Faulty Swing Away Trailer Pin
Просмотров 4186 месяцев назад
If you purchased a White River Marine Group boat, it’s likely your swing away trailer has the problematic pin with the plastic handle. These handles are prone to failing and should be replaced. #fishing #boat #trailer #Trackerpro #bassboat #whiterivermarine #tracker #trackerboats #trackerclassicxl

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.

Just wondering if you considered the 175 TXW, or if due to limited storage space you had to go with the Pro 170?

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.
