Hello,

I’m looking at removing the seat at the bow of my 2014 Tracker pro team 175 txw.

Tried finding videos or instructions on how to do so and can’t find anything. My thinking was that I could simply twist it off using a tool or my hands, but I have no had no luck thus far.

My plan is to remove the whole pole if possible, I want to have a clear front deck. Any help is appreciated

I definitely don’t own a boat but I’m very confident in finding resolutions for issues. I do this a lot with my full time job at an insurance company.

Based on your comments, it doesn’t sound like you have tried these options.

1) If it was me, I would 100% call a Bass Tracker service center first. Someone should know how to remove that piece. 2) If not, then I would call a Bass Tracker dealership. Someone there should definitely know how to remove that and if not, they should know someone who does.

If those options fall short, then I would try and call another boat service center. Just because it’s not a Tracker service center doesn’t mean they haven’t worked on Trackers. You could also call any boat marina. Doesn’t cost you ANYTHING to ask someone a question. 😉. And if they are good people, they would love to help you.

It’s just like a car dealership. They can work on multiple manufacturers models, except for other manufacturers warranty work, so they will have that experience and know how. Years ago I worked at a car dealership in sales and service. Between the two areas, we could get a lot of answers for a lot of questions.

I would try these options first before you take a SAWZALL to it. 🤪

Hope this helps you out. Good luck!!

I appreciate your reply! I have a bass tracker dealership 5 minutes away from me and I’ve asked them plenty of questions since owning this boat lol.

I’ll probably stop by tommorow and ask them about this.

Thanks!

If anyone runs into a similar issue.

I ended up using a pipe wrench and wd-40. The pole was threaded on so I just had to give it some strength and it came off, no issue
