The iboats forum moderators are excited to announce that at this time it appears the iboats forums posting pictures function is working once again. Though we cannot promise for how long, we're hoping for indefinitely.
I have a 2012 tracker pro guide and the motor hits the ground on the trailer far before the trim is all the way down. Problem comes when trailering the boat. at the boat ramp with the motor tilted anything above idle pushes the motor down. It gets aggravating and I know I could sink the trailer...
I'm in the market for a S.S. Prop and dont really know how to select the best for the boat. The boat weighs 1260 lbs empty and runs at the top end of the factory estimated speeds. However, the paint is now coming off the prop and it cavitates bad in turns. Looking to stay with the current...
I've got a 2012 Tracker sc175 and I'm trying to figure out a way to lock the steering to keep the motor from laying on one side when hauling the boat. My transom saver fell out on the way to the lake this weekend and the new will not work unless the motor is straight. This is probably one of the...
I bought a new 175 SC Bass Tracker a few months back and opted for the standard 90HP 4 stroke instead of the optional 115 hp. I compared the statistics of the two engines and the 115 would give me only 2 more MPH and burn twice as much fuel at WOT. After a few trips to the lake I feel I should...
Does anyone know if its ok to run regular motor oil and a Fram filter in this motor? I've just got done with the break in period and want to go ahead and change the oil, but i dont want to have to go to the marina to get a mecury filter or their oil.
I recently picked up a new tracker and was told that it would be fine in saltwater by the Bass Pro salesman. Now I'm hearing from others that its not a good idea. I'm confused now and a little angry due to the fact that I unloaded so much money and cant get a straight answer anywhere on the...
He folks I'm having a problem with this engine. It fouled a plug two weeks ago and I thought that was the end of it. Tonight I cranked the boat at the ramp and it ran for a while and then it stalled. I felt the head and the lower cylinder was cool to the touch so I changed the plugs at the ramp...
I'm removing the lower unit to change the impeller and cant figure out where the hydroshift wires unplug at. The only wires I see going down run directly into the harness.
All right I've gotten into way more than I ever wanted to, but here it is. The boat sank at a friend of the families dock. The motor was locked up from the water and he thought it was ruined and sold it to me for $150.00 with the trailer. Cant beat that. I fixed the motor (Johnson 50) and ran it...
Hi guys. I've been reading pages and pages about this motor, but havent really found anything that is my problem.
Heres what I've got. I ended up with a 16 foot boat with the 50 hp on the back for $150.00. The problem is the back end of the boat sank and caused a light rust on the cylinder...
