I have a tracker 185 boat, and upgrading its 2003 graph with a new Helix 5 with DI, SI. The transducer is bigger than the old one, and before punching anymore holes in the transom (5 holes already for previous/current transducers), I was hoping someone has already installed a humminbird with SI...

Now to the forum, getting a tin boat soon for bass fishing in the Southwest. Came across a boat, but has this (see pictures) Triton boat. What causes this and is it really bad or slightly bad? Is it repairable at a reasonable cost https://www.dropbox.com/s/sqdu1jcau48o5i0/boat1.png...
