Its a good thing you dont have a 40hp Merc. I tryed to do mine today. Got the top 2 coil pacs out and replaced the plugs but couldnt get to the last bolt on the bottom pac. The inline filter lives below the bottom pac and is not accesable. Totaly defeated. If i can ever get it out, it will be getting relocated.

The 40 set up is more of a pain for sure.

@@RFishingtxI did the full service minus the impeller this year but the only thing i couldnt do was that inline fuel filter, i have the 40hp. And that filter lives below the bottom coil pac, with zero clearance. The coils and the mounting rail need to be removed to access it. Only you cant access the bottom bolt on the lower pac, and if you did put it back in , it would be a nightmare, it has standoffs behind it,; that the bolts go through.

Hi there. Greeting from Tasmania Australia. I noticed your engine data was on your phone. What app was you using? Does it show information such as motor history when trolling/ travelling along etc. I have the info showing on my gauge however having the app could be useful if you want more data. Would be a handy app if you could input oil changes/services etc. Cheers mate

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.

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?

@RFishingtx 4 ай бұрын

@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.
