2015 FS44 - Orange

[JasonA 2]

Thanks for all the info and below are my findings. I will preface this an overall sentiment of disappointment in Centurion not providing this type of guidance in any form. While it is fantastic that there is such a responsive and supportive user group, centurion should be the first place to go for answers.

 

I tried the following setups on flat river water between 9 and 12 feed deep:

 

Regular Surf Preset:

100% Port Ram Fill

20% starboard Ram Fill

PnP Port and starboard 100%

Bow 50%

Cats 25

Plate 50

Speed 11

 

Wake was solid and easily adjustable with trim and cats

 

Goofy Surf Preset:

100% Starboard Ram Fill

20% Port Ram Fill

PnP Port and starboard 100%

Bow 50%

Cats 25

Plate 50

Speed 11

 

This setup was only ok. The wave really did not setup well and there was a ton of wash on the lip.

 

Quick Surf

 

Full on all tanks

10.6-11

Regular side was ok but I had to put in 80% plate to get it cleaned up

 

Goofy I could not get the wake to set up. I tried

10.6-11

all tanks full

all tanks full but bow at 50%

all tanks full and bow at 0%

Ran cats in multiple positions but no impact

Plate between 50 and 100

 

Best result was all full using trim at 90% but I was still getting a sloppy wake

Jason,

 

If you reverse your CATs, you will find your Goofy side wave cleans up better than your Regular side. I would try a -25 to -30 setting. Also make sure your manually open your RamFill on the filled side a little extra. You want to see water coming out the centurion helmet vent to know its full.

I was thinking the same thing. Wondered if the Cats @ 25 for goofy was a typo for -25. Cats settings has a HUGE effect on the wave!

I've found that it's less effective when using quick surf vs listing the boat. Never the less, running at 25 vs 0 or a negative setting will hurt the wave. So yes, running at -25 should help. I've found the center tab has more of an effect on the goofy quick surf wave than CATS. All in all, a lot of tab and a slight list seems to be necessary to really get the goofy quick surf wave to where it should be. I list it!

-Jason, I'll call you this week to follow up. I'd like to hear how you made out with this.
