Hi Everyone, I have a truck camper and will want to tow my 2015 FS33 but need to extend the hitch 24" to get past the end of the camper. After looking into this a lot I am not coming up with amazing options. From looking at dry weight + 20% to get wet weight + fuel + gear + trailer I am looking at about 7,300 lbs with a tongue weight of around 500 lbs. The first idea is to install a super Hitch Magnum (new 2017 F350 and only one they have that fits this truck) and a SuperTruss that extends 24" that will give me a tow weight of 7,500. The second option would be to do a Hitch extension that is 24" but need to install a Weight distribution sway control system with a pole-tongue adapter and it will give me a tow weight of 8,000. Now with a weight distribution system they say it is compatible with surge breaks but can see it giving more resistance since you know have two bars pushing back on the trailer. Just looking for some ideas. and if anyone has done anything like this or something else.

I have two sets of the Exile XM9's and love them. Samson Sports has designed an adapter plate that mounts directly to the downfire mounts.

The only things I have heard about and have happened to me is the exhaust tip can fall off and the flashing of the LED lights when the boat has been off. The exhaust tip is simple to add on again with some washers so it does not fall off and well the LED's flashing just takes turning off the battery's with the disconnect switch when out of the water. This is also a problem with the RI's. Hope this helps.

Ok now that is funny. Having boat hook is a good idea. Keeping hands off the dock is a good way to make sure a finger-hand is not squished between the dock and boat or boat and boat. I also have a walking fender that is out when we are docking so someone can easily put this between the dock and boat.

That sucks and your not going to like the answer. Flake looks amazing but if it has to be fixed it sucks. I am a person that can see all and I like things to be perfect. Now with that being said it takes time. To do it right they will have to take the whole panel down and build it back up. This is because the flake is not mixed the same as it was the day it was in production from the factory. Since boats are built from the outside working in you will have just a little bump on this panel since they are now working from the inside out. Now for time really comes down to who does the repair. Like Stoked said getting the Centurion is quick but working on it can take time. With how big you are saying I would say a month from when you drop her off to pick up. Might be quicker depending on how many other projects they are working on.

After using a hand pump for years then making my own just purchase this one. It is all included and easy. Well worth the money. Pay upfront to save you time and a workout later.

Same thing happened to me earlier this year. A ghost in the system reset my fill and empty times to run about 30 second short of a full bag. Have to enjoy the computer ghost from time to time. Now if they could ever get the LED lights to stop flashing when the boat is turned off that would be great.

ROFL. Added bonus you now have a CAT's fin.

He just wanted to say "Hi my friend, can I sit on your lap well you drive"

I do like Whisky. I would start with the button itself. It could be how you are pressing it. If you have a wife let her push it since they are great at pushing things until they break :). For troubleshooting you could pull the wire going to the starter and put a voltage meter on it to see if you get the same voltage every time. If you confirm strong voltage the next place to check would be a relay or computer control for the starting system. I do not know what one it is since I have not looked at how this is wired up. Hope this helps.

Skipped out of work on Friday for a great time and to roll 200. This should have happened two months ago but Doctors just do not know what fun is. Could not have asked for a better day on the water. Also got another person up for the first time and hooked on surfing. Smiles from ear to ear.

Guess you need to teach the crew to get out and push. I have had the same issue at higher elevation and also when I got some weeds on the CAT's fin. Last time it happened to me I did a really hard reverse and it cleared up.

Sorry for the delay. I think the newest FW for the FS33-44 is 2710531. I will be at my boat and can check what I am running. Do you have Drainmaster or valterra valves?

On the Ram system you can leave them open when you trailer and next time you boot up the system it will close all the gates. It is part of the system startup like running the CAT's fin to the left then finding center and moving the wakeplate up.

What FW version are you running? If it is the original I would say get that updated to the last version they made for the 2015's.

Not enough hours or too many hours depending on who you ask. I go with not enough hours since being on the board is directly related to the fun I am having that summer. Too many weddings the last few years. As of today I just hit 194.6 hours. Got the boat in January of 2015. This season I have 18.4. Sticks and stones will break my bones but it is the doctor who really hurt me and had me off the water for two months : ( Trying to make it up with taking as many days off as I can this summer.

Check for a missing ground to the battery's. I know it sounds strange but I had the same thing happen when I reconnected my battery's and found that I missed one of the grounds to the battery.

When I first got my FS33 I did some prop testing. The first link is to the results and the second is to the thread. I tested three props with a listed boat and even weighted. For surfing I have an RPM of 3225 for goofy and 3425 on reg. That is with the 1615 prop at 500 ft. That is interesting you are able to run that much weight and get up and going but I did notice you have the tab down to 70%. I really do not like running it pas 30% since it tops off the wake. http://www.centurioncrew.com/applications/core/interface/file/attachment.php?id=23838

Like Wylie said it becomes one big battery. Adding the switch is not that big of a deal and if you do it now you will save yourself from saying later I should have just added it to start with.

#2 should be #1. No Cheetos or food that can stain. No spray on sunscreen or other sprays.

If you pull the fender it will just buy you a little more time but your tire will hit the frame where the fender attaches I had to do this to get home but after 2 days the tire was dug in. I had to let all the air out of the tire to get it off.

I had the same thing happen on my Moomba with a 08 Boatmate trailer. The replacement sucks and is a project. I did a write up on the replacement and hope it helps. https://forum.moomba.com/showthread.php?22828-Replacemnt-of-Axle-on-2008-single-axle-boatmate-trailer

You could just upgrade your dock to have a fully enclosed boat house with platform. http://northshorewaterfront.ca/platform-boat-lifts/

What do you mean you cannot watch it 24/7? Just sit up in the woods with a shotgun and all is good. I take it you have power at the dock? I would say flood lights. Locking the cover would stop just a person going for the easy targets but would not stop someone that wants. They would use a knife and cut the cover.

+15 for Samson, They make great products and with anything great they come with a price.
