2017 Tracker 17.5 ft. boat. How can I remove batteries from it please.

Question edited for clarity. Question moved to Boating. Hello Anonymous Harriet :>D You will have two or possibly 3 batteries. Usually a large car type starting battery for starting the engine. Then two Deep Cycle Gel Batteries, one for the marine electronics, fish finder etc, and another that powers the front bow mounted Trolling motor. You will find them in the deck lockers. Open them, release any tie downs, undo the cables and lift them out for Winter storage. I keep mine in my garage and I put them on a battery minder for 24 hours once a month. I have the Battery Tender Junior, and I put them on a 6 amp car charger before the season starts. https://www.google.com/search?q=Battery+Tender https://www.google.com/search?q=2017+tracker+175+remove+battery The information you gave is is merely the year of manufacture, the maker and the length. They all have model numbers. That would be the key to searching for a manual online. https://www.jdpower.com/boats/2017/tracker-marine/pro-guide-v-175-wt__/32067137/specs and https://www.bbcboards.net/showthread.php?t=969900 ..

The Raymarine ST8002 Smartpilot the unit powers up but does not work when the auto mode is selected. The hydraulic motor does not engage when a course is set. What could be the source of the fault?

According to a post on the Raymarine forum, this error message could indicate an issue with either the steering, the drive unit, the rudder reference unit (if fitted), or the course computer . The post suggests a few tests that you can do yourself to figure out which item is causing the issue. I suggest that you try the following steps: Check the connections between the ST8002 SmartPilot and the other components of your autopilot system. Check the calibration of the ST8002 SmartPilot and the other components of your autopilot system. Check the hydraulic fluid level and the hydraulic pump pressure. Check the hydraulic pump motor and the hydraulic pump solenoid valve. If none of these steps work, I recommend that you contact Raymarine customer support for further assistance.

I have a 1992 Thompson Marine Fisherman 240 350hp 5.7. It is discharging when revved up, goes to 12 volts idle.

Question edited for clarity. Question moved to Boating category. The new Alternator or the Rectifier is faulty or incorrectly wired. When revved up it should be generating about 13.2, to 13.8 volts and supplying to the battery. The 12 volts at idle is probably your battery voltage. https://www.google.com/search?q=Alternator+discharging+battery+when+revved+up ..

Chrysler 55hp Outboard. How to adjust shift linkage in a 1970s 55 horse power Chrysler Outboard please.

The videos below should help. Although the first one is an inboard, the theory is the same. On an outboard, you can disconnect the linkages, verify that the engine is in neutral, then adjust the linkages to fit. Then adjust the slack with the same amount of turns on the adjusters. Lock the settings and that's it.
