I know particularly well that others who have done this might argue: “he didn’t do this right”, or “I did it this way and didn’t go through all that BS!” Regardless, anything I’ve EVER posted here has never been posted as “the written gospel.” I just know what works, what gives satisfactory results, and I can’t be referred to as a backwoods hick due to anything you’ve viewed….. So enjoy! Take t...

I bought this boat over a decade ago, and it’s sat. It’s a long story I won’t bore folks with, but regardless, I have to “refurb” it….. Are you along for the ride???

OMC, and the infamous UFI ignition.
Просмотров 90Год назад
Not one of OMC’s better ideas, and they were FULL of good ideas (see FICHT, this, and buying up a bunch of boat companies☠️). The “problem child” ignition, a little back story about it, and why they’d fail.
Ahhhhhh….. The life of the boat mechanic….

Tracker Targa V18, almost done!
Просмотров 256Год назад
I have to install the tie bar between the 150 and the 9.9, and affix the control box. Other than those two things, and giving it a “good ol crubbin’”, it’s ready to roll out of the shop. We’ll finish this up with a completed video once the scrubbing job, and the other two previously mentioned things are addressed. Stay tuned, my friends!

Enjoy, possibly learn something, or feel I need kicked off of You Tube. LOL! Stay Tuned, my friends!

A brief video about installing a kicker outboard onto a Tracker Targa model that didn’t originally come equipped for a kicker. I give a quick rundown on what you’d be in for if you decide to install a kicker on one of these boats that wasn’t originally ordered with a kicker. Fun times, my friends! Fun times indeed!
