When I changed the pitch of my prop last year, I noticed a change in the push of the wave for the better. Wave looked the same but i could feel the difference. 

Awesome to hear the changes to your boat made that kind of difference.  I love the FS series and with this info it wouldn't hold me back from getting one with which ever engine. But I'll be keeping my Avy for the foreseeable future.

Great job for thinking outside the box!!!

Well I finally had enough people in the boat to do some surfing this weekend. The wave was great, and the surf RPM was 2900-3000 RPMs from 11.3 to 11.6 MPH with minimal current. There is more lift in the rear of the boat now, so I am going to move 100 pounds of lead from the front of the boat to the back and see how that works out. Not sure if I will get to test it before My Lake Powell trip at the end of the month or not.

Since I’ve been getting a few private questions, I will post this to help someone if they decide to attempt on their boat.

The important things:

1) The biggest thing to make sure of is that your front motor mounts have room to adjust the front up and that the rear ones have room to adjust the rear down. You will need more clearance total between front and back than the thickness of the wedge. For mine I adjusted the about an inch total up and down.

2) The next important item is the through hull. Mine was near the bottom of the opening before the wedge and near the center afterwards.

3) The other import items are how much space you have on the prop shaft between the prop and the strut. The prop will be ¼ to ⅜ inch closer after adjusting.

And finally, the dimensions for your wedge. I changed mine 1.5 degrees with my wedge. You have to calculate where the wedge is to determine the wedge thickness for each end of it. If I’d gone any larger I would not have been able to get my engine aligned.

Here is my wedge dimensions, which may be significantly different for other boats.

so it has been a year now since i did this exact procedure after reading this on here and I can not be happier. We have a 2016 RI217 with the H6 and had the 15" x 14.25" prop on it but found i could not get up to surf speeds when i had more then 4 people in the boat and 400lbs of wake ballast without dropping the centre plate down and i don't like to use much or any centre plate for my wave. This past season we put 100 hours on it with no problems at all. Now using 700lbs of wake ballast we can even get up to wakeboard speeds if i ever want to do that again sad to see those two boards just hanging around doing nothing. Using the 16" x 13" prop now and our RPM went from 4200 down to around 3800 I do not care about top speed it does 25 mph just fine going to and from the gas dock other then that its fill and surf. I was nice of Volzalum to do all the leg work on figuring this out and it might not work for all models. After changing the motor angle to line everything up it is now closer to the steering cable mount ( will make for changing just that much harder )and driver side fill tube on the ram fill but no rubbing just things to watch for. i did gain on the space of the fuel control cell since there was rubbing going on there when we got the boat. Since they did change the shaft angle on the RI in 2017 i figured something could be done to the 2016 and since i could not find out the part # of the strut they used in 2017 this was the next best thing and probably the cheapest since i am in the metal fab biz.

      I see Lamb80782 had the same remove the driver seat as I am having.
      I didn't see the ulitmate solution.  I think removing "stop" would be the solution but am unable to see very well under the seat.  Has anyone come up with the solution?
      I also am reoving to have re-uphostered.  Itried removing the black access cover but it is very tight under there and not enough room for a regular wrench.  May try a 1/4 rachet drive.

      Good morning. I saw you talked about replacing the ram fill valves. I have a 2021 ri237 with a broken valve   It’s under warranty but dealer is going to be very slow to fix it.  Which wiring harness do I need to make sure I have  when I order off of Amazon.  Thank you scott
