Launch & Load Tracker 175 Boat Alone 2
Вставка
- Опубліковано 22 тра 2015
- Launching and loading from 2 different boat ramps. How I connect the ropes and bumper guards to the boat cleats. I'm not the best at steering the boat to the trailer, but what I have learned is you have to be somewhat aware which way the motor is turned when approaching the trailer. Especially, if you have to make a 90 turn to boat ramp. The slowest speed of the 175 seems a little bit to fast, but that may be just me. I also added guide-ons to the middle of the trailer in the hopes that it would help line up the boat on ramps that are not level, but I found that it did not help. 5/31/15 UPDATE: I REMOVED THE MIDDLE GUIDE-ONS as I rammed the right one this past weekend when loading and it shifted. Just be sure the rear guide-ons are out of the water and that will help the most as stated in first video. Happy boating!

I never take the safety winch strap off until the trailer hits the water. Nothing like watching your boat slide onto the boat ramp.
Forgot to tell you I put them on my PWC trailer as well. What a difference. My daughters now load the boat and the jetski.
Just got a 15 175 txf....1st boat...this was helpful....thanks
Nice bit of eye candy at the end. Yes, I saw you looking.......;)
Always trim up to powerload so you don't make a hole for trailers to into. Thanks.
Nice job!
What I've found is that you will get your boat's strakes to center inside of the bunk boards a lot easier if, right before you hit the bunks, you transfer your weight more towards the centerline of the boat. Right butt cheek on the edge of the seat usually is enough. If I don't do this, the left strake tends to ride up on the bunk, which means you have to push it back off to re-center once you have the winch strap on (or you have to re-dunk it if you don't notice it before you pull completely out).

Climbing around the bow of the boat and on the trailer tongue with flip flops on is not too safe.
Nice, I have the same rig and do pretty much the same thing
Tracker makes a step with pole that mounts to winch to help get in and out when loading or just getting in. Has a pole to hold onto to help us old people and not have to get way down and slip off the trailer tong. Sells for like $177.
Loved the babes at the end
Thanks for taking the time to make the video. Quick question, where did you purchase your pedistal for your front butt seat?
is this a how to or how not to??
Hey Stevo, I fish calero and launch out of lazy M too. I wanted to asked how have you like the tracker? Im looking at boats and the 175 is a pretty good looking deal to get me on the water. Not to much but has the features I'm looking for. Also How does it tow? Let me know, thanks Stevo.
Steve - Im looking at the 2016 Pro Guide V175 with the 90HP Merc. What size outboard do you have and can you tell me what you're experience has been like so far with your tracker.. the good, the bad, the ugly.. thanks
I had the same side poles on my trailer. Every time one of my kids would use the boat they would bend something. I replaced the with the easyguide system and that problem has been eliminated. I cut put the trailer in deep enough to float my boat all the way to the stop - no more power loading and no more than one or two cranks on the winch. These things are amazing and they won't damage anything or break
best part of video was the girls should have done a close up
Was that first lake, Lake Berryessa? Second one looks like somewhere in the Delta?
I believe your biggest problem was backing in to far . And make sure the trailer is straight in the water lined up with the truck when loading. Practice practice and practice some more on backing the trailer. A little turn moves the trailer a lot just make sure it’s straight in the water. It just something that comes to you after doing it awhile and make sure you use the emergency brake every time. Happy fishing 🎣 👍👍 good video
