Hydraulic fluid is most likely low. Refill it, then work the motor up and down about four or five times. Recheck and refill reservoir. Run up and down several times until you get a smooth up and down motion. Recheck /refill. Any air in the line will work it's way out on it's own. Be sure to look for any leakage.

here is the requested....

It's a little vague . What's the problem ? Over heating , fuel in oil , water in oil? Over heating will be a water pump problem , water in your oil is a bad head gasket, fuel in oil is passing rings . Honda's are great engines but they must be broken in properly .

If you go by the numbers it looks like December 1940 If its an old one this sounds about right.

Congratulations

Those systems have an injector + mechanical pump... check the fuel line to see if its getting a restriction . And the filters.. If not there check the float bowel located on the right side ( standing behind the boat looking forward. It's located under the air intake...if it isn't allowing enough fuel in you'll stall. Honda is a good engine but the engineers got lazy when they left half of the system efi and half mechanical.

haven't line up the selector shaft with it in neutral pull the leg off and do it again

The first things to check are the Thermostat and the Impeller. Also make sure there are no blockages in the water intake. Have you checked the lower unit oil? If you need further help, I’m available over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/saam_2816e29ba1070532

the term dirt dobbers is not known out side your area so you will have to give a detailed lo what they are so that an answer can be given also when you say inner workings are you referring to the cooling system , the sump or the fuel system

It's normal if you remove the cable harness, the alarm goes off. Check your engine oil level. Disconnect the engine temperature sender. If it then stops sounding, replace the sender. Does the alarm still sounds when the engine is running? Does the engine has had his maintenance? Maybe you can post the exact engine type, so we can look for the exact alarms wiring system...

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 ..
