    Mercury Tilt Trim Switch

    Have you tried to disconnect the trim switch? the one that was stuck down. See what happens then. Usually to disconnect it is just a connector plug. Once you have eliminated that switch see if it stops. If not it could be your actual trim motor. Someone else may be able to give you some advice.

    Livewell Pump Replacement On 2001 Nitro 185 Sport

    my boat I have to remove the batteries to get access to the cover plate that covers the bilge area. There are screws that hold the cover plate, once I remove those I lift the plate and there you will find the pumps. This might lead you in finding access to your pumps.

    New Z7

    add 1oz mercury quickcare + 1oz mercury quickleen per 5 gallons of fuel at each fillup. Check your trailer tire pressure and hubs on a regular interval. Wax your boat a couple of times a year to keep your gelcoat protected. Oh and go buy some extra fuses in various amps just in case one...

    Nitro Z21

    I test rode the z21 at the classic and it is very nice. Very solid feel on the water. On inspection at the expo the fit and finish is real nice. the deck flooring is reinforced. Hardly any flexing. This is probably the nicest nitro to date.

    Long Year!

    sucks that this happened but thank God it's being fixed. That all aside when you got the boat back with the damaged gelcoat why did they even send it back to you. No one noticed the damage. Were they going to try and put it on you. Good thing you brought it right back. I hope from this...

    A Lot Of Boat I The Water

    sounds right to me. If you are fully trimmed there will be less hull in the water. As you trim down the bow will come down and more of the hull will be in the water.

    How to operate and use the livewell on Nitro 482

    what I would do if you don't want any dead fish is run your aeration on constant. That will fill your live well with fresh water all the time. Then if you have to make a run to a new spot I would put it on recerc till you get to your spot then put back on aeration. If you live in an area or...

    ok I'll check what you ask. I don't have much experience with the parts your talking about. I'll try and find where they are. I'm thinking of changing the water pump at the end of the season. Maybe I could do it sooner. I get a good stream of water out the tell tale. What is the normal...

    HELP! 05 NITRO NX882 Livewell Operation?

    You will have to or at least I had to remove the batteries and unscrew the cover plate that will reveal the bilge area and pumps. Then you can fill your livewell with a hose and once you get the water level past the pump if it's bad you will see water leaking out the pump. It's a pain to do...

    HELP! 05 NITRO NX882 Livewell Operation?

    I hope this will help you a bit. I had an issue with my livewell not holding water. I would fill it and over time it would drop down till about a 1/3 full. Then I would pump it again same story. During the day I would hit the bilge and tons of water would pump out. I figured out that my...

    Nitro steering stiff

    check to see if the cylinder that the motor rotates on is ok. there is usually a zerk fitting for grease. You could start there and put new grease. After that check all your steering mechanisms to make sure things look good. I've seen some you tubes videos on replacing and servicing the...

    "Ladder" to get back in boat Z-6

    You could always tie some type of lanyard to it and see if that will give you the leverage you need to pull it down. My boat has the ladder attached to the jack plate. Pull a pin and the ladder drops.
