Faulty Swing Away Trailer Pin
If you purchased a White River Marine Group boat, it’s likely your swing away trailer has the problematic pin with the plastic handle. These handles are prone to failing and should be replaced. #fishing #boat #trailer #Trackerpro

You won’t find information on this filter in your owners manual or on your maintenance schedule. The inline fuel filter should be changed every 100 hours or annually whichever comes first. #trackerboats #fuelfilter #mercuryoutboards #outboards #mercurymarine #boats #boatmaintenance #mercuryfuelfilter In-Line Filter Part: www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B015CTNQC2?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title

Installing Livescope
Переглядів 7 тис.7 місяців тому
After a long time debating whether or not to install Livescope on my boat, I went ahead and installed it. It was not the easiest install and at times very frustrating but it’s done and I feel good about it and excited to get out on the water and learn the system. #livescope #trackerboats #trackerpro170 #garmin #boat #diy #fish #fishing #BassFishing #LargemouthBass #crappiefishing Products in th...

Ionic Lithium Battery Install and Information
How long did it take the 4amp charger to fully charge battery???
Love my ionic 100ah trolling battery
Have you had any problems wit the paint coming offon the bunks.
@@brianw3822 None at all.
do we need to change the oil and filter after the 10 hour break-in time?
@@dreamfly555 It's a good idea to do so.
How did you run the larger cable for TM and additional wire to the bow?
@@Paul-c9m the wiring was already there from the factory.
Excellent, clear instructions. Great video
@@Happy-Trails-To-You Thanks!
When using spot-lock, my Terrova will often go past 180°, which would wind up breaking/damaging that cord.
Thanks for this info.
I haven't looked at any forums about the trolling motor install. Wondering if that hole can be made larger to ease the pain a bit?
@@stldavid I have seen and heard of folks that have made that opening larger.
I cut the hole to make it bigger. Was able to install a Fortrexx 80 with no problems. BIG UPGRADE. Extra battery fit in back also for 24volt in a 2022 170.
Excellent video. Good details. Thanks. Only think I noticed was that when installing the fuel filter, you didn't prime it with the primer bulb to check for any leakage.
@@mcclaren807 thanks for watching. You are correct. I did not prime it in the video and I should have in order to check for leaks.
WOW 😂😂. Sounds to me like someone wants a $90k bass boat for $20k . Like the old saying goes “ You get what you pay for !! “
@@stevenlitkey9354 thanks for watching but you’re pretty off base. If I wanted a $90k boat I would have a $90k boat. Tight lines brother.
I genuinely appreciate this HONEST review. I am in the market for a new tracker and still debating between the Classic XL and the Pro 170. The main reason i am considering the pro over the classic is the rod locker, the fixed larger fuel tank, and the better console. It would only be about $20 more a month on financing and I am thinking it would be worth it. I was going to do the 50hp with carpet.
@@MidWesti I honestly think you would be happier with the Pro 170. It has ended up being a great boat, especially with all the upgrades I have added to it.
I just switched to a spitfire prop and noticed this thanks for posting. I also noticed a thud when I accelerate onto plane. Onesingle thud just after I hit the throttle. I wonder if that thud is the sound of the play in the hub. Did you notice if you can also hear an audible thud when you accelerate from idle to on plane by any chance?
@@DandersMcJigger Interesting. I have not heard that thud on mine. Let me know if you find out what is causing that thud.
That oil filter was on way too tight period
I have the 50hp efi four stroke Bigfoot. I can see the sleeved filter but it's much lower with some other bundled lines over it. It really looks like i might need to remove the lower cowl to access it. Does that seem right?
@@dkwallisI don’t have any experience with the Bigfoot motors but given they have a longer more robust lower unit, that may be the case.
Great vid. Does doing the service yourself void the factory warranty?
@@onthehill7690 I’m not 100% on this but it’s my understanding that if you keep your receipts and keep a record of the maintenance you performed then your warranty is still good.
Why would you not for the gear oil fill it from the top bolt that was removed? So then you wouldn’t have to quickly reattach the bottom bolt.
You fill from the bottom in order to push the air in there out. If you were to fill from the top, then you wouldn’t get that air out and the lower unit would not be full of oil like it’s supposed to be.
@@RFishingtx Thank you, excellent video!
Do I need to pump the priming bulb after installing a new in line filter?
@stefansimon9366 you can give it a couple squeezes but it’s not necessary.
Yup, everything Mercury/Quicksilver Flo Torq does this. Took a while to figure that out.
How did you widen the charger lead to fit the post?
I just used a file to open it up a bit.
Great video. When you change the spark plugs do you have a tough time removing the bottom plug? That one is always a killer for me with my Bigfoot.
Thanks! They definitely didn’t make it easy to get to them.
Thanks for the video. These are my exact installation thoughts. Looks like a great job. Good looking boat by the way.
Thanks! 👍🏼
Excellent, detailed review, thanks very much! I am considering either the Pro 170 or the Pro Team 175 TXW for a few $grand more. Just wondering if you considered the 175 TXW, or if due to limited storage space you had to go with the Pro 170? Also, do you feel like the extra beam and other features on the 175 TXW are worth the higher price?
@kenb6102 Thanks! I do have limited space in the garage so the 175 would be a bit too tight of a fit. If I wasn’t limited on space and the choice was between the 170 and 175, I would rather spend the extra and get the 175. Even if you do the 175 with the tournament package, you’ll still want to upgrade the electronics and trolling motor at the very least.
