    Need some help picking out a new boat.

    Well, I'd didn't take long to figure out my Pro175 was too small for my growing family who wanted to go to the water with me. The original intent of the tin was me and my younger daughter using it to fish only. However, the wife,, older daughter, grandchild and son in law also wanted to go...

    1997 Tracker Pro Team 17 overhaul

    Is there a fuse on the motor itself? My 2004 has one on the upper right rear corner of the motor. When it fails, the power tilt won't work, I found that the hard way. Also, since you pulled the console, check the wiring harness plug connections in the console. The plugs have split male...

    Starbrite Ultimate Aluminum Cleaner/Restorer

    I wanted to post this dramatic picture of how well this stuff cleaned off years of stain from my Tracker. I think the previous owner never even washed this tin and after 13 years it had a lot of stains and oxidation. I tried several different cleaners including compounds with my buffer. And...

    I think I'm done with the interior, if I can live with the painted and not carpeted hatch.

    Renovating a 2004 Tracker Pro175

    Well, I touched almost everything on this boat at least once, except the bunk boards, which will be recovered shortly. As I wait on my R&R hatch lid, I got board so I made this simple tire carrier. It is high and tight, as in high off the road and tight to the frame without interference with...
