    Interior Hull problems

    Sorry to hear about your Z7 issues, hopefully they will take care of it. I had a problem with my previous Nitro that the dealer all but said "handle it yourself" with Tracker. I started with customer service and worked my way up the ladder until I found the guy in charge. After being told...

    Z7 tied to dock

    The Nitro cover fits very tight and would be fine for keeping the weather off it. The problem is it fits around the back end and would be in or close enough to the water to stay wet most of the time.

    tracker boat / trailer problem

    If the bow drops that fast, you're backing the trailer to far in the water and floating the boat while its still hooked up.

    New Boat

    Max is 90hp. Website says 26-28 mph with a 50hp. IMO you will not be happy with a 50hp.

    Pass side console removal on 2008Z7

    In 2008 the pass console was "fixed", but that doesn't mean you can't take it out. Just take out the bolts or screws and remove it. If it's thru bolted with nuts on the inside and the nuts spin when you turn the bolts, you're going to have to find a small skinny guy to fit inside the rod...

    Underpowered signs?

    I had a Z6 with the 115. It was okay, but no rocket ship. With full livewells, gear, full of fuel and two people you will not like the performance of the 90. You can go with a lower pitch prop to get some power, but you would trade off top end. An underpowered boat is no fun and as you own...

    Improper readout on gas gauge

    The Z7 tank has a sump in the middle that holds several gallons. When the side of my tank looks empty I still have 1/4 tank left according to my Smartcraft gauge.

    Push-button Start Nitro Z-7

    I haven't tried a push button start in a boat but I'm sure it could be done, you also could move the key switch to a different location. I'm tall and I wish I had a couple more inches of leg room in my Z7. I do have a tilt helm, it really helps me getting in and out of the drivers seat.

    jack plate

    I started with 6" and then added 2" spacers for a total of 8" on my Z7/200. I think it works well, but I do wonder what more setback be like. If you do go more than 8" be sure to check your hoses and cables to see if they are long enough. What brand of pump are you looking at?

    Z9 console install part - beggin for help

    I don't know about a Z9, but I put one in an 08 Z6. We just held it in place and drilled 1/2" holes, then used SS bolts and the largest fender washers we could find. We taped the nut and washers to a stick to get the last nut on the furthest bolt back on the side. It worked great and was...

    z6 2008 nitro merc 115

    This has been discussed a lot since 08. Do a search for Z6 "leaning" and search "all posts". Then read posts around 08-09 you will find some info on this. It was a issue with the 08 Z6.

    Breaking in 150 Optimax Pro XS on 2011 Nitro Z 7

    Keep it trimmed down all the way to keep a load on the motor.

    smartcraft-Lowrance

    Doug1003 Like you I wanted a bigger screen and I wanted it in the dash. Nothing against HB, I went with an HDS 8 because it was the biggest screen I could fit in the dash and keep the factory look. With what new Mercury engines cost I will never have one with out a Merc Monitor. If your...

    The Merc Monitor was not factory installed I installed it when I installed the HDS 8. Electronics are something that you can save some money on by doing it yourself.

    smartcraft-Lowrance

    It is expensive to get it all going, but it works great. It has already saved me once. My WP dropped for just a moment while coming off a plane, indicating a problem with poppet valve. I would have never noticed it with just a WP gauge. The HDS info screen has several layouts and you can...

    smartcraft-Lowrance

    I'm not 100% sure, but I don't think you can plug a Smartcraft cable directly into an HDS unit.