I wonder if the ultimate bunk noard are the same as plastic lumber.
All I know is they’re made from High-Density Polyethylene Plastic with a UV inhibitor. So far they have been great.
THANK YOU! I just ordered about a $100 of stuff from Amazon to tackle this but it'll save me $500/yr. in having someone else do it.
Glad to help. 👍🏼
I wanna upgrade to the Terrova as well, but I do not like that support you have I feel like it’s in the way I feel like I would trip on it and it’s one less spot you can step I find myself needing every bit of room I can get on the deck, wondering if there is another way to add support as all that force from bouncing around during transportation is sure to cause some damage, I am looking into something that perhaps attaches to the versa track
That bracket I have is removable. It just slides off the base.
good review and lots to think about considering this one is on my short list
I should probably do another review after all the updates I have done. This little tin boat has actually turned out to be a great boat. It’s been really fun to work on and make upgrades to.
could not here you volume problems otherwse well done
Sorry about that and thanks for the compliment.
OMG! Thank you so much! I've been scratching my head and taking the prop on and off for an hour!
Glad to help.
I assuming this is the same for the black max?
@@McHodgebin Yessir
@@RFishingtx ok thanks. really appreciate you posting this video as it has been driving me nuts. Like many others i'm sure i've taken that prop off multiple times to see if it was on incorrectly. Mercury should put this information on the box.
Does this play include side to side play as well as in out play? Thank you.
It also looks like you missed your high pressure fuel filter
That’s on another video.
Great review...how fast that boat run with just you
Thank you! Usually around 35 mph.
Ive heard there a water pickup filter in the foot. My wanna check that too. I had a evenrude that took a poop on me last week due to a failed thermostat only 50 hrs on the motor destroyed the engine. Just bought a brand new boat with a 6o hp mercury and it will get a thermostat every year.
Sorry to hear that about your Evenrude.
One of my coworkers found out someone took his pin at the ramp when he was backing it up… I would buy a spare to keep just incase.
Great advise. Thanks for the comment! :)
Thank you for this video! I have the same trailer pin. You should call white river and let them know what happened to you. This pin should be on a recall notice to who ever got one with their trailer. Companies are always trying to cut costs but this is ridiculous! Thanks again
@davidvick1078 I may actually shoot them an email with a number of folks who’s pins broke the same way. It’s definitely a problem.
All that and didn’t fire it up
Check out the next video. I run the motor and check for leaks etc.
26:15 use a pair of channel locks, makes life easier
Thanks!
I've been there with the lack of access for the front deck on my Pro 160, (similar arrangement). I was so aggravated. I thought about specially made tools,,, but then realized the the main deck was much less work then tooling. I think it had 24 screws, and a little maneuvering, it opened up access. Wouldn't want to do that often, but shouldn't to have once the work in that area was done. I had carpeting. Vinyl should be easier. (did it while in my shop for winter service).
What about spark plugs
I checked them but didn’t record video of it. It will be part of my 3 year maintenance video when I change the impeller as well as the spark plugs coming up later this summer.
You need a Drotto
So far haven’t had any issues but you’re right. At some point I’ll need to get one because they are pretty awesome.
What did you use on the motor area to keep the cable centered? Is it glued or screwed? Great idea best I've seen on YT.
@timnationx7482 I used a U shaped bracket made of hard plastic and ran a bolt through. I wrapped the bolt with electrical tape to protect the sleeve that’s over the transducer cable and glued the bracket in place. This has worked out incredibly well.
Any issues using spot lock and this rigging?
@@timnationx7482 So far no issues
I live about 10 minutes from the lake so I try to go when I can but I haven't had much success either. A few days ago I was casting from shore with a dark roboworm on a texas rig and wasn't getting any bites but I saw a few bass passing along the rocks by the shore and I put a crawler on instead twitching it along the bottom. I ended up catching and releasing 2 bass that were about the legal size. I'm hoping to go again soon and see if they prefer the crawler again especially near Pier 1 where the sight fishing is a lot better.
@justthicc Thanks for sharing.
Did you replace the seals on the upper / breather screws in the lower unit housing? Is it better to remove both of the screws when changing the gear oil? Thanks for such a great video!
@dwainlsmith Thanks for the kind words. I did not replace any seals on the lower unit screws. When draining the lower unit gear oil, it’s best to remove the bottom screw first and then the top screw which then allows the pressure to release allowing the oil to drain out. In essence you are removing both screws but after the gear oil is pumped back in you replace them one at a time. I hope that answers your question.
Great video! I have a question though. How do you see the hours on your engine? Or do you just everything annually?
@vincentnieto7792 I have VesselView mobile installed on the engine which shows all the engine data via an app on my iPhone. It’s a must have in my opinion.
Bros living my dream, airline pilot and fisherman, nice man, I fish dixon, had good luck with 2lbs test with weighted jiggs, dark colors, bright colors, don't matter
Thank bro! I’ll have to try that next time I come out.
Great review. The negative aspects of the pro 170 are why Im buying the pro 175 TXW, its still not perfect but fixes most of the problems with the pro 170.
Thanks for the positive feedback!
My man out here showing off... save some for the rest of us!
Heck yes
Thats sad😢
🤣🤦♂️
Throw that on a hook for bait
