Setting up a network
MN Fisher, First of all thank you for your input and referral. I read the link as you suggested and I think I understand things somewhat better. I guess I thought if I installed a NMEA network, then all 3 items would receive the same info. I guess now I will connect the Elite 7 Ti and the Elite 9 Ti2 together and keep the Garmin Striker Plus 9sv as a stand alone unit. Then I will at least have my Mercury Vessel View data on my smart phone. Do you agree with this set-up?

Setting up a network
Hi Guys, I need some help here please. I have 2 Lowrance units (7Ti and 9Ti) and a Garmin Striker Plus 9sv. If I buy the NMEA network starter kit, can I join all 3 units as a network? Are there other things I would have to buy? If this is possible would my maps on 1 unit show on all 3? Thanks for all of the good help and info. all of you contribute.

Tracker 175 livewell help
I recently bought a 2017 Tracker 175TF with 6.5 hours and everything works perfect. I have never had a livewell and this has two. I read the earlier posts and now I'm confused. Front switch has a drawing of water coming in and says Fill & aerate. Switch is marked Timer, Off and Continuous. Aft switch drawing shows water coming in and out (like a circle). It also says Fill & aerate. Switch is also marked Timer, Off and Continuous. To the right of the switches the panel is marked Aerate between the 2 switches. Any clarification will be greatly appreciated.

To buy or not to buy?
I am interested in buying a used Tracker 175 Pro Team 175 TWX or 175 TF. I have someone in our area that is considering selling me a 2013 175 TF with the 60hp Merc, 70 lb push trolling motor, 3 batteries and charger, 2 Garmin 7" fish finders, trailer with brand new tires and spare and towing cover. It is in immaculate condition as he is the original owner, it's stored in side and has less than 50 hours total. I am an occasional fisherman and would use it mainly on our local lakes.I appreciate any and all feedback. We are talking about $10,000 - $10, 500. Should I make it mine or look for a little newer unit?

Trolling motor: 30 lb. vs. 55 lb. ?
I'm new to the forum, but this is exactly why I joined. Lots of well informed guys with a passion for what they do and willing to share their knowledge with others. In short, I have an older 16' aluminum Tracker with a 35lb. bow mount Minn Kota. On a nice calm day it performs well, but when the wind and current kicks up, it leaves a lot to be desired. I also agree with buy what you can afford and you'll be glad when you do need it.

Difference Between Tracker Pro 175 TF & 175 TXW ?
I appreciate everyone's knowledge and information, you can tell they are all interested and knowledgeable on the boats. My reason for this post is that I am interested in buying a used one of either configuration and I came to the same conclusion ... the difference being the front deck area. I have someone in our area that is considering selling me a 2013 TF with the 60hp Merc, 45lb push trolling motor, dual batteries and charger, 2 Garmin 7" fish finders, trailer with brand new tires and towing cover. It is in immaculate condition as he is the original owner, it's stored in side and has less than 50 hours total. We are talking about $10,000 - $10, 500. Should I make it mine or look for a little newer unit? Thanks for everyone's input !
