I finally got my front deck carpeted and installed. I used 3/4" plywood and 2x4's. The extra weight helped my boat ride a little better in choppy water so far. Adding that deck is like having a different boat. I still have a couple little things to do still but it is fishable. You can't see it...

I'm fishing an upcoming bass tournament out of my 2014 Tracker Topper 15 that has a factory live well in the front bench. I have to have a working aerator in my live well in my boat. I posted pictures below of the two that I'm looking at. Do you guys think the first aerator pictured will be...

So I have had my boat for a year now. I finally started working on my front deck. I decided to leave an open space between my deck and front bench for my tackle box, trolling motor battery and maybe an ice chest just to free up some floor space in the rest of the boat. I still need to cut...

Is there anything you can do get get a flat bottom Tin to ride a little better in light chop about 1 ft or less? I have. 2014 tracker Topper 15 with a 2014 20 hp Merc tiller handle. It rides great in the creeks. I realize a flat bottom is not going to ride smooth like a v hull. I'm just...

I have a Tracker Topper 15 that I bought back in March. I took it to Bass Proshops where I bought the boat. They told me that I owe $63 diagnostic fee. I told them this should be covered under warranty. They said if it needed parts it would have been covered but I still have to pay the...

I haven't fished in a Bass tournament in years. I no longer have a bass boat. I have a 15 Tracker Topper with a 20 hp with a livewell. I think the main requirement for a tournament is having an aeriated livewell to keep fish alive which I have. I was thinking of entering a local tournament not a...

So I got my new deep finder with gps installed and my top speed is 23 mph with me and gear. My boat is a 2014 with a 2014 Mercury 20 hp 4 stroke. I have only had the boat a couple months and have only done a few small mods. I just rigged it up for fishing, trolling motor, seats and 2 depth...

I've read some post were guys are using 3M 5200 to mount a piece of cutting board to transom to mount transducer to. My question about the 3M 5200 is that it says use within 24 hours after puncturing the inner seal on tube. I have a tube that I opened a couple months ago and has been sealed with...

I'm looking at getting a new boat & motor and I'm trying to decide between the 15 hp & 20 hp. I looked on Mercury website and compared them. The only differences are hp and full throttle rpm. The 15 hp rpm is 5000 - 60000 and the 20 hp rpm is 5400 - 6100. Other than that all others specs are the...

Hey guys, I'm looking at new boats and found the Tracker 1542 with 15 hp Merc 4 stroke new at BPS with trailer for about $4,500. That fits my budget ( I know most will say save and go bigger) but I want to buy now and it fits my budget. My question is how well will the 15 hp push this boat? I'm...

I'm looking at buy the new 2014 Grizzly 1648 SC with 20 hp Merc. I can't afford to go bigger with the motor, the 20 hp fits my budget. I would like to hear from somebody who has one of these boats with a 20 hp on it and what you think about it. I'm upgrading from a 14x36 with a 9.9 hp.

Tomorrow I'm going to look at a 1999 Bass Tracker Pro 165 with a 1999 Force 40 hp. It is at a dealer. I would like some feedback from someone who has owned a Force and from others. I had a friend said to stay away from Force. It seems like a good price for the boat. Can you still get parts for...

I'm thinking about buying a brand new motor for my 14x36 boat. It currently has a 9.9 hp that I'm tired of working on. Has not run right since I've had. I want a new 4 stroke with electric start. I'm thinking about buying a 15 hp instead of a 9.9 hp because maybe next year I can get a 48 inch...

My motor is a 1974 Johnson 9.9 hp. It quit running and I can't get it started. I don't have a spark tester so I pulled spark plugs one at a time with them connected held them with pliers close to block while my wife pulled starter rope and both had spark. (It was at night) I rebuilt the carb and...

I have a 1974 Johnson 9.9 hp. I cranked it yesterday it ran for a few minutes then it quite. I could not get it started again. I pulled the gas line off the carb that comes from full pump. I pumped the primer bulb and it squirted gas out of this gas line. I pulled the pull rope and a little gas...

I have a 1974 Johnson 9.9 hp. I cranked it today in bucket of water and afterwards when I removed bucket I noticed that oil was coming out of the exhaust holes on both sides of lower unit. Tomorrow I'm going to check my lower unit oil. I'm thinking this is not a good sign. I would appreciate any...

I recently bought a boat with a tilt trailer. The hardware at the tilt point is missing, the previous owner had it tied down with a rope. I haven't looked at it very close yet. I'm just getting started on working on my trailer and I want to get the needed hardware. I have done some searches and...

I'm in the process of replacing the wood in the transom on my boat. I just boat this boat not long ago and have only had it in the water twice. The previous owner had raised the motor. I'm attaching pictures. Does it look like the height is ok or do I need to set motor back to normal height. The...

My 14' Ouachita has a live well in the center bench. It is a hassle stepping over it and doesn't leave me alot of floor space. I was thinking of removing it and then remounting it along the side running long ways instead of accross the boat. I was going to have the plug hole in floor of boat...

I tore the wood out of my transom today and found that the sleeve/hole that drain plug goes into has a hole in the top of it and is leaking water into my boat. I need some ideas for fixing it. I was thinking of using jb weld and then using goop coat it on top of that. I don't have away or know...
