Looking for assistance with Mercury Tracker 40 hp outboard

Thanks, Colisa That's a 3 cylinder, 966cc, motor, not 4. With the Tracker graphics on the cowling, it's probably the same year as the boat - give or take one year. I don't think a lot has changed since it was built. I used to own the same boat - a little newer - and had the 40hp ELPTO motor. Keep the carbs clean and it will run like a champ. I wish I never sold it. I've been looking for a new aluminum bass boat for a while now. I can't decide on the brand or the motor I want. I do miss freshwater fishing. Tracker Team 175 is a great entry boat for just kicking around small lakes and even medium lakes. Oddly, it's not tippy at all - you think it would be, but it's not. Another that I like a lot is the Tracker Panfish http://www.trackerboats.com/boat/?boat=2831 My dealer has taken on the Starcraft series of boats and I like those a lot - fairly cheap too considering - slightly more rigged and out the door than Tracker - like maybe $100 or so. And to tell the truth, I really liked the Princecraft Yukon I sold Don - that was a sweet little boat - plenty of interior room, it was set up to fish from, very stable and pretty quick for it's size. Very easy to load. That's one boat I wish I hadn't sold - especially to a Canadian. :) NOTE TO WHINERS: That last was a friendly dig at Don - I have no quarrel with Don, do not intend to have one and will refuse to have one - I like him - he treats my former boat right. For a Canadian. :) He left the plug out. Kill him. |
