Baller bigskieridaho Posted January 5, 2017 Baller Share Posted January 5, 2017 I am under the impression you can plug n play an earlier 2000's Ski Nautique with the ZR6 to zero off. Is this correct? @Jody_Seal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller jetpilotg4 Posted January 5, 2017 Baller Share Posted January 5, 2017 Plug and play sounds a bit simplified... I did my 04 with the 5.7 over a weekend, not complicated at all though ... money well spent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller ozski Posted January 5, 2017 Baller Share Posted January 5, 2017 No this is not correct. I had to replace a lot of parts to get ZO working on my zr6 but the end result is awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller bigskieridaho Posted January 5, 2017 Author Baller Share Posted January 5, 2017 @ozski what did you have to do and how much? Is it the same cost as an Excalibur? Like $5K or less? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller ozski Posted January 5, 2017 Baller Share Posted January 5, 2017 From memory - Harness Throttle body (drive by wire) ECU Faria board (my boat is a team so this may not apply) Plus the cost of the ZO unit. In AU $ the conversion was well north of 5k but mine was rolled into the purchase price from the dealer so it turned out to be a good deal for me. The benefit from the changes I made are not limited to better speed control, the new ECU and larger throttle body increase the HP quite a bit I have been told. It certainly feels every bit as responsive as a newer 409. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller skierjp Posted January 8, 2017 Baller Share Posted January 8, 2017 @bigskieridaho what year boat? If it somewhere in the 2007-2008 range it is simple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller bigskieridaho Posted January 8, 2017 Author Baller Share Posted January 8, 2017 @skierjp it was a 2003 with like 124 hours. It seems like by the time I spend the money buying an older one and converting it, I can buy a newer one with ZO for the same price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller skierjp Posted January 8, 2017 Baller Share Posted January 8, 2017 You need to talk to @Jody_Seal but I think you're looking at 6k or more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Gloersen Posted January 8, 2017 Baller Share Posted January 8, 2017 @bigskieridaho - 4 years ago converted an '03 Signature Series Excal 330 in about 12 hours, should have been less. Basically as ozski described: 1. convert your engine to drive by wire (throttle body) 2. convert your engine to E-control (ECM) 3. install Zero Off (display, cable, antenna) Pricing at that time was: 1.) $2400 (ECM, throttle body) based on PCM's 2012 pricing. 2.) $1565 Zero Off (for the Display, harness, 2 GPS antenna) + 40 for the CANBus and power harness Total: ~$4120 Probably is ~ 6k with single antenna system, etc., now like @skierjp mentioned. If you don't have a boat to convert yet, you're probably right, keep an eye out for a later model ZO SN 196 with a 6L (although may be hard to find) unless you're getting a super good price on the '03.

Baller_ Jody_Seal Posted January 9, 2017 Baller_ Share Posted January 9, 2017 Hi, the 6 liter conversion price is going be a bit more then the ex engines. Also does the boat have keyless or key Switch ignition? If you need a gateway that can run up to $900 for the unit. Then if you need to hire a tech or some one to install $900 to ????.

Baller bigskieridaho Posted January 9, 2017 Author Baller Share Posted January 9, 2017 Ha ha @Jody_Seal . I am now talking about 2 different boats. I got confused. One is an 03 signature with the ex and one is an 04 with the ZR6. Either way seems to be not with the money to convert an older one??? What's your take?

Baller RAWSki Posted January 11, 2017 Baller Share Posted January 11, 2017 Hey @bigskieridaho I think the better way to go is to buy a nice '14 CP with a 6L and ZO... Seadek floor and Heated seats are just a super toasty bonus! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller bigskieridaho Posted January 11, 2017 Author Baller Share Posted January 11, 2017 @RAWSki I assume you are talking about yours? The CP is what I want, just checking my options if I can't sell the wife on a closed bow. PM me if yours is for sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
