So I've done a lot of little work on this motor, carb rebuild, spark plugs, fuel filter, water pump, new fuel line with primer ball, etc. However it's still acting up. It'll sit and idle in the driveway with muffs on at 1400rpm, but when in the water it tries to idle at 500 rpm and just dies...

So I have a few leaky rivets on my hull, being that I already have it put back together and completed on the inside the rivets, Cant get to the rivets to replace them, and I know its not the best way but I am looking for an easy fix for this. I was thinking about wire brushing around the rivet...

Last fall when I started working on my Tracker rebuild I found my trim motor was low so I used some transmission fluid to top it off and it worked great last fall before I put it away. Now after some more in depth reading I see I probably shouldn't have used the transmission fluid as it can be...

Alright so I had a Motorguide X3, after year and a half it died on me, had my dad replace all the seals and clean it up, worked for three months and I put it in storage. Now I went to mount it on my new boat and it's shot again, obviously a crack in the housing somewhere......pretty...

My Basstracker came with an Evinrude Tracker 50 hp, but the prop is pretty chewed. I'd like to find a new one but when I search the best I can find is what is in this link....... https://www.crowleymarine.com/parts/12777.cfm Any thoughts here? Should I go with 17" pitch or should I go down to...

Have 1989 Evinrude Tracker 50hp with the VRO system. When I bought it the previous owner had disconnected the oil reserve and just premixed the oil and gas. I am fine with this however he left all the wires from the oil reserve still connected to the motor. As I'm rebuilding the boat I need...

So working on a rebuild and just got all the foam ripped out of the front half of my boat (all waterlogged). Where my question comes in though is, is the 2 part expanding foam really worth the time and effort? I've been thinking about just using closed cell foam boards and cutting them to size...

The outboard on my project boat is pretty rough on the outside. looking for ideas on how to redo the cowl. any ideas for types of paint or other interesting ideas, I know you guys are full of ideas! Thanks

Seen some of you guys talking about it on here, looks great especially at the discount price from the board sponsor, however I need to know how durable it is? Is this meant to last a couple years, a couple months, or ten years? Also how hard is it to clean? will I be able to clean it or will...

Trying to figure out the best way to add a rod holder to my 1989 Bass Tracker TX17. With the foam in the front, angle of the front, and limited space I'm curious if a rod box right down the center of the boat would or not, and there isn't enough room on the sides to add a side rod box. Any...

Background: Purchased a 1989 Bass Tracker TX17 recently as a project and upgrade. It is sitting on a homemade dual axle trailer, it trailered home just fine but the trailer as a whole is not great. Gotta start on the trailer before the boat obviously so that's what I did. Wire wheeled the...

So I originally joined this site a few years back when I acquired this little boat. Somehow I ended up not posting anything so even though its gone now it gave me an awesome 2 1/2 years and caught a ton of fish out of it. Nothing super special but a ton of fun and now my new one I'm sure will...

So there seems to be plenty of trackers on here for me to learn from. Picked this one up this past summer but haven’t had a ton of time to work on it yet. Got a little done on the deconstruction but that’s about it, although most of the trailer has now been redone, just haven’t gotten around...

I'll be acquiring a 12' deep v aluminum boat as my first boat here in a month or so. Already looking at mods I can make to it, however while I will be getting a trailer with the boat I won't have an outboard. The smallest I want to go is 9.9hp, but I'm curious to what you guys think the best...
