A word of caution, actually a couple ... Water weighs a lot. If you fill your boat up with water below the deck(s) you've doubled or tripled the weight of your boat on the trailer. You are "pushing" the opposite direction that the boat was designed to resist stress and strain. This isn't like having a bilge full of water when the boat is sitting in water because the support is only provided by the contact points on the trailer. You can break the keel, you can punch trailer fittings (not so much with full length bunks like this boat has and you can see the bunks in the video, but seriously think about this if you have rollers) through the hull, the trailer can fail and drop your boat with bunk or roller supports coming up through the hull ... Etc. A boat like this tracker could easily have a ton and a half of water in it before it comes up from the bilge and rises above the deck plates. I'm not saying not to use this method, I'm saying be aware of what you're doing to your boat and trailer. I'm also saying don't walk away and forget that the hose is running because you might come back to a boat shaped like a hotdog bun and a trailer that looks like a pretzel. Also consider that because you're stressing the boat with a lot of weight in a manner it was not designed to handle you might actually create leaks were there were none before by doing this test. Just be careful and don't put a drop more water in that hull than you need to.

You can see the bunks in the video above. It depends on which trailer they put the boat on at the factory and whether or not the boat is on its original factory trailer. Please don't reply to a comment then delete your reply. It just makes you look chickenshit

Idk guys but I need some help. My tracker boat is from 2010 and I bought it brand new. But when I take it fishing I always get water in my boat. Idk from where. Idk if it's from turning the livewell on and getting water in that way? Can anyone help.

I get the same in my 2003 pro team 175.I bought it last year .Bought new drain plugs still get water in bilge area.I just noticed tonight water dripping from the keel.Their is silicone running all along the keel looks like it was done by the factory but not sure.Some of the silicone is missing from where the leak is coming from.

TheIndianscout I kinda figured out that when I turn the live well on it leaks from the connections or the hose is cracked. Might check those as well.

@@Rubo7 Mine leaks when the live well isn't being used I had checked the pump before.I happened to notice it when I leveled the trailer to put the trailer on my hitch.I found some other complaints about leaks from the keel for these tracker boats on some other forums.
