I'm taking my boat out onto the Raritan river this weekend and I'm curious about how bad it would be for my 80# terrova as it's brackish water and the terrova is designed for fresh water. I'm not sure if it would be very detrimental to the motor or only minor as it's not as salty as sea water...

Anyone familiar with the water in this area? I'm taking the boat there saturday, launching from the boat ramp at Donaldson park, haven't fished it yet, hoping to get some tips, will update this post saturday evening with any catches or lack there of.

hope this question wasn't asked in a previous thread, I tried searching but couldn't find one for the 1542. Has anyone installed or have seen float pods on a a tracker 1542 or any flat bottom 1542? Does it actually help and does the motor have enough clearance for turning? I've seen the beaver...

Hey all, I'm looking to safely extend the tongue on my trailer by another 2 feet if possible. The reason being is that all the boat ramps around here are shallow and my CR-V already rides low to the ground, I can't get enough of the boat in the water to launch properly without submerging my tail...

I'm looking to get an onboard charger as I'd like to keep my batteries in the boat instead of hauling them out to charge them every time, but I haven't used one before so I have some questions that I hope some of you can answer, hopefully their not silly questions. 1.) do I leave the charger's...

Anyone ever fish Lake Rathbun in Iowa? I ask because I will be in Iowa next week visiting the gf's family and we will be camping on the lake for 5 days, figured I'd check and see if anyone here has fished there before and knows what types of fish to expect/ tips on the lake.

So I got my 80# MK terrova this week and I'm trying to figure out the best place to mount it on the bow of my tracker 1542, the instructions say to mount it as close to the center line as possible but I've noticed that a large amount of builds on here have the TM mounted to one side or the other...

So the motor I got from my uncle for my 1542 is pretty rusty and has a good amount of corrosion/build up all over it, I've sanded and stripped that all down to the bare metal, bought marine outboard/inboard primer and matching paint. Problem is after 9 hours of drying the paint is dry to the...

[UPDATE] See page 3 for new progress on boat. Made some significant progress on my build this weekend, been slowly working on it over time, but it's 3/4's of the way done. Front shot of frame work. used 1 inch aluminum box tubing along with 1 1/2 inch aluminum L angle. Deck installed. it's...

So with my decking project started, I want to upgrade my current endura c2 55 to either a maxxum or a terrova, either way I'd like to go with the 80lbs 24v motor, I understand how to create a 24v system but unsure of what trolling motor plug I need, when searching for 24v plugs and receptacles I...

I'm planning on starting my decking and flooring project on my tracker 1542 next weekend, the only thing I haven't decided on is what thickness I need for the aluminum flooring and the decking. I'm building a deck from the mid bench to the front bench, and then a deck on the back bench. I have...

Not sure if this has been posted on here, but I saw this today and couldn't stop laughing. Q_BLggf-mqs *EDIT* nvm figured it out

so I figure this season I'm gonna give the rig a try, however I've been reading that you can't really use an average rod and reel with these rigs as the weight is too much and if you get snagged you're screwed, plus you're supposed to use at least 80lbs braid line. so what would be a decent rod...

So now that the weather has been weirdly nice for the last month here in NJ (usually under a lot of snow this time of year, it's been 55 for a few weeks), I'm getting ready to install my bilge pump, aerator, and fish finder, and I'm curious if I should get another battery. I currently have a...

as the topic states, anyone here fish in New Jersey at all? so, any recommendations on good places to fish? I ask because I got my tracker 1542 back in may, I've taken it to a few places, Carnegie lake, mercer county lake and Assunpink lake, but had almost no luck what so ever, out of the 9 or...

Hey all, so I got my first boat back in may this year, Tracker 1542, I've got a few projects lined up for it, currently working on a bow mount for my MK 55# transom TM, but onto the main topic, I picked up a Lowrance mark5x DSI fish finder today at my local dicks sporting goods for 1/2 the...
