Been a little busy. Finally framed the rear deck and got it mostly completed. All i need to do to it is add 2 piano hinges to the 2 hatches. I also rebuilt my trolling motor stow/deploy system to where it works as intended. Just about done!

Installed trim switch at the bow. Man i know this is gonna come in handy. Also installed the retractable rod straps.

Literally spent 12 hours trying to wire a 3 way DPDT switch for the bow. Turns out i wasn’t as stupid as i was starting to believe. The first two switches i tried were bad. Also everyone on forums says to tie into the “blue and green” trim wires at the solenoid.. i ended up having to tie into a...

thank you, more is to come in the following days

Yes i know it only goes to one plug. The one i bought comes pre loaded for certain outboards that you can choose from for your specific application. I know the modes were mainly 2/4 stroke with 1-2 cylinders. I have a 4 stroke 3 cylinder

Stayed tuned for updates. Next will be bow trim switch install and Front deck retractable rod straps then rear deck framing.

This is the switch i used. Ran all new 16 gauge wire with fuses to all accessories. I would usually go bigger but everything on my switch panel pulls very low amps. New 1100 GPH bilge pump.

Put my Terrova I-Pilot back on and ran all wires to this mini aluminum panel. I will add a trim switch and tie it in at the trim solenoids on the outboard and mount the bow switch into this aluminum panel with the blue and green wires in the picture. My TM stow/deploy wasn’t working right and...

Got the EVA foam installed on the front deck and fabricated a simple mount for the LED pods then installed - the zip ties are just to secure wires. Installed running lights. Very happy with both. Both very bright and total cost was around $45. They both had good reviews on Amazon.

Got 1/2” ply cut to spec and riveted down using 3/16x1” aluminum rivets.

The most tedious job on planet earth.. tearing out foam…

Framed up the deck using a mix of 1/16 and 1/8 aluminum angle. I didn’t care for the sides to not be square being i only need the one large front hatch. I would have liked to add more support near the bow tip but didn’t wanna drill out/rivet anything below the waterline

The Start:

Hey guys. I decided to have some fun and remodel my old tracker. Pics are included. NOTE: this is my first time doing something like this so mistakes were made. I do it because i like projects and to learn new things. The things I’ve got so far are: •Raised casting deck even with gunnels •New...

okay that gives some clarification then. i just installed a spark plug wire digital tach but didnt realize it didnt have a preloaded program for a 4 stroke 3 cylinder, ill get one that does. ill buy a cheap aluminum prop with same diameter & pitch as ive got now on ebay for $88 and then do a...
