Elite V !!!

Good morning Crew! I am going to invest in a cruise control system in my Elite V this week. I am torn between Stargazer and Zero Off. Zero Off seems to be a few hunderd $$$ more than the stargazer. I don't think I need 3 event, just want to surf and wakeboard at a consistent speed, and have the wife be able to tow without me screaming at her from behind the boat... No current cruise control, speedometer has been sketchy last few trips last year. Paddle wheel is free'd up, the notorious silver knob seems to be inneffective... I want to get it ordered by this weekend, so I need some expert advise from the rest of the crew!

Yes I believe that it would.

The Stargazer is all dialed in! Thank you Chad @ Cal Marine Sports in Fairfield for his expertise! I will attach pics next week of the dash with the unit installed..

I went with the STARGAZER! Woo-Hoo! Thanks CENTURION CREW ADMIN! You just helped me save some good $$$ by ordering through centurioncrew.com Thanks again CREW for the great input and knowledge. Once I receive the unit, I will reach out for some more knowledge and expertise on how to correctly install this bad boy...

parts boat would be nice! Got a place to store the extra boat/trailer? I DON"T

So is this saying that since my boat is older than 07', that it will not work? I'm a little confused... Is my boat a drive by wire? My 1990 Ski Centurion Falcon definitely was, you could feel the tension and pull in the throttle. New boat throttle feels like butter, and not just because of the chrome shift knob

Once I instill my module (still slightly up in the air on which one), Where do most people put the gauge? Left or right side?

+ is that it is a V DRIVE. Is your current 98' a V DRIVE? I'm estimating about 10K in damage repairs. Considering extensive fiber glass repair, new glass, upholstry. That Taylor Made glass is not cheap.. That hull on that boat is a classic and proven design... It really depends on what your currently got, and if you have 10K to throw back into it.

Sounds sketchy, but possible. Look into a closed cooling system. All "coastal" edition wake boats tend to run off coolant rather than the h2o below the boat.

I liked the American flag added in! That was cool

I took my 02' V/M dual axel (shown in my pictures) To get it looked at. The resason being that both hydraulic drum brakes on both sides of the front axel start smoking from extreme heat.I mean these suckers were so HOT, that I thought the tires were going to melt off! The rear axes don't have brakes, so they were fine. Now, this was only happening on the way HOME from the lake, which is a 25 minute tow...The way there shows NO sign of heat nor smoke. So I take it to a RV/Trailer repair shop close to where I work in Redwood City, CA. First visit, the guy repaced the brake master cylinder, saying it goes bad when it locks but does not unlock, resulting in me frying my brakes. I paid $300.00 and he repalaced that and cleaned out the brake lines, which he said were filthy. I found that hard to belived because the trailer appeared to be pristine underneath and in the nooks/crannys. I towed the boat home with no problem, just like how I towed it there. Because the heat/smoke only appeared to be happening when it was pulled out of the lake. So last week, I noticed a dripping of brake fluid above the right side drum brake/line in my driveway. I immediately called the guy and told him of the leak. He said bring it on back. On top of the $300.00 I already paid, He wants another $490.00 for complete the job, expalining that he needed to re do the entire brake job the first time. This new bill includes new brake pads (both sides) and the labor. In a nut shell, does $800.00 sound proper for a full brake job on this trailer? My old V/M trailer on my Falcon was single axel with 0 problems in 7 years. The mechanic swears up and down he is giving me a break on the price. I know its a long one, but any imput will be much appreaciated!

DID BOTH SIDES LOCK UP? TRY CHECKING THE ELECTRICAL PLUG-INS.

BITCHIN' BOAT. IF I WASN'T SO LOYAL WITH CENTURION I WOULD PROBABLY GO WITH SUPRA OR TIGE. IF I DIDN'T HAVE THE $$$ THEN MAYBE A MOOMBA, WHICH IS ALMOST THE SAME AS SUPRA FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND.
