    Improved My Bow Lift

    Just installed 6" hydraulic plate and 4 blade prop on my Nitro Z7. Like a different boat now, great bow and stern lift, money well spent!

    Can I ask which PowerTech 4 blade and what is your prop to pad? I am having issues with lift on Z7 as well. Thanks

    The hydraulic jack plate he has will help your lift with a tempest prop.

    Prop is Power Tech TR04, but I had a Tempest Plus that did ok also. The Power Tech just has better stern lift and overall performance on my hull.
