    New member, new owner of an '05 189 sport

    I only use a small percentage of my trim also. It’s the nature of these hulls and the weight distribution. Another thing that helped was installing a hydrofoil on my outboard. I’ve had no porpoising since. The best upgrade was the 4 blade prop.

    Congrats on the new boat. I put a Mercury 4 blade prop on my Z19 Sport and it made improvements in both hole shot, low speed pulling and top speed.

    Are these Haynes Manuals worth the money?

    I’ve never bought one for an outboard but they we’re well worth the money for vehIcles.

    Leave My Fish Finder on the Boat Between Trips?

    I do think I’ve ever taken mine off and I’ve never had any problems. If I was in town I’d probably take them off just to keep them from being stolen.

    ZV19 trailer steps are useless

    The steps on my Z19 Sport are the same. They work great when I take off the trolling motor. I’m surprised we haven’t skinned a shin yet.

    Need a Butt seat post for my 2021 Z19 Sport

    They should all be the same standard size.

    Need a Butt seat post for my 2021 Z19 Sport

    A quick google search found several. Here’s one that’s adjustable height: https://www.wholesalemarine.com/swivl-eze-lockn-pin-power-pedestals/?gclid=CjwKCAiA3L6PBhBvEiwAINlJ9Egx9dyoJtLvwPEO6kvd2gpvutlTaSH_xqx3l72yEzE4vqY6ws305xoCLecQAvD_BwE

    Would side guides work on your trailer?

    2022 z19 sport hard steering

    My ‘20 model doesn’t steer like that. Sounds like a trip to the dealer for some adjustments are in your future.

    2008 189 Sport Trolling Motor

    I’ve never had a cable controlled trolling motor that would track straight at higher speeds without keeping my foot on it. I’m using an Ipilot on my Sport. That’ll solve your problem.

    Step /Re entry ladder

    I did a quick google search for “bass boat boarding ladder” and saw one similar to the one I had. There were a few that came up in my search that bolt to the motor mount that looked like they’d work great with no drilling.

    Step /Re entry ladder

    I installed one on the back of a Charger bass boat back in ‘96. Highly recommended. I don’t remember the brand but it was a 2 step that bolted on the top of the back edge and about halfway down the back.

    2001 Nitro 188 Fish & Ski setup

    I can get 55 if the water is right. Easily 52-53 mph Before the hydrofoil I could barely keep 15 mph and the bow was still high. The hydrofoil brought the bow right down. The 4 blade prop brought my speed down to 12-13 mph. I’d definitely change the prop to a 4 blade then get the hydrofoil...

    2001 Nitro 188 Fish & Ski setup

    I put a 4 blade prop and a SE Sport 300 Hydrofoil on my Z19 Sport. It jumps out of the hole and I can stay up on plane as low as about 12 mph. I stay hooked up in the turns when swinging a tube. I rarely run wide open but I didn’t lose any top speed switching to a 4 blade prop.

    Boat Cover 2021 Z19 Sport

    I bought the factory Nitro cover when I bought my Z19 Sport. It ratchets down tight and is trailerable.

    BUNK BOARD REPLACEMENT - TIPS WELCOME!

    Does anyone have any experience with using a manufactured bunk board like these? https://www.ultimatebunkboards.com/ I‘ve been thinking about going this route when it’s time but I’m not sure what it’ll do to the bottom of the boat without any carpet.
