1989 TRACKER PRO 17 W/ 40 HP JOHNSON

I got the PT-130 installed and everything works fine. I wired the controls into the throttle and the bow, then cut out a hole for a marine rocker swith on the motor. All I need to do now is drop the motor down about an inch so the prop will quit blowing out so much.

besides adding onto the deck I installed a new tilt & trim unit on my Tracker

Go to Bass Pro and check out the CMC PT-130. I put it on my 89 40hp Johnson and it works great. Costs around $600. Took about an hour to install. Trims fast

Well the wife and daughter went out of town this weekend so we went fishing. If you have kids get a carrier for your back, it worked out great. He was in there for about 3 hours and no crying. We slammed crappie on saturday, shot guns on Sunday morning, and went bass fishing Sunday afternoon. It was a perfect weekend.

I have the same boat but the 1989 model. Just put a power trim on it since it should give a little more speed and beats having to hoist that 40 out of the water. Good fishin!

Yeah I'll try to remember my camera. Should have quite a few pics since there will be a couple projects that day. We are also adding a CMC PT-130 power tilt & trim. The console is just screwed into the floor using self-tappers, then just slide it back to where you want it.

I am extending the front deck on my tracker and was wondering what I should use to seal the wood. I was thinking thompsons or something like that. Thanks for the input.

I am going to extend the deck out on my 1989 Tracker this weekend. By moving the console back 2" we will be adding almost 14" to the front deck. Enough for two people to stand up there and pitch without bumping into each other.

Try the new Quantum Burst $70

I'd start out with some 3M rubbing compound to get rid of dead paint and small scratches, then get a good carnuba wax like meguair's. It may take a few coats but should help out quite a bit.

Google did the trick for me and now I am addicted. If the boss knew how much time I spend on here he'd flip. Keep it up guys

I am thinking about upgrading from the ACE Hardware brand of 2-cycle and gear oil that the previous owner used in my boat and switching to Royal Purple. The motor is a 1989 so I am wanting to extend its life as much as possible. Thanks for your input and if you have any other suggestions please send 'em my way.

I have heard that Bandit cranks are some of the truest running cranks straight out of the box. Anybody else use them and what are your suggestions.?

I have to say Gene Larew
