Is the 55lb thrust good enough for that size boat?
Hey buddy could you get up with me about lighting the deck with led lights
What's up?
Why not connect your new trolling motor power to the underside of the female plug for the old trolling motor? 12v and ground from the battery already there and you don't destroy your old cable.
Did you have to replace the wires?
Well done. Looks like it will function nicely.
What length shaft did you get for the terrova?
What engine did you get. I just bought a 175 TF and up graded to the 75 hp. I get 40-42 fully loaded and two people. That’s why I’m asking.
I have the 60 and wish I had gone with the 75.
Great ideal on removing the cup holders. I’ll have to do that.
Tried it, and it works great. Thank you!
Thank you for this video (Terrova)
Do you think that would on Ranger boat? My is made in 2004 it is a 518xv.I live Southern IL. ThankYou.
You can order one to fit most boats and trailers from them.
Great video sir, I’m about to mount the same set up on my tracker. Thank you!
Thank you and good luck with your install.
Good video. I’m definitely no expert but have a suggestion on “puck” placement. I’ve heard and seen that when the Terrova is on the 175, it’s already a little tough to get at the release foot pedal. Just not a bunch of room up there on the 175. You talked about placing the puck on the deck just below the stored motor. It seems that would add to the congestion on the side in which you must stand to get at the release foot pedal. I would probably tuck it in fairly close to your Garmin unit unless that would create interference but it would be out of the way and not get stepped on or kicked. Again, enjoyed the video.
If you don't use the two pedestal seat mounts on either side of center, I would suggest removing them and covering the holes. Your rods don't stand a chance if you inadvertently step on them when they are laying across them. I speak from experience.
where did you find those trailer steps? I dig them

What size is the 4 blade prop you have?
12v or 24v?
12 volt.
Question on the eyebolt: Was the original hole drilled all the way through so you would but a nut under and the lock nut on top? Thanks for the help!!! Stay Safe & God Bless!!
It was dried all the way. I chose to get an eye bolt just a little bigger than the hole and screwed the eye bolt into the hole and used a nut as a stop. Thanks for watching.
@@easttn.fishingdude4169 Thanks for getting back & letting me know. I'll have to drill a hole & put the eye bolt in like you did. That sure is a great idea. Stay Safe & God Bless!!!
Like the way you attached the transducer cable. Which I can across this video earlier before having a dealer install the Garmin transducer. They ran it up the shift & I had to take it off because it twisted around. Not sure if it ruined the cable or not but I'm a little disappointed. Thanks again for sharing!!! Stay Safe & God Bless!!
You caught 1 thing…..your boat!!! You need to go fishing alone again Brothers. I’m in Kpt/Gate City
So don’t think tracker is gonna warranty your hull anyhow… my 2007 had matching cracks in the hull and was told tough luck so yea Johnny Morris is trash for the entire industry
I’ve got a tracker and the best upgrade I could do is sell it
You’ve done well with your boat and you did a fine job on you video.
What about running through some weeds? Of if that cable gets stuck on a stick, branch or log. Seems like it could rip the motor off or break the shaft.
Great instructional video. I was a little intimidated on installing my Terrova myself but out of all the videos I watched this one put me most at ease.
Q - You had indicated that you were going to use your garmin transducer and not the transducer on the TM, because 'you wanted more than just sonar'. What did you mean by that? Surface temp? or is there more than just surface temp you were looking for that the TM transducer will not provide?
Down image as well as side image. The TM paired with the garmin only gives you sonar.
I used some high quality led light strips and they melted or something and rubber ran down the insides of my javelin 366fs Made quite the mess
Oh no not good..
Nice. Check my TF video too regarding trolling motor and my upgrades. I screwed my pedal down too...
Thanks for your assistance. Just bought the tournament model TF

What size n lengrh the cable?? Thanks
Excellant video
Good video. But you wear uhhh out in it.
Thanks for the feedback. Thanks for watching.
Some days you just ask yourself why did I get up. Great story. Have you looked at the Dakota boat retriever. I fish alone a lot and I’m looking at possibly getting myself one.
I have researched it some. Could be an option for me. Thanks for watching.
Never lost a boat at the dock like that but did dunk my wife in the lake at a dock when she was 6 mo pregnant. My son is a darn good swimmer now.
Bass Pro is junk
Everyone has an opinion
What length shaft did you get on the Terrova?Thanks
Hello there I have a 2010 bass tracker TXW 175 I was looking at that exact motor and 12 V and was worried about how much power and how long the battery would hold up I was just wondering if you’ve had a chance to put it the test thank you very much for your time
I have stayed out over 5 hours and never ran the battery down.
There are two batteries, one to start the motor that is charged by the motor when you are driving the boat. The other battery is for the trolling motor and I suggest you buy a new trolling motor battery that is the longest lasting battery you can find. $125 and up and charge it every time you are not using it and if you have a depth finder attached to the trolling motor battery it will tell you how many volts are left in the battery. Mine starts out at 13.3 volts and still running even when I get below 12 volts.
Dang right if your in Tn you don’t need them if you know how to fish. Ever caught any topwater walleye?
Not on top water but a few deep water.
Those steps are priceless!! I have the same one on my 2020 Tracker V17. Life saver!!!
A lifesaver!
Any chance you have a link to the rubber grommets you used?

@@easttn.fishingdude4169 Thank you sir!
Excellent thanks
Very sweet upgrades, great video! Would you by chance be interested in selling the front bow cup holders? Very interested if so. Thanks very much and look forward to hearing back. Brian
I think I will keep them.
Whats the biggest wheels do you think would fit on that trailer?
Just took mine out today for the first time, all I can say is I'll never own another boat without one!
Got mine installed a couple weeks ago and it has been the best upgrade for my tracker. Absolute game changer!!
u did it urself?
@@AmazonWebService98 I did.
@@upthecreekyt got a video or photos ? Did you have to drill new holes? Looking on installing it as well which version did u get , trust lb and shaft ?
@@AmazonWebService98 I will make a video on it asap.
@@upthecreekyt thx I just ordered the power drive, money wasn't the factor but biggest pond locally is only 1700 pound, i just needed something to use more as a ''anchor''
That’s a crazy story
Picking up my 175 this weekend, hope to do the exact same mod. Thanks for two great videos.
Enjoy your new boat.
Nice clean setup. However, I don't know if you use spot lock, but if you do it looks like the stiffness of that 1/4" steel bike lock cable will wrap around and interfere with the turning motion of the motor. Has this been an issue?
So far it's worked great. I got the idea from several people on you tube that has done the same setup.
@@easttn.fishingdude4169 Then good idea! I know people that have had to replace cords from being twisted around the shaft while using spot lock. This will never happen to you!
This video was extremely helpful. My terrova just showed up today. I am going to utilize these tips for sure. Thank you! I do have one question. Are there any clearance issues with the bow roller when launching the boat? I notice the terrova sticks out significantly further than the edge.
No issues. Thanks
