Do you have a link to the solenoids you bought?

Where did you find the sideswipe solenoid and the relay? I put 1000’s in the rear lockers. Need to figure out the pump situation though. Dedicated thru hulls would be a lot better but I’m not a wiring expert.

I got the Acme 1579

Hi All, I had a new acme surf prop installed on my 06 Avy C4. It’s really closed to the trailer supports. Obviously I wouldn’t put the boat in gear until it was floating but wondering if there are other suggestions out there to ensure it doesn’t hit. Thanks, Leif

Excellent. That might be the trick

Hey All, Been contemplating FAE all winter. Is it easy to install? Is spray an issue? Mastercraft dealer told me to research back pressure and if it’s a problem with the black scorpion? thanks for any input in advance.

Ahh gotchya. How did you cut it back? Literally just hacksaw it?

Ok got it thanks! Spoke with Larry at FAE today. Im going to remove the switchblade mount as I don’t use it. He needs to me to measure center to center on the bolts so he can make a plate to go in its place.

Is the muffler on these the straight piece that runs along the back the engine?

What parts are you looking for? I’m deciding on FAE or replace the sideswipe actuators which I’m assuming don’t work anymore. I don’t hear any movement or see any exhaust changes when I select port or starboard. Trying to decide what to do

Definitely coming out of the drain hole and not the vent

Hi All. Recently replaced my hard tanks with 1000lb bags and installed new drain pumps from wakemakers. Port side bag/drain pump has started dumping water when I hit fill. It’s not as forceful as well I actually hit drain but it’s certainly coming out at a steady rate. Any thoughts on what the issue could be? thanks in advance!

Hey guys, quick question on sideswipe exhaust and how you know it’s really working. Does the switch only work when the engine is running? Does it only push the fumes to one side? (Mine still makes noise from the both sides when I press the switch) is there a way to test the solenoid? thanks in advance!

Thanks Troy... I’ll dig into your threads.

Hi All, Quick question on the ballast pump(s) in my 2006 Avy C4. I see the 3 yellow pumps which I assume are the pump outs. I see one thru hull intake going to a Water Puppy Model 18220-2123. Does this one pump fill all 3 hard tanks I have? There is a large hose off the water puppy that routes to the back of the boat to a white water strainer (perhaps) and then from there it branches to 3 "units". (not sure what to call it). If it is just the one main pump, can I simply upgrade that to get a faster fill time? It's strange that there are 3 tank switches but only one pump. Appreciate any insight. Thanks!

Thanks all. Definitely getting rid of those hard tanks. I'll take a look at your thread now. Was hoping to just be able to replace the water puppy to a bigger/faster one rather than get into the sprinkler value replacement or adding pumps but I can see the sprinkler values being restrictive and slowing things down. Thanks again, I'm sure I'll have more questions.

I’ll check it out. Thank u

Hi All, Looking to upgrade the wakeboard racks on my 06 avalanche with the tribal tower to surf racks. Does anyone know what will work without breaking the bank? Thanks in advance!!!

Hi All, Have begun surfing behind my 2006 Avalanche C4 using the standard 3 ballast tanks and a wake shaper. Wave isn't perfect or the biggest it can be I'm sure but it is clean. The problem I'm having is dropping the rope. I seem to get good acceleration but when I start to slow down I can't get enough speed to recover and I fall back out of the wave. Board is a Doomswell Hydro and removed the center fin to see if that would give me a little more speed. Been setting the perfect pass around 11 mph but dont know if I should be going slower or faster to help. Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks!

Havent done anything yet honestly. Was looking at the factory upgrade kit from WakeMAKERS which is dual 740lb bags or just doing the 1150lb sac on the surf side. I like that the upgrade kit comes with everything you need and connects to the existing system/switches, etc. Been trying to get in touch with WakeMAKERS to see what I need to do if I just buy the 1150lb sac and want to connect it to my existing switches but been tough to get them on the line. I'm a rookie at this so I just dont know enough other than I know I need more weight.

Is this a purchased item of home made?

ok great thank you!

Is an a plate and wake shaper the same thing?

How much ballast do you have?

What did you do with the exhaust once you removed the sideswipe? The 740’s that come with the wakemakers upgrade seem small now based on what you guys are doing.
