That’s the kind of info I’m looking for. Do I start at the helm or the motor?
I am about to attempt to replace my steering cable on 2011 Tracker 175 TX. Any advice from someone who has experience would be greatly appreciated!
It is blkfalc4! I had all the bolts completely removed. I tried prying it off and never broke the seal!
Attempted to raise the motor, secured the motor, removed all four bolts, couldn’t break the seal between the boat and motor. Any suggestions or do I just need a bigger hammer?
I need help! 2011 175 TX with a 60 hp 4 stroke Mercury that is almost frozen on the spindle that’s it turns on. I have it completely unhooked from everything and it takes two hands on the motor to...
Thanks, I’ll do that!
My boat has never had a depth finder on the bow (2011 175 TX). Do I tap into the trolling motor wires for power?
Good info. Thanks
Thanks for the reply CincyGus. I hope to get the motor moved up this week. I have been looking at the Spitfire on Amazon pretty hard but thought I would see what I got out of this first. I...
35 mph @ 5600 RPM but, I think the steering is to hard. I’ve had other boats that as soon as I get on plane and trim the motor up it would be obvious when I hit the “sweet spot” I don’t feel that on...
Thanks for the info. I was wondering if raising one hole would make a difference or not.
What is a 4” Atlas JP?
Just curious, what hole is your 60hp 4 stroke Merc in on the transom of your Pro Team 175?
I appreciate your input R2Tracker. I checked out those videos you posted. I managed to get the pivot tube cleaned out and new grease in and it made a world of difference at the steering wheel.
2011 60 hp Mercury 4 stroke Mod 1A60413KZ. Ser #1C151669. I thought I had a problem in the boat steering but I discovered the issue is on the motor. With the steering cable end disconnected when I...
UPDATE!!! I removed the steering linkage from the motor and found that it is the motor that sticks. I have pumped grease into The pivot fitting excessively with grease coming out of the top and it...
I guess that’s what I’m trying to get at is unloading the boat, Idling through the no wake zone and can’t turn the steering wheel without that little extra muscle. I had a Crestliner 1756 with a...
I don’t know how to explain this. The steering wheel is very tight to begin a turn. It almost feels like it is stuck and won’t turn but with a little more effort it will free up but, when I begin...
Can someone shed some light on NFB steering? I would like to eliminate the need to use both hands to free the steering wheel to drive the boat.
I am currently in the market for probably a Pro 175. I am finding a lot of 50 hp 2 strokes and a few 60 hp 4 strokes and a couple 75 hp Optimax. Having owned a 60 hp 4 stroke I know they are very...
Thanks
Ser #1B262758—-2006 115EXLPTO First start up since last fall, in garage on water wings and garden hose. Fired right up but sounded like it wasn’t running on all cylinders. Idle for about 10...
Thanks guys!
Sorry for the confusion. The arm that is attached to the motor that rests atop of the transom when in the down position. Is this suitable for supporting the motor in transit?
