    Z19 sport

    PROBLEM SOLVID-2019 z19 sport with a 2019 Mercury 150 pro xs 4 stroke (34 hours on the motor) turning a 22 tempest plus 6000 rpm's. I'm coming from a 21 Stratos to this z19 sport( fish / ski) the boat had a light 12v trolling motor from the factory. I put a heavy Garmin force TM, 12" graph and LS on the bow and lighter lithiums in the back. I think what's happening because of the weight being in the center of the boat ( fish and ski) instead the back like a regular bass boat I keep falling off pad causing a purposing affect. Idk p2p yet but it's probably lower than needs be because there's no JP. Any ideas how to fix this? I bought a 23p bravo 1 fs prop I'm going to try tomorrow and get a JP installed over the winter.

    I think the 23 Bravo will be too much pitch.

    Why, I'm running a 22 tempest plus at 6000 ? The bravo 1 fs runs smaller than the tempest plus right?

    I put a big trolling motor on the front and lighter batteries in the back. Exactly what you need to do to make it fall off the pad. Nothing else matters if your bow heavy. Get a couple of dead lead acid batteries and set them in the back. Bet it fixes your problem.
