Good evening all. I have a 2000 Tracker Tournament V18 with a 125hp 2+2. I bought the boat knowing it needed a new transom. I removed the engine and replaced the transom. Here is my question. The...
It sure does catfan. That takes care of the boat but my Power Poles and jack plate are connected directly to the cranking battery.
Thanks for the input dm, I wasn’t sure if the Garmins and or the Power Poles might have some sort of memory features that required some small amount power. Still not sure the battery switch is the...
Good afternoon all. I am in the process of switching from AGM batteries to Ionic lithiums in my 1999 Ranger 519svs with a 225 Mercury Opti. My trolling motor setup is the same as before with two 12v...
Thanks for all the feedback. I didn’t really think they would fit but wanted to get some other opinions. It’s nice to have such a wealth of information here on BBC.
Good evening all. Hope everybody had a great weekend. I took the lithium battery plunge and could not be happier with prompt shipping from Andy at Drewtech. I am sure this question has been asked...
Is the transducer still available?
Thank you fishin for the great info. Can never have too much information. I found a pair of GT54 transducers for a great price. I may go ahead and pull the trigger on them. Thanks again for your help.
Are these still available?
Thanks sooner. Will definitely keep that in mind.
Good afternoon all. I just purchased two previously owned Garmin echomap plus 93sv units. They came with the following transducers. One is a GT52HW the other is a CV52HW. The GT52 was mounted on the...
USAF 1972-1993 Aircraft Maintenance. SJAFB, Kunson Korea, McDill AFB Fl, Minot AFB ND too many TDYs to remember and last but not least Southwest Asia.
One last suggestion..... make sure you give the paint plenty of time to cure. A day or so should be plenty. It WILL peel off if you don’t.

Hey rexico, I was a tech at David Frits Outdoors and ran into this issue many times. Here's one solution that worked fine r us more re takes than not. The best way to really clean the tilt tube...
Coyoteprinter, If you remove the bow panel and look straight down you should see a PVC drain tube that drains into the bottom of the hull. When I installed my recessed an I moved the drain in the pan...
Hey Murphy, I just completed a year long restoration project on a Ranger 519svs. I used Weldwood All Weather Outdoor Carpet Adhesive for the large flat horizontal surfaces and Weldwood Contact Cement...
Here is what I have used for years in the shops I have worked in and in my home shop. Go buy a one gallon insecticide sprayer at you local hardware store and and the Mercury fill adapter to the end...
First thing is use a 6 point socket. More contact surface one each flat of the the nut. Several companies offer thin wall impact sockets. Don't use an impact wrench to loosen them. Use a long breaker...
Hey Bob, hydraulic steering is a great upgrade. It will take any prop induced torque steer out. For your boat and engine combo the SeaStar "Bay Star" would be a more economical option. If you look a...
I am in the process of restoring a 1999 Ranger 519svs and tandem axel trailer. While working on the trailer I noticed the the trailer leaf springs seem to be sagging quite a bit. I had planned on...
Hello all. I am in the midst of a nearly year long restoration project on a 1999 Ranger 519svs and tandem axle trailer. After new bunks and fender guide boards I noticed that the springs appear to be...
Bryce, there are a few thing to consider. If you're planning on keeping the boat for the foreseeable future and the boat is in reasonable condition then go for it. Putting a new engine on an older...
Just my two cents worth but if you look back at what happened to the other boat companies that John L. Morris bought in the past this all boils down to profit. His bean counters will do everything...
