    Prop and motor mount height question.

    The Mercury motor that was on my pontoon boat had a longer shaft built just for pontoon boats.

    2008 189 Sport Trailer Wheels

    If you go to any reputable tire dealer they will know what wheel and tire would fit and suit your trailer. I went to Les Schwab and they had an aluminum wheel that looked like it came right out of the Nitro factory and tires to match for less than $400 mounted and balanced. Went on a Nitro Z6...

    fish and ski

    My Javelin came with an extension like what you're showing and it worked fine, however, I still wasn't pleased with it when I laid a couple of rods down and the trolling TM, etc. it got a bit cramped for me.

    fish and ski

    I've owned a couple of fish and skis and honestly, I was disappointed in them both. One was a Javelin and the other was a Reinell. I'm an avid bass fisherman and the smaller front deck just didn't cut it. I decided, at least in my case, it would be better to use a fishing boat to pull a tube...

    14" Nitro 750 Nx Wheel Skins

    I bought aluminum wheels for my trailer for $100 apiece. Lighter and no rust problems.

    Prop question

    I had a stainless steel prop on my Nitro z6 with a 90HP Mercury Optimax - no problem.

    Dead forum?

    I can't be the only Nitro owner affected by this virus - my wife lost her job of 30 years so the boat had to go. I have cancer so I haven't left my property in months because of a compromised immune system. Golden years sure aren't supposed to be lived this way! At least the fish are safe!

    Trailering With Cover On/off

    I agree with the other comments that you shouldn't travel with the cover on unless it is a custom cover made for it to be on the boat while trailered. I found that unless you put a towel over the trolling motor, etc. the wind will "buff" the paint right off. Humorous story - I took my boat to...

    Ranger 1880 Vs (vs) Nitro Z7 Sport (or) Z19 Sport

    It kind of sounds like you already made up your mind on the Ranger. I have a Nitro Z6 and love it. Sure I would like to have a Ranger but there is no way I can justify almost double the cost. The motors are the same. My boat handles rough water really well although I haven't had it in as big...

    2003 Lx 750 Problems?

    I have found that you don't have to make a big adjustment on your trim tab to make a big difference. I have also heard of this happening when the motor isn't mounted dead center. Just a thought. After buying a used boat one time I had similar problems and no matter what I did I couldn't...

    Trailer Lights

    I have a 2009 Nitro Z-6. I had to replace the light bar on the trailer with three lights on it. I went to the Nitro dealer, 35 miles away, and they sold me a light bar that they had in stock for trailers (universal style), they were LED's and I got them to work. The problem is that they don't...

    90hp Mercury Water Pressure

    I don't know why it is so difficult to find the correct pressure but, it is. I looked all over and I did the same thing that you did replacing everything and the pressure was the same. I was even going to buy a new gauge until I found an article that gave the correct pressure. Unfortunately I...

    2008 Z6 Relocate Trolling Batteries

    I have a jack plate on my boat with a 90 HP Optimax and get 43mph on GPS. In my opinion if the trolling motor batteries were mounted in the stern all the weight would be in the back of the boat and you would never be able to make it on plane.

    2008 Z6 Relocate Trolling Batteries

    I have a 2009 Z6 and the trolling motor batteries are up front. I don't agree with one of the other posts about it riding better with the batteries closer to the motor. I believe the reason the batteries are placed up front is to help the boat get on plane quicker. Kind of like when I had a...

    Why?

    I am a retired Air Traffic Controller. I took all the stress and working on weekends, holidays, etc. so that I could retire at an early age. I retired at 50 years and 2 months old! The bad news is that when I turned 51 I found out that I had cancer. Eleven years later I am still here and am...
