    What Size Wheel, Fits My 2003 Nitro Trailer?

    I took my trailer/boat to Discount tires and let them do the measurement and order the rim. Their prices were better than others and it guaranteed a correct fit.

    No Mph But Good Rpm

    yep, spun hub. My Z6 was on the showroom floor for a year and the rubber hub spun after I had the boat three months. Same symptoms.

    Just Bought A New Hook 7, But....

    I would suggest the Transducer Shield for the trolling motor mount, if available. I added one to my transducer for my Elite 5 and it has paid for itself in protection of the transducer...tony

    Thanks for all the input. Here's the final on this topic: Bought a new Guest two bank charger, installed, 14 volts on each battery, problem solved. However......When I removed the old charger, I noticed that there were three wires with pig tail connectors coming from the charger that were not...

    Battery Charger Red Light Never Goes Out

    Thanks for all the help. The Guest charger is factory sealed and it doesn't look like I can get into it without causing lots of damage. I disconnected the leads from the batteries and I'm getting 4.5 volts going to each battery. I think I'll order a new charger. Three years for a charger...

    Battery Charger Red Light Never Goes Out

    This set up worked for three years and the charger always went to green light until this month. two bank, 24 volt trolling batteries, 8 amp Guest charger, three years old. Batteries are still connected for 24 volt operation, but each shows 12.84 volts whether the charger is on or off. The red...

    Cleaning Advice: Z Series/Merc

    Got the PureKleen by FedEx today. This stuff works better than any of the boat dealer products I've tried. A fine mist and a wipe with a soft cloth and all the water spots on my black Mercury are gone. The shipping costs made it about $20 instead of $12 for the dealer stuff that didn't work...

    Z6 Front Light/Horn Assembly

    Done! I bought the Perko light mount and "trimmed" the original horn/light assembly so it fit perfect. With the Toyota horn mounted under the panel, I'm ready to fish. Interesting that the 2014 Z6 has a Perko light mount and a separate horn under the dash. I guess Nitro is listening.

    Z6 Front Light/Horn Assembly

    I mounted a Toyota horn under the front bow, but can't figure out how to encorporate the metal light mount into the plastic factory base. All suggestions/photos are welcome. Once I fix the light, I'll cut the light pole and insert a hose section for flexability as suggested...tony

    Z6 Front Light/Horn Assembly

    After carefull measurements, the Attwood is about 1/2" longer than the Nitro factory unit. Also, the Attwood screws are on the ends, but the Nitro unit has end and middle only. Since the Nitro unit fits on an elevated platform that is the exact shape of the horn/light base, I'd need to make...

    Z6 Front Light/Horn Assembly

    Thanks guys. Both suggestions are gratefully accepted. I found the Attwood assembly online last night, but could not find a price or vendor. The email from AirForce was a good start. I found a template for the base, so as soon as time permits, I'll print out the template and see if it will...

    Z6 Front Light/Horn Assembly

    Has anyone engineered a better mount for the front light. If the trolling motor is lifted while the light is in place, it is easily broken. The replacement unit is about $80 because it includes the horn and is only available from Nitro. Has anyone engineered a better unit made of metal? I'm...

    grab bar for Z6

    I'd like to add a grab bar under the glove box in my passenger console. Anybody know where I can buy one to match the one on the side of the passenger seat? Thanks...

    Trailer Tires

    Sounds about right. I replaced the tires on my 2011 Z6 within the first year. I would not buy anymore. I prefer the Goodyear Marathons.

    Z6 Hole Shot RPM's

    I also have a 2011 Z6. Once the prop plugs were correct, it powers up at 3200 rpm. I read somewhere during my research that the high speed jets kick in at 3200 rpm. Comes up on plane good if I fast idle a short distance and power up to 3200 rpm.

    which brand

    I didn't like having the momentary button on the left side on my MinnKota. I went back to the Motor Guide for the right side button and the lighted dial.

    Turning Down a Trolling Motor?

    Great advise and thanks to all. I was out today and almost lost my back deck passenger when I tapped the trolling motor in #1 speed. Too much, too quickly. I'll try the prop modifications. I need a spare anyway.

    Retractable tie downs

    I purchased a bracket at BPS that changes the angle on the trailer mount by 90 degrees. Works great. I like the retractable straps that have a one push lever for release. Works great on my 2011 Z6.

    switching out electronics

    I made the exact switch as soon as I got my Z6. The plugs are the same, the transducers work on either. I mounted the Mark 5 on the front. My only question was the dual range transducer on the Elite 5. Since I'm using the Mark 5 transducer that was already mounted, I'm not sure if I am...
