I got my Ipilot installed on my Riptide ST. That thing is amazing. Best 400 I have spent on the boat. The electronic anchor function alone is worth the price.

Anybody ever run a Turbo Hot Shot or a Stiletto Triad Stainless Prop? I'm still hunting performance with my 40HP Merc 4 stroke and am looking for some opinions. Do the smaller motors benefit from SS props for performance or is it just durability gains? Any help would be appreciated.

I've been pretty busy lately working on my boat. I've added Styx River Neo Mats, Smart Tabs, Autometer tach, custom rod holders for the rail system on my tracker, new switch panel, etc. I also added extra pedestal bases in the back bench so I could move the seats for driver/passenger riding...

Well I found out that even though my motor supports smartcraft and one day when business is better and my want list is considerably shorter I may pony up and buy one of the new mercmonitors. However, for now I found that it does have a lead near the controls that does have a analog tach signal...

My boat is getting better week by week. Raising the motor did help with porpoising and helped it drive much better and it also picked up almost 10% in speed. It does still porpoise when I am trying to trim it for max speed. All the reviews for Smart Tabs have been extremely positive with a...

Well I had 5 trolling motors and I sold them all. Some were on my last boat that I sold naked and 1 was on my Grizzly when I bought it. I still had a hard time ordering my new one this evening but it's on the way. I ordered a Minn Kota Riptide ST, 80 lb, 24 Volt. I'm not sure I'll ever take...

I have a question regarding battery placement. My tracker seems to be light in the bow or stern heavy. It has the 40 4 stroke motor, a 6.6 gal gas tank, and 2 batteries in the back. I was surprised when I could pick up the tongue of the trailer with 1 arm. It also seems to want to porpoise...

Ok so everywhere I read and from Mercury the plate should be even with the bottom of the boat. Then, I call Tracker Marine who built my boat and ask them about my exact motor and they tell me it should be mounted on the transom sitting directly on the top rail which puts the plate 1.25" below...

Well I love my new boat, but the front storage compartment was pitiful. I looked at how they changed it from the 2008 that I have to the current 2009 model and I had to change mine. I just couldn't get anything in that stupid plastic compartment. Anyway, I took the compartment out and removed...

This forum is great. I'm glad I found it. I'm not really new to tin boats as I'm on my 3rd one now and I just got it. I started out with a 12x32 about 5 years ago. Then I moved up to a 14x42 Alumacraft Crappie Jon. It was great, but my wife started going with me and wanted to lay on a deck...
