I was able to locate on old boat manual.

I am helping out our local high school start a fishing club and we just picked up a '95 tracker pro deep V 17' that is in pretty good shape, hopefully not too much work that needs done. I'm trying to get the livewell operational, but don't know what I am doing. can someone with a similar boat...

I used a similar switch panel on my build. Here is the diagram that came with it. Search by my handle and you will find a thread that has my complete wiring diagram that might help too.

here is the wiring diagram, lines might not be the straightest, but oh well...

Thanks for the ideas, i will fiddle around with the mixture and see what happens. Any suggestions on how to troubleshoot the ignition that you mentioned? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just an FYI for anyone considering the parallel battery setup like I did. The first time out I went bowfishing in a cove off of Lake Erie. started at 10 pm and finished at 4 am, so 6 hours total with 6 headlights on and all the running lights too. used the TM constantly. got bogged down in weeds...

finally gave up trying to figure this out myself and took the motor to a marina. here is a link to a video I took of how it looks now that it is running OK. hopefully someone can learn from it down the line. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kbGUDgxIUE0

I finally gave up trying to figure out the problems with the motor and took it to a marina. They fixed it up and it runs OK now. I've had the boat out a few times to test it out and I guess I have to call it "done"! though I'm sure I will continue to tinker with it. Everything is working great...

I have one too and I am very please with it. I'm using it to protect 2 group 27's from walmart in parallel. It did the trick perfectly the first time out bowfishing. with all the lights on the trolling motor got bogged down in heavy weeds and that was enough to blow the breaker. all I had to do...

getting closer. the framing, foam replacement, and decking are finished. so is the electrical system, check that out here: https://www.forum.tinboats.net/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=43061 . I took it out on the water one time, pretty happy with everything, but the motor didn't run like it did in the...

no, didn't use pressure treated wood for the bunks.

Can I please get a thumbs-up/thumbs-down or any comments on this setup that I have put together based mostly on research here on this site. this is my first boat project and my first DC project, though I have done plenty of AC wiring over the yesrs. I have a '76 14' meyers superpro with a...

I wanted to share the fish finder set up that I have McGyvered together. I bought this Lowrance a couple years ago and made this set-up portable so that I could take it on the family Canadian fly-in trip and use it on my float tube. I can mount the transducer on a piece of wood that clamps to...

Finally ready to paint. I decided to tear my woodshop apart so that I could drag the boat inside to paint the interior (not gonna worry about the outside this year). I didn't think that I could get my 2 car garage warm enough, but it gets plenty warm in the shop. I spent the morning moving the...

Only been able to work once every other weekend or so, but have made some progress. got the front bench cut out for 2 batteries. I plan to either run a single battery or 2 in parallel depending on how long i plan to be out, if i'll be out at night, etc. ordered this carpet off amazon...
