r/Bassboats

Picked up my first boat a couple of weeks ago. 1990 Bass Tracker Pro 17. Console switches needed a rewire, but other than that, and the carpet, everything works. I haven’t had to run the bilge pump once, yet, and haven’t seen a single bit of water in the hull after a day out. The 60hp Johnson 2-stroke is a little finicky, and I plan on trying to get it consistently running in the winter. I also plan on entirely redoing the decking, and carpet as well. Honestly, aside from the fact that it’s a little sketchy in rough water, I couldn’t be happier. It’s comfortable, and can get into some really skinny water.

Picked up my Pheonix 921 today!

Been running a motor mate for a bit with our Yamaha 225 sho. It should mate with the nuts shown. Keep having issues with it bouncing off on big bumps on the road and it’s fucking up the lower unit in addition to not protecting the hydraulics at all. Anyone have any suggestions? We have been strapping it down with limited success. Looking at the beatdown and dd26 mounts but have had issues in the past with ram mounted savers wrecking the seals on the rams.
