    640 Nitro Motor Options ?

    Hi Guys I have a 2007 Nitro 640 2007 year, I have a 90hp Mercury 2 stroke on it. Not the Optimax but the model just before it came out.

    Hull cleaning

    Yup, your feeling is correct, it stays in a slip from May to Oct 1. I bought a product called Aqua -Tek Mega Clean from my local boat seller so I see how it goes. Lots of elbow grease involved I supposed. thanks

    Boat cover question

    I have the nitro cover that came with my 640, I believe it is a "trailer cover". It doesn't snap on. I use two 1" dowels cut to fit ( about 18" long ) in the front and rear seat mounting holes. These fit into a 2 1/4" PVC plumbing pipe that runs the length of the boat. This effectively...

    Anchor

    One that fits in the storage compartment under the passenger seat. I had the boat a year before I found out it was there. The previous owner left me a nice anchor in there.

    Tach reset ?

    Thanks for that tip. If it works, it's an easy fix. I'm no longer up at the lake but I'll go up mid-week to try it out. I'm only 5'5" , 160lbs and don't know how anyone larger can fit under the dash to poke around.:lol:

    Proper starting procedure

    I have the same engine as well and follow what Mike does but with the fast idle advanced just a bit. Mine never starts first time without the throttle being advanced. Once warmed up the engine fires up right away.

    First bass boat

    Thank Greg, I didn't know about the trim trick. I am as well as the poster just trying to get the timing right when you blip the throttle to stay ahead of the wave.

    Side Imaging Placement on Z7, got it perfect

    Yes, clarification with pics would be great. I recently bought the Hummingbird 798 CI HD and will have it installed in the spring so any tips would be helpful. Gary

    Hotfoot

    Well now that you explained it ... seems rather obvious LOL thanks for that. I am going to have my Hummingbird 798 installed at the marina in the spring so I will ask about having this done.

    Hotfoot

    Ok I searched, honestly I did but I confess I am new to these types of boats. I have a Nitro 640 but all my prior experience was with your typical 14 ft fishing boat. So what is a hotfoot and what does it do?

    What towing capacity do I need for a Nitro 16' with 90hp Merc

    Thanks, I don't want to be under powered. I towed this rig with my Honda Element with the 4cyl 2.4L engine and it was barely manageable.
