It is the most difficult boat I've had to load as well! I have found this helps.....I keep the fenders about 4" out of the water (70% of trailer is out of the water) and load the boat at slight angle...

I had read somewhere, probably on this forum, to turn your main breaker off when you charge your batteries. Apparently, some trolling motors have been "fried" during the charging cycle. Turning off...

Unless the 198 comes standard with LED trailer lights, (don't think it does), that's one of the first things I would do! Easy to do and inexpensive. Should not have to worry about them for a LONG...

I have a 6amp/3 bank charger on my boat and have never had a problem charging fully overnight. I run group 27 AGM's and, like I said...no problem! Not certain, but I think the advantage to higher...

I know Tracker doesn't normally do this but does anyone know if this boat can be ordered with a 25 HP motor? Would be great for some of the HP restricted lakes in the Midwest!

I've got the same rig, less the jackplate and I have a single console. Try a Mercury Laser II, 20 pitch on it! Jaco's Marine sells them for about $400 online. Have a prop guy add a tiny bit of cup to...

Cabelas seems to have a sale on their AGM's around Black Friday and in mid summer. I've had them for 2 years now...no problems!

When I ordered my 188 in 2016, I was told by my dealer that you couldn't get both the jackplate and hydraulic steering...one or the other when ordering from the factory. I was convinced that the...

I have a 2016 188 and run the SHO with a Laser 2, 20 pitch with a little cup added. It's the only prop I've run on this motor so I don't have anything to compare it to but I have no complaints! Rpm's...

Run the same engine (115 SHO)....Never ran another prop so can't compare it to anything else but I have to agree with Panama....a year ago I took his advise and many others in this forum and picked...

I have a '16 RT188 with the 115 SHO. Love it! Running a 20 pitch Laser II with a little cup added to it by Mark Croxton out of Shelbyville, IN. He's done prop work for many guys in this forum....

I've got a 2016 Taco TRD Sport and it tows my RT188 just fine! Have never had a problem pulling it out of the lake. Love the size of the truck and the back-up camera really helps with backing to the...

Got an '16 RT188 and I'm running a 20p Laser II on mine. Had it cupped a bit by Croxton. Don't have anything to compare it to, only prop I've run! Lot of guys running these props! Pushing about 6k...

Google RMC Battery Mate....great trays and straps. Best I've found!

I just ordered a new boat that will be powered by a 115 SHO. Was wondering if anyone knows which Motormate to purchase for this motor! I called Motormate and it seems they're not sure either! I was...

I have been running a MK powerdrive for 25 years. I use a cable tie for the ducer cable on the shaft where it meets the head and again on the shaft where it meets the lower unit....that's the only...

I am very interested in purchasing this motor too! Have read many positive reviews but I have a couple questions for those users.....
Because the Xi5, when mounted, hangs out a little further over...
