Looking at buying a used 230 enzo. Question about wave.
Rhale replied to benjy's topic in Centurion Boat Accessories, Electronics and Modifications
You'll need more weight. I believe some have used 700's under the seats and added another 1000lb bag in the rear compartments -

Rhale replied to benjy's topic in Centurion Boat Accessories, Electronics and Modifications
We have on '06 with Switchblade. I honestly cant say I see a difference with it for the surf wave. If surfing is your goal then you will need Enzo sacks for the rear compartments (1400lbs each). Most will go through and remove the factory sprinkler valves in the rear to speed up the fill times. Search and there a tons of threads on this boat since it's known to make a great surf wave. As Packrat mentioned, the sideswipe can be annoying after awhile. There are a few options for internal baffles to quiet them down. Clean looking boat and we still love ours, deep v hull is great for big water if that is what you have. -
What brand of swivel racks?

Switchblade Trouble shooting
Rhale posted a topic in Centurion Boat Maintenance, Performance, Troubleshooting
So I'm thinking that one of the lenco rams is bad on my switchblade but have a quick question. I never messed with it while the boat was on the trailer but while on the lake the other day it wasn't seeming to make any difference in wave while underway no matter which position I had it in. For those that have one on their boat, will it tilt and operate while out of the water in a full range of motion or only move partially? No water is leaking from the lenco's so any ideas of how to figure which of the two is bad? Thanks -
Mercruiser 6.2 liter Exhaust Gasket
Rhale posted a topic in Centurion Boat Maintenance, Performance, Troubleshooting
Out on the water this weekend and stopped to swap riders. Stared boat up again and had a load tapping sound. Seemed to run fine (good temp, oil pressure, not miss firing) but definitely noisy. After some searching on here, it appears it may be the exhaust manifold gaskets. I have owned this boat for 5 years and it has 430 hrs on it (2006 Enzo). Seems that this was a common issue on the 5.7 liter and usually happened early on. Any others have this issue late in the game or just a common failure part? -

Well, a few too many hours on saturday pulling it apart, repainted and installed new riser gaskets/manifold gaskets and she runs perfect! -
2005 Enzo - Water Flow Tube
Rhale replied to lakelife123's topic in Centurion Boat Maintenance, Performance, Troubleshooting
That tube provides water supply to the shaft seal. The water acts a lubricant for the prop shaft bearing. -
So the GGB website is no longer public and you have to call. Are these the multi-disc inserts that go into the exhaust? And approximate cost?

Rear sun pads turning purple, replacements?
Rhale replied to crimson850's topic in Centurion Boat Maintenance, Performance, Troubleshooting
I hear ya! This is the one I was thinking of from TheMalibuCrew.com where they talk about the off gassing from the glue: http://www.themalibucrew.com/index.php?/forums/topic/55539-what-is-thiand-how-do-i-get-rid-of-it/&tab=comments#comment-839061 -
Rear sun pads turning purple, replacements?
Rhale replied to crimson850's topic in Centurion Boat Maintenance, Performance, Troubleshooting
The Good News: It's not a mold and won't affect anything. The Bad News: It's the glue and foam that discolors when its covered and heat is trapped. Only way is to replace it or some will use towels between the cover and vinyl or order a light colored boat cover, gray instead of black, to reduce heat. This is an issue on other boat brands as well. -
Looking to upgrade the cover on our '06 SV230. Who do you recommend? Anyone have ready made? TIA

05 Sv230 Enzo depth/water temp/pp
Rhale replied to nailem's topic in Centurion Boat Maintenance, Performance, Troubleshooting
I think the paddle wheel is for speed only and my '06 has a transducer mounted on the bottom of the hull for depth and temp. -
We're at roughly 3000ft in elevation with our '06 230 with switchblade and run the 1579 per Acme recommendations. Still pulls hard with a full crew and an Enzo sac.

Help me set my 08 sv230 up please! (Surf)
Rhale replied to Nick610s's topic in Centurion Boats General Discussion
Sweet! I was wondering if the Nauticurl would work on our hull shape! Thinking of ordering one for our goofy surfers since I don't have an Enzo bag on the Starboard side. -
Finally going to have to pay the piper - Powell 2017
Rhale replied to Shaka's topic in Centurion Boat Maintenance, Performance, Troubleshooting
Fingers crossed that it's something relatively simple and not a new motor issue!! -
Great Vid! We're heading over July 1-3rd for a quick trip with family. One of the people coming has never been west of the Mississippi and is gonna have her mind blown!

Rhale replied to Nick610s's topic in Centurion Boats General Discussion
Weight, weight, and more weight..lol, we run and Enzo sac (1450lbs) full and still have peeps stuffed in the back corners and have a switchblade. You should have the rub rail under water and sometimes the back corner vent will be under. The wave will be incredible. -

2006 Enzo Sv 230 Steering cable
Rhale replied to jiriki's topic in Centurion Boat Maintenance, Performance, Troubleshooting
My understanding is that if it steers hard in either direction then a new cable will help. If its only heavy in one direction then greasing usually will take care of it. As well if it turns easy while out of the water and hard while underway then grease.
