    Hello fellows looking at a boat and it has a Recessed trolling motor control, never used one, what are the benefits of it. Looks like it’s a trip hazard to me.

    Keeps both feet even instead of standing like Captain Morgan!!
    Lot easier on your back and better for balance.
    You will like it.

    Thanks chuck, it will be my first time ever using one like that. Just ordered me a new tracker today.

    Good deal!!!
    Congratulations.
    What did you get??
    I was at Cabelas in Louisville last week and live 10 minutes from Bass Pro here in Clarksville, In.
    I’m thinking they have a few boats in stock.
    Nothing close to you?
    What’s the wait time?

    today I got my boat, picked it up around 5 pm a 175 tracker tow with a 75 hp mercury, man it feels good to own a boat again instead of begging friends to take you. Really ready to mount my livescope setup on it also, l bought it on Black Friday sale. READY to fish.

    I’ve been hesitant to reply to this thread, but I have the same boat and I can promise you that if you take the strap off before you are in the water, it will tear something up!
    My very first time unloading my Brand New Tracker 175 TXW, buddy tapped the brake going down the ramp and luckily I was close enough to the water ( motor still up ) and it came off the trailer before we new it! Scraped the skep but no major damage. May have taken a 1/4” off of it. I asked the salesman about it and he stated that these boats have one of the best clear coats on the market! I believe him. My boat has been thru some tough stuff ( ran it up on an underwater stump )!

    Don’t unhook until you are ready to start your motor!

    I hope you enjoy yours as much as I have enjoyed mine.

    thank you fellows for the information about the boat, I will not unhook the latch until it’s on the water, thank you again I paid way to much for this boat to damage it at the boat landing.

    I didn't think I would like a recessed trolling motor pedal but I really like it a lot. I fish sitting down, double knee replacements, and I don't think I would be nearly as comfortable without the recessed pedal.

    I stood up all day today and it really helps almost never use the remote for the trolling motor.
