I had a 2002 640lx with Mercury 90HP 2 stroke. Was still running great when I sold it. When you start it you should hear a beep letting you know the warning system is working. I did forget once to add oil and although not completely out I got beeps letting me know I was low. Filled it with...

Remy, No worries. I've got to make the same research for adding an external transducer to have my system more capable. The one thing I've seen are these mounting plates that attach to the hull with 3M adhesive and you mount the transducer to that rather than drilling into hull. I think I will...

Perfect age, stay with it and I'm sure he will. Dad took us starting around 8yrs old for me and 51 years later I'm still hooked. Good luck with the new boat and best wishes for you and yours sharing time together, its what it is all about!

Remy, I think the Z17 and Z6 are similar, I haven't confirmed it yet but I believe in the Z17 the rear in hull transducer is under the HPDE panel the trolling motor batteries are mounted on in the center rear compartment. Does it look like your trolling motor battery is mounted on a black...

Finally got it done this year!!! When I got my Z17 4 years ago (can't believe that long), I really went with minimal options to keep my payment down. Only addition previously was a Hook 5/GPS on bow. I realize not super high end stuff here but staying on budget I've now got a usable 7"...

Welcome to the board Ed and congrats on the boat! I've got a z17 but never really questioned fittings. I think the transom lower screened small is live well pump inlet and lower small non screened in drain (you must install manual plug on inside livewell drain unless you got optional valve...

Did you reach out to nitro customer service? They sent me a diagram years ago for my 2002, I think I just called them.

I have a Z17 and have not. I came from a 640lx - 90hp with SS prop and that handled crazy good. I'm currently getting used to the NFB steering clutch feel and the prop slip you get on a 'larger' rig.

I used my Z17 nav lights on a recent trip but forgot to try it. I believe it should just dim the instrument lighting by a set amount.

Great to hear your are doing well Fishin1.0!!! I may have to explore down that way one of these days, haven't been to any lakes in that area.

Thanks Jerry, I received a B.A.S.S. DVD of 2019 a few months back which I didn't know had St Johns footage with Clunn until I watched last week. He did great even though the grass was gone and I've been watching a bit of this year to note some new spots as well! Tight lines!

Welcome and that's one fine rig! Enjoy fishing with your son, fantastic to hear you are fishing with him and about the tournaments.

Jerry, Thanks. You are correct, FWC sprayed the Hydrilla in Istokpoga for years and it changed the lake. Doing some research it is the most treated lake by FWC invasive plant control program. That's a bummer but I learned they are doing that all over Florida lakes! Sampson is a nearby lake...

Vic, Thanks. I've been fishing the St Johns between Shands Bridge to Palatka for over 20 yrs. Can be tough to find them sometimes but pay attention to tides which make a big difference. We had an eel grass die off due to 2017 Irma hurricane but I see some signs its coming back, fishing the eel...

Wanted to drop by and say Hi to everyone! Can't believe I've been on this site for 17 years. Been tough the past few years, I got a new Z17 early 2108, got to use it a few times and then was hit with health issues. In treatment rest of 2018 and recovery 2019. Finally got to take a trip to...

From what I understand all the Nitro Bass Boats will have wood in their transoms. The wood is laminated inside the fiberglass. I sold my 2002 640lx last year and that transom was sold as the day I got the boat in 2002. Have it inspected if you are really concerned but you really should signs...

Chris, congrats man!!! That is awesome. This spring is nuts for me as I have some health issues I am sorting out and still working but if I can get down to those lakes in your area end Feb/early march I'll send ya an invite for a ride!!! Concerning the $1000 gift card, I had no idea of that...

Awesome Chris - glad you have made your decision. I really like the Z17. Concerning the wheels, I didn't do the upgrade and mine look like the ones you posted but painted gray & no center cap (same as website pics). I did see the upgraded wheels on two Z17's that were at a dealer in...

Hey Chris, here are a few from the other day on the water and then some from the garage showing the area around the starboard side of motor. The ladder is on the other side but let me know if you want pictures on that side. I really didn't get many options on the boat other than the dual...

Hey Chris, as I'm sure you know, its not an option you can factory order. I don't have any experience with power poles but if there is anything you need measured or picture(s) of the boat, its right here in my garage. I'm real happy with the command thrust motor and dual console options and I...
