    Props

    Bobby, everything has pretty much been covered by all on this topic. A very good you tube video is available on weight distribution. I am running a larger hp engine on my Z20, I have the ProXS 225 on my boat. As hole shot was mentioned I will mention mine. I have distributed the weight...

    Down sizing blues ... Z21 in a garage

    I can relate to the tight fit, I lost my pictures recently but very much as seen above from Jim. I turn engine fully towards the starboard side, I used my grinder with cutter blades and cut two of the lower ribs on the garage door which accommodate the trolling motor and tongue below the winch...

    Can I trailer with cover on?

    Great idea in protecting the windshields. The noodles they use for swimming also work well.

    New Z20 Owner

    I have a Z20, Larry is right, but I have to pull the spiguet out on both wells then hit the recirculate buttons on your dash to pump out, Push spiguets back in for normal and recirculating operation.

    Hi to Everyone

    I live in the Villages and fish the Harris Chain regularly. I belong to the Lake County Bassmasters club and we do fish Toho a couple of times a year. My interest would be an education on how to fish the Toho hydrilla? I have been fishing in an area below the gap or cut, fishing the grass and...

    Transom Warranty

    I have the Nitro Z20 Pro with a 225 ProXS on it, I ordered this boat through a local dealer and it came with the trailer to engine transom stabilizer, where the stabilizer contacted my lower end on the engine it began to wear the paint and wore it down to primer. I repaired it myself with the...

    Dual 10ft Talon or Blade’s on a Z21?

    I have 2 - 10' Talon's on my Z20, glad I do, one nice feature is that the Talon' have a 3 stage blue led lighting system at the top as well as a 3 stage clear or white lights. This casts light onto the rear deck and is also a nice accent on my boat as it is blue and I have blue led lights under...

    Jack Plate

    I have an Atlas hydraulic jackplate, I replaced the manual with it. It does provide you with options not achieved with a manual. As mentioned raising and lowering in shallow water conditions is one. I have not found it beneficial in increasing speed, it certainly puts a lot of emphasis on hole...

    MERCURY MARINE VESSEL VIEW

    I also have the Vessel View on my 2019 ProXS, it does take a lot of the guesswork out of the maintenance periods and a more accurate account beyond gages. Hours of service was one of my priority needs.

    I LOVE my boat - is it overengineered?

    Paul, Kirby is pretty much right with the quirks. Also the commentary about customer service, I completely agree that Tracker and White River could care less about your problems, they sold the boat now you deal with it. I have had my boat into the BPS Gainesville, Fl. Greg runs the service dept...

    Nitro Z19 Fury Prop Vent Plugs??

    My 2019 Z20Pro has a Mercury 225 ProXS P23 Fury prop, no holes plugged and this boat explodes out of the holeshot. Chine walk is still an issue starting at 68 mph gps.

    The New Guy

    My dealer here in central Florida and he is a Tracker Marine dealer has only had one new boat on his entire lot for months, not to discourage you but he states they just can't get the materials they need to make boas. He states he has the orders, just no boats. I had the same problem with...

I have the Helix 9"DI Gen 3 on the front and I am waiting on a backordered Mega 360, it's been on backorder for 3 - 4 I ordered it through the Humminbird site. I am looking forward to the 360. I agree with Pat, I do fish a lot...

    STAINLESS STEEL PROP RUSTING

    Stainless will rust and tarnish if there has been any excessive heat, I think the new ProXS which I own a 225 4.6 liter V8, I have to be careful to keep lower end 4 cooling ports clear, heat has early on shown itself on the Mercury and the Fury forged areas. I had an electrolysis issue because...

    towing vehicle

    My Z20 loaded easily pulls behind my Buick Enclave, the towing package is 5000lb, with over 300hp you rarely know the boat is back there. My Enclave is a 2018 Also front wheel drive so getting those rear tires wet just doesn't happen.

    New Nitro Owner

    Hi Brett, this is my Nitro Z20 Pro 2019, I have had and still have chine walk issues. I even took it to BPS in Gainesville, they had it on 2 different occasions. They lowered the motor one hole the first time, chine walk got worse. The second trip Tracker told them to put it back in the original...
