    Centurion Enzo SV240
  1. What's everyone's experience with the newer Centurion boat's gel coat when it comes to blisters on the hull? I'm considering buying a new or fairly-new model Ri230 (2020-2023), and I will be leaving it in lake water in the Seattle area for 5-6 months a year. I know a lot of the older Centurion boats got blisters...is this still an issue for the newer boats? The reason I ask...my moorage space doesn't allow boat lifts....so I'm stuck in the water. :-( Thanks. dB
  2. Hi Kevin. Did your nephew get the Medallion Systems Antenna Kit? It's basically a GPS puck you plug into the Centurion's harness. https://www.zerogps.com/medallion-systems-antenna-kit/
  3. Hi everyone. I have a 2010 Centurion Enzo 240SV and have been a FAE user for the past 7+ years. I love how it redirects the exhaust away from the surfer (and the boat is noticeably quieter). But like some of you, my bolts have sheared off and I now need to reinstall the unit. Larry at FAE is great to work with for troubleshooting, and he has discussed the idea of a "Through the hull" installation. This would require that I disconnect and remove the old exhaust tip and flapper and install a revised version of my FAE that has a flapper and goes all the way through the hull and hooks into the exhaust rubber hoses inside the boat. Here's a video of the installation on a Nautique: My 2010 Enzo 240SV is in storage right now so I can't be sure how feasible this is (i.e., how much room I'll have inside the rear of the boat to get my body and hands in position to do this), so I was wondering if any of you have tried this yet. Thanks. Donnie

  5. Hi Volzalum! I saw you reply to DarksideR who lost a Vault cap. The same thing happened to me - I got home and the Vault cap was gone. And... I can't find any Vault replacements near me in the Seattle area. I can order one online, but I'm curious if I can merely use a typical bearing buddy cap and some marine grease. Or will that contaminate the "hybrid" oil in my axel that the Vault was providing? Thanks. Donnie
  6. Hi Kevin. Reviving an old post here. I have a 2010 Enzo 240SV, and I'm thinking that I don't have the GPS system on mine, but I may be wrong. I don't have a puck mounted on the top of the fiberglass...would it be mounted under the dash? The boat is moored at the lake so I can't go out there right now and look. I know i have a paddle wheel on the hull of my boat...and I have a very hard time keeping a consistent speed when surfing...it varies +/- one to two miles/hour which makes it hard to lock in a consistent surf wave. Thanks. Don
  7. Hey Troy. I have a Centurion display (see the first photo), and it looks like the ZeroOff needs to use a round 3 1/2" or 5" dedicated display - it can't feed into the Centurion display. I emailed the tech at ZeroOff and he is pretty confident that the wires will hook up and I'll be able to use the existing display for water temp, gas, ballast, trim tab, engine temp, oil pressure, etc. - so it will show everything but the speed, and then I'd need to install a 3 1/2" round display for the GPS system. I'm thinking I would need to have some custom metal work done for the area to the right of the steering wheel, making a 3 1/2" hole to the right of the rocker switches. Have you (or anyone you know) hooked up a ZeroOff control? Thanks. Don
  8. Thanks Troy! I called Perfect Pass today, and they said that ZeroGPS is the company that made the cruise control for the 2010 Centurion Enzo (with the PCM 409 engine). So I'm trying to track that down. Thanks for getting back to me! Don
  9. We have a 2010 Centurion Enzo SV240 and love it! We've always been able to get a great regular (port) side wave, but have had trouble getting a goofy wave until we got a Mission Delta wakeshaper. We still list the boat when we use the Mission Delta (so we fill the starboard enzo sack and center tank, and move all of our lead to the starboard side), and we get a great wave that has a lot of push. But...we get an annoying spray from the swim platform that we'd like to remedy. How have others with older Enzos dealt with this? Thanks. Don

  11. We have a 2010 Centurion Enzo 240SV and love it! But the speed control has never worked very well. It never locks in on a speed, but hovers around a speed (going one mile under or over) as long as you constantly tweak the throttle. We mainly surf...so we're going between 10-11 MPH. We keep our boat in the water on a lake during the summer, and I was wondering if people with older boats like mine have successfully upgraded their speed control systems (and what might be entailed -- do I need to take the boat out of the water?). My friend has an AXIS and the speed control locks in perfectly. You give it gas and it just works. I'm hoping to find something like that. Thanks. Don

  13. Gel Coat Mismatch?

    WakeDoc - The color code is: 991-LX-113, and the color is "Too Blue". Thanks for the advice, InfinitySurf. The repair shop is working with Spectrum to figure out the color issue, and I have mail into Centurion.
  14. I had a well-respected gel-coat repair shop work on my 2010 Enzo to repair a 1"x 6" scratch. I gave them my hull number and they worked with Centurion to get the correct color, and then had Spectrum make the gel coat. However, the final dried/sanded/buffed color is lighter than the surrounding gel coat. I'm not sure what to do. They said that it's possible Centurion's color is not accurate...that the original boat color may have been poured at the end of the week and that the workers may have added a little extra gel coat/coloring to the final batch. Or it's possible that someone at Spectrum didn't mix the colors correctly. They just don't know. They said they'd be happy to take another crack at it at the end of the season for free (since I'm trying to get the boat into the water now). But I know they are going to want to be paid now for the work they did. I'm not sure what to do. I don't want to stiff anyone, and I know the shop did a lot of work to try to make the boat look good. Should Centurion stand behind their colors? Spectrum? Any ideas?
