I just bought a Tracker Targa 17SC in July. It has a 2007 Mercury 75 four stroke EFI on it. Put it in water and on the dock over night and woke up in the morning and the boat was under about 2 feet of water in the back and nose was almost straight up. The olny thing stopping it from going down was the motor was touching bottom. Brought it back they had it a week and put a automatic Bilge pump in said it wouldnt happen again just rained alot witch it did. Took it out the next saturday and that auto bilge pump ran all day long! So I looked in the back and the 2 wet well drain holes sit under water about 2 inches. Water is constantly leaking into the boat and right there in front of the motor in the wet well, is the round black plastic cap that unscrews and you can reach down into the boat where the pump is. So in a sense the boat was sinking it self. So dealer took it back and tried to water tight and seal the cap. Got it back a week later still no change. Water still leaks in all day long. I got about 2 inches of clearence from water coming in over the back by the motor and thats with a 1/4 tank of gas. Three months later and I still havent heard anything. They say they are working on an answer. That was the major problem! I lost two rod tips putting my rods in the rod holders under deck, broke tips right off cause they got caught up in there on electric motor wires under deck. 80 dollar rods. Then I looked at one of the seats up front and the stitching on seat came completely out and seat is coming apart. Dealer told me its not there problem they are on my side its trackers job to fix it. Not sure what to do with this boat? Motor is Great love it.. This tracker is a problem boat from hell. asking $18995.00 for it i paid 15,000 after a $3000 rebate and down payment and it sank the next day!!!! You can probably tell what I think of Tracker BOATS, this was my first one!! I asked about the Lemon law and we dont have one in the state of maine for boats. I heard back from Tracker today they said they will only fix the well cap from not being water tight. Its normal they say for it to sit that low! Does anyone know how far above water line wet well drain are suppose to be?? As you can see in the pics my water line is at the top 2 bolts holding motor on. Drain holes are under water about 1 to 2 inches depending on how much gas is in boat and if im standing the the back.
