Listen to Bob G's advice, I had the same problem with my 90 hp merc. last year and i had to replace all fuel lines with ethanol rated hoses, fuel filter, bulb and have all three carbs rebuilt due to ethanol,I would also recommend using some kind of ethanol treatment in your fuel every time you...

any word on your 2014 nitro asto the changes in the new model

I spoke to a Nitro dealer recently who told me the 2014 z series from Nitro would be redesigned but he didnt have any details other than a 2-4 percent price increase, He also said you should be able to pick up a leftover 2013 for a real good price once the new model is released

The z7 used to come with a 200 hp motor as an option but a couple of years ago they stopped offering it. Maybe they are trying to get more people to buy the z8. I am going to buy a new boat for the 2014 season, I already have a Nitro that I am very happy with but I want to go bigger, if the...

i have the same exact boat, 2005 700lx sc with a 2008 90 hp carbuerated merc. my boat will run 47 mph on the gps at 5500rpm with just me in it and a normal fuel load (1/2-3/4 tank) it came stock with a 12.75 x 21 prop. you may gain a little top end with a ss prop. I hope that helps you out...

the aluminum prop is no more weedless than the original plastic prop in my opinion, it definetly did not work well enough to justify the additonal cost when compared to the standard prop.

i had one on an 80 lb. thrust 24 volt trolling motor and it didn't hurt anything,on the other hand it also didn't make a noticable difference in my trolling motor being anymore weedless. i couldn't tell the difference between the aluminum and the plastic just in price

you have to be trimmed down to get the boat up on plane as it gets up start trimming your motor up until you hit the sweet spot that you mentioned. i have a 2005 700lx with a 2008 90 hp. merc and it came with a 12.5 x 21 prop, 13.75 x 21 sounds a little big on the diameter to me, but there...

in my opinion you cant go wrong with power pro, Its the only braided line i use. Good price, good quality,great performance.I tried suffix a oouple of times and both times i took it off after one day of fishing, lots of wrapping around the tip and just bad performance. go with the power pro

the water at the northern end of the Chessapeake is more freshwater than brackish water in my opinion, there are at least 5 or 6 tournaments out of the North east river and Sassafrass river every weekend from March until October ,The bass fishing on the upper bay is as good as it gets, 20lb...

Thanks Toxic, I think your right a 225 is probably the way to go ,The only reason I was asking is because there is a 2012 leftover z8 with a 200 pro xs already on it, at a dealer near me and they are asking $34,000.00 which I thought was a pretty good price,It does have some options (dual...

If I sent you a picture of the area that got cut out you would not even notice it unless you were looking for it,You can make the hole big enough to work in without "cutting your boat up"

I'm not necessarily looking for speed, If the 200 can push that boat at 65 mph I would be good with that, what I wouldnt be good with is a 20ft. bass boat that costs $35000 and cant get out of its own way. At that length and weight I just wonder if it is underpowered

Thanks for the info ,I may go back and try to get ss/ nuts,bolts and washers on there at some point ,but I think I"ll wait until I have to do it,I dont feel like shredding my arm unless its absolutely necessary

The area that I cut out out already has a hole there all your doing is making it a bit larger so you can reach in and be able to work,It doesnt compromise the strength of the deck in any way that I can see. I did mine over three years ago and have not had any problems. It cant be any worse than...

I have a 700lx, when I replaced the trolling motor I had to take off the plate where the trolling motor plugs in and cut the opening out as big as I could , leave just enough room so that the plate still covers the newly cut hole. its still a pretty tight squeeze but it can be done. when I put...

Yes, I will buy another Nitro, I previously owned a 96 and currently have a 05 and havent had many problems to speak of, Im pretty sure that you could find an unhappy Ranger owner and an unhappy Triton owner if you ask around, with that being said its also hard to justify the extra 10,000 -...

my 90 hp. mercury did the same exact thing, i needed all new fuel lines, fuel ball, fuel filter,and 2 carbs cleaned 1 carb rebuilt. my local certified merc tech said it was from ethanol in the fuel. he actually kept the fuel lines and showed me how they had deteriorated to the point that the...

my 2008 90 hp. mercury does the same thing when the motor is trimmed up . I am pretty sure that in my case it is coming from the oil tank.(bad cap design) it only happens if there is too much oil in the tank. If you fill up your oil tank when the motor is trimmed down it will leak out of the...

spool bearings 3x10x4 I replaced my citicas spool bearings with stainless steel ABEC 7s and it made a world of difference. You can pick them up on E-bay alot cheaper than any of the reel repair shops. They are simple to install. They also sell a 5x9x3 driveshaft bearing that replaces a...
