Im picking up our Z17 this week, it'll be the first upgrade...thx for the tip !

[dennisfolk]

I have a Z18 doing the same thing. Found Motorsocks and added that a couple months ago. Going to use your tip for the non-slip adhesive to clean it up so it looks better.

Thanks for the information, I am looking at a Z17 this week....

Hey NitroZ18. Thanks for the video. I also just bought a Z18 and just measured for my motor sock. I want to include the trolling motor sock. Did you have to provide a measurement for this and provide the measurement when you ordered? I did not see anything on the YT website about including this measurement for the trolling motor. appreciate the help. Love your boat!

Just ordered my first nitro I’m glad I came across this video I’ll definitely be getting some motor socks

Thanks for the info as I am on the marked for a NITRO!!!!

[Clintonbuggs]

Man you have a nice rig. Can't wait until mine is delivered so I can do some of the things you've done.

Great Information! Still waiting for the Z18 I ordered in March. I'll get the Motor Socks ordered pronto. One other question if I might? I hear a lot of reports of the Lowrance sunscreens flying off on the road. What product are you using on your boat to keep them in place as I ca see in the background of the video?

I know boats are expensive and you want to take care of it. But I’ve never seen anyone concerned about the splash well. But it does look like a cool product.

I added an 8 inch jack plate to my Z7, so that seemed to move the tube back far enough so as not to be a problem.

hey thanks for the tip. i just checked my 2021 nitro z18 with 2020 175 pro sx and my harness comes out on the other of my motor and seems to have enough clearance along the area that yours was rubbing but i will keep an eye on it and repair if needed, thanks for sharing and i have been doing a few mods myself. maybe i should start videoing them and put them on youtube so i can buy a new house as well. lol. good for you a keep up the good work...nitrojoe

I have a 2019 z20 same thing. You can also take out the 3 screws where it goes it to the boat and turn that and it will adjust the tube so it's not so long.

Yeah I first noticed scratches in my splash well after only about 3 months... the motor and trolling sock are cool products! I noticed your front anti-skid pad is coming up - was that factory installed or after market? The newer Nitros thankfully use this sea-deck like material now that seems to stay down better. Thanks for sharing these couple tips!

[rainysunday]

I would use the tape. I would measure the outside length so it will come out long. Better too long than too short.

My Phoenix has the same issue with the rigging tube in the

Off topic comment I see your running dual 12s. It looks like you have a motorized pole for Active target. What pole are you running and do you like it.

[davebouchard]

Hey there. Have 2021 Z19 Pro pkg. Would really love to get the Nitro Performance Boats carpet decals you have for my boat. Can you tell me where I can get those. Thx.

[daveluhrs]

never herd of the motorsocks - thanks!

[chrisl]

Wow great fix. Try 303 on your boat cover
Makes it pop

My Nitro has this issue... has the non skid damaged the sock when it rubs against it?
