I have a 24 tracker pro 170 how did you reach to bolt this underneath or are they just screws?

What gauge is factory?

I’ve run all day on mine and it’s tough to burn over 3 gallons. Amazing boat at a fraction of the cost. Lots of extra money for gear

How fast a boat runs is real important.

Hey man any issues with the welds cracking without using an aluminum plate ?

You wanted to SHOW it to us, but while wearing it, you NEVER turned around to show us the back. ???? I gave you a thumbs up anyway.

Docking stick

I have 55 lb one works great on my 2020 classic tracker

Hey Jim thinking about a reconditioned motor like yours.. how has the motor worked for you ? Do you like the 12 v power? 👊

Thanks for the video.How have they held up?

Get ethernet wire and link them

Have you had any issues with the front welds cracking ? I know that’s been a big issue for a lot of people with this boat….im asking because I’m getting ready to install one. THANKS

Thanks for the video!

I fish Petaluma and Napa River. I was wanting to upgrade and thought it was cheaper and simpler to upgrade to 12 V Riptide Terra Nova 55 lb. I have a friend who just recently set up his Boston Whaler with one. He loves his but power wise, it's not enough for windy, heavy tide days. So I have a 2020 Tracker Classic XL with a Minn Kota Edge 45 lb. It's fine for most fishing but I like to get the iSpot up grade and really thinking for tidal water and winds I need to get a minimum of 24 volt Minn Kota Riptide Terra Nova 80 lb. They say it's better to have more power than not enough when you trying to stay on the fish. Plus the more efficient use of power feature seems like a big plus. I am not concerned with the wire gauge but if that is a big issue, I would cut a box upfront and run it separate directly to trolling motor. I understand it's not too seriously hard to do but I like that it's "fresh space" and not having to run wiring from back plus add another battery to a crowded space. (I changed 6 to 12 gallon fuel tank.)

Don’t do it the terova is a horrible motor. Difficult to deploy especially the older you get. If you must there is no difference between the power of the 55 or 80 pound thrust. I’m getting rid of mine and get a pull rope type 12V Minn Kota.

They are 136.96 now holy cow they have gone up on the spare tire price

Miss your videos love content very helpful

The bracket should be steel not aluminum.

Take that trailer to a workshop and cut off that useless bent mounting bracket. Then get a solid bracket professionally welded on to the trailer that perfectly fits the ratchet strap housing.

How does it work with the spot lock on?

Really good video, just what I was looking for,, Thanks

Thank you. I've been considering this boat, but have same issue. Solves my problem.

I love the idea of ease of use for some things! But keeping in mind that tie down straps are designed to keep your boat from bouncing on the bunk during transport and not to keep it tied down during an traffic collision I don’t see the benefit of spending the extra cash.

Where did you put your front nav light. Cant see it. Thanks

Excellent!

Dumb question. Lol why not just leave the plug in?

Ordered mine last week, 50hp with the cover, all in + tax and license $18,600 And that's with $2000 off sale.. welcome to 2023!

@Just Jim Time hey so i have another lowrance i want to install in the console. I have to put the new sonar transducer i know how to run that. But what about the power? Do i have to run the power cable all the way back to battery as well?

Where'd you find that phone mount clipped to the wind screen??

How did the 45 inch shaft length work out on the bass tracker! Thanks

Just slightly bend mounting plate inward toward transom then bolt in ratchet handle and you’ll be clear of taillights

Approximately how much did you have to cut off from the bracket?

Do you have an install video for the 93 at the console?

Wish I had bought one back then. The no haggle price plus prep and freight is now about $18,000

How is the pilot holding up as far as towing goes?

I’m getting ready to get the same trolling motor for my 2000 Bass Tracker. I’m going to attempt the install myself. How do you like it?

When I went to install my garmin unit I used the same wires that the Lowrance used (Red/purple) to red and black to black. My unit never came on. Tested it on another power source and it came on. Thought maybe a bad splice, so I respliced it.... still nothing. I know that the Lowrance was working before I cut power and ground. I checked all fuses and everything was good. All of the dash accessories work too, livewell, horn, nav..... I guess I'm just going to run a dedicated wire from the battery.... anyone else have this issue? Driving me crazy.

how did you remove the door for the front compartment ?

I see you have a battery in the front compartment under the seat . is there enough room for 2 ? Did you use the factory wiring to run the charging up from the rear ?

Would the holes for the lowrance transducer line up with the new Garmin mount. Did you drill completely thru the transom. If not then why the silicone

Hi from Turkey Jim, can you make spot locking for your Minn Kota with your Garmin device? I have got Garmin 1223xsv with Airmar SS175M transducer. When I checked the websites and forums about this issue I can't find an answer about it. Can we use Garmin devices for spot locking like Humminbirds with Minn Kota?

Cost me 40 dollars in electricity to run my smoker. Thanks again Joe!!!

Ya I purchased this same pork shoulder. It cost me 75 dollars. Thanks Joe!!!

hey Jim, your videos have helped me out a lot with my Classic. hope you are well. Wondered what you do to winterize your boat? mine stays outside all winter. Im up North.

Nice job, thanks for making this video!

This may be a silly question … but were you able to run both units when you had the stock classic batteries? I’m about to install a 93 at the bow and another 93 at the console. I want to use the stock batteries if possible. I may even add livescope later - which may require a battery upgrade. I’m just not that familiar with it. I’m trying to learn.

Hey there! Just curious, where did you find the intro music from? Thanks a lot!

My trolling motor cables run right through where you mounted the sensor. Do yours run through there? If so has it caused any issues?

nice! I followed your install for terrova on my 170 I was looking for a way to make sure I could remove the motor in the future and that mount is perfect.... BUT I used a1/2 inch thick piece of the black plastic starboard the kind that transom savers are made from (wish I could figure out how to attach a picture but oh well) cut to fit under the mount and motor (bolts go through mount, starboard and under deck) back to the deck cut in line with the black mat on the other side, it adds some stiffness to the deck and keeps the motor from scratching the boat when sliding it back to remove it.... the way it worked out it covered all but one hole, I even used two of the holes to hold the starboard down. I think I may get some of the gator skin stuff to place to the side of it and maybe on the back of the boat as well. -- nice job great idea!
