Pro Team 195 TXW

[195TXW]

After doing a closer inspection of my new boat from one end to the other, I found that Tracker Manufacturing did a poor job cleaning up the aluminum chips that were left from the drilling process in various compartments. Every compartment has loose aluminum chips in it.

Have to get out your and clean them out.

I've heard that before. Those things have to suck to get out of carpet!

I was at bps last week and was looking a tracker. It was one of the short ones but I noticed the same thing and thought it was kinda crazy that they left them in there and didn't clean them. But hey 5 minutes with a shop vac  should take care of that.

Tracker Marine manufacturing must not recognize that as a concern. It sounds as though it's a fair commonly found condition on new boats. I bet it would take someone with a Shop Vac a total of 15 minutes to clean up the Aluminum chips. Although some of  the chips may be imbedded in the carpet.

I did exactly that. The boat is nice a clean now. I was just a little disappointed that the factory lets boats leave there like that.

Love mine! Upgraded TM 80lbs MinnKota makes a big difference!
Rod Locker not so friendly even with length reminder sticker 
AND I just installed the Panther Anchors. Great for the aluminum boats with not much room for the hydraulics needed.  The micro-pole by power-pole, is not strong enough for the weight of the Pro Team 195 TXW.

How well does that manual pole hold you? do you have 1 or 2? I have been looking at those for my 175txw since the wind is bad sometimes here in chicagoland area. would be a nice cheap alternative until i get a talon.

They worked quite good.  I have the front mount and one on each side of the Mercury in back... Overkill I know but I was thinking that with the mount going in-between the motor and the transom it would balance the distance of the motor to the transom with two mounts (one on each side) Call me crazy but that is what I thought.  As I now live off of Lake Altoona they don't grab on to the rock bottom as good as the mud/clay bottoms.  But when I actually put all three anchor poles down (takes a minute that's all) I was seeing very little movement.

Good for you  You hit any mall ponds down there 

[Team KaRu]

No mall ponds yet but I hit the golf course pond here where I am living (Bridgemill) and caught a couple small bass.
