    Who has installed power Poles on a Tracker 190TX? Or any fo that matter

    My question revolves around placing for the pumps? Where did you put them? I have 3 batteries so no room there. The only possibility is in the rear well under the motor?

    This thread is an install on an RT188, but it shows one approach.

    Thanks, unfortunately the 190TX doesn't have as much room on the back storage compartments.

    Have you checked to make sure it won't void your hull warranty? I've been wanting to put one on mine but am concerned about voiding the warranty.

    Do you think there might be room WAY back there by the onboard charger?

    I had always said if i ever installed poles i would make a bracket to install the pumps between the braces for the outboard in the center. Out of the way but still somewhat accessable for checking the fluid.

    I’m getting ready to install one this weekend on my 175. I also have 24v system with s 3 bank I’ll will post some pics when I’m done. It will be tight but think it can be done. I had also tossed the idea of loosing the storage bin behind the drivers seat to mount 2 pumps to allow me to have to poles.

    That's what I was thinking as well. I don't want to have to run hoses all the way up to the right front storage compartment.

    I installed a Power Pole Sportsman II on my 2014 Tracker 175 TXW. PM me for details.

    Interested to see your final pump install location.

    got mine on and mounted down by the fuel tank, it is a mother f’er and takes a little patience but can be done and I do believe I can get a second pump as well. I can’t get photos to upload but if you pm me your email address I’ll send you some photos of mine.

    I installed duel power poles on my 2017 175. I put the pumps in the storage box behind the passenger seat.

    I ended up using the storage box behind the passenger seat. I would have had enough space in the splashwell under the motor but there was physically no way to get the pumps in that area because of interference with the gas tank.

    This post shows my install. http://www.bbcboards.net/showthread.php?t=949641

    That is a very nice install. Looks great. Pump access would be tough between the transom braces. Yea you lose a storage box but if yoy ever sid have a pump leak at least its contained and wont be all over in the bilge. Nice job.

    For you guys with Trackers. I have a 09-190 and was wondering how and where you placed your 3rd battery in order to go 24V. I have two batteries, oiler, and a on board charger right now. Can't see where there is room for another battery. Thinking of relocated something.... SUGGESTIONS welcome

    Not sure of the difference between the 09 and 14 but I have room on the left of the gas tank for 3 batteries. I actually think I could get 4 in there if I turned them lengthways.
