  1. Budget stereo build 2008 Avy

    Troy replied to Troy's topic in Marine Audio

    Redid my sub box this weekend. Moved it from the observers compartment to under the helm. Cut the hump out and built a box to fit there.

  2. Sub Help: Who’s Cut Their Hump?

    Troy replied to h2ohangtime's topic in Marine Audio

    I cut mine this past weekend. 2008 Avy.
  3. Lots of people have to other models. Search for ballast upgrades. I've done it to my Avy and getting ready to do more.
  4. Just bought the motorized valves above (remove power they return closed, say open as long as power is applied). Going to install this weekend hopefully. Let you know the outcome. My sprinkler valves were not working correctly anymore, they lasted 12 years so I can't complain.
  5. Didn't happen unless there is pictures! lets see the new ride!

    So I rebuilt my Downfire mounts. This way I can move them a little farther outboard and give me more room between the speakers. My original ones are for sale if anyone wants to add Downfires to a tube tower. Pictures in next post.
  9. you will love the new one. Just easier to get the wave. If you can swing the added cost, don't look back and go new. My $.02
  10. Looks good. I did a very similar job a few years back for my Cabelas 2 bank charger/maintainer. My batteries and maintainer are under my observers seat.
  11. check power and ground at the switch. Unplug both the port and starboard or center and check power and ground. IF both are good ohm check the wires to the out pump (easiest) and make sure the wires are good. Sounds like a power/ground issue. Use the working switch connector to figure out which switch wire is which for the non-working switch.
  12. 2009 Centurion changed the top. made the top cap a bit taller.

  13. Sub Help: Who’s Cut Their Hump?

    Troy replied to h2ohangtime's topic in Marine Audio

    Did you ever finish this project? I’m getting ready to cut mine this year. Love to see some finished pictures!
  14. New dealer in North Texas. Action Watersports DFW picked up the Centurion line. Lee and the guys at Action are great! If you have any questions or would like to visit them, let me know!
  15. you can always turn the key on and then tap the gauge to see if it comes alive then.
  16. Check voltage at the battery. Mine shows like 10-11 volts when running, according to the dash but the battery is getting 14.

  17. Winterized my black scorpion 5.7

    that's what i do. not sure if its right or wrong but.......

  18. Winterized my black scorpion 5.7

    Troy replied to Totalperformance's topic in DIY and How To's

    I fog mine. through the intake. Not sure if it is the best or if it helps but I do it. I don't remove the plugs and fog there, just the intake.
  19. Do you heater hoses up by the driver and observers seat? Usually the boats that had a heater installed had pull out hoses or outlets up by the driver and observer. See the black circles under the observer seat and by the walkthru? Heater outlets. Just a quick example.
  20. Someone just posted a detailed write up on the FaceBook group. Winterize the engine just like you would on the Direct drive. IF you have a heater blow the water out of it, add some anti-freeze. Add some anti-freeze to the ballast bags and then hit empty on the pump for a bit to put anti-freeze in the pump. Hard tank? use the "in" pump to pull anti-freeze into the tank. That is all if you live somewhere it gets real cold for a long time. For me in TX and my boat stays in my insulated shop. I pull the plugs to the engine to let water out of it. Remove the ballast strainer and empty the water out of it. and Change oils. I don't have a in boat heater and I don't worry about my ballast pumps, bags or tanks. It doesn't get real cold and when I'm out in the shop I turn on a heater, so rarely does the shop ever get cold.
  21. An Avy is 2 inches wider and a foot longer.

  22. Best Surf Boards

    Troy replied to Jbeams2's topic in Centurion Boats General Discussion

    I (5'11", 170lbs) run a Doomswell Neo 4'6". My buddy (6'7" 220lbs of so) just bought a 4'8" Neo. He surfed my Neo all the time until he just got his Neo. He tried a bunch of boards out and still liked how the Neo surfed and bought his own. Another buddy rode my Neo and ended up buying his own also, since he liked mine so much. Either way, everyone will have their own opinion. Try and find a place willing to let you try before you buy, and go that way. A Broadcast is a great learning/boat board.
  23. That will get you a surfable wave. I wouldn't put the 350 in the bow. If you want put it on the floor, surf side. During the off season, get 2 custom enzo sac's (if you surf both sides) install and enjoy the much larger wake. Again I like to list, fill just the surf side and have people or put the 350 on the seat. The wave would be what I love. Tall, steep and long. I did a custom sac in my Avy and did a write up about it. I plumped in a line to fill the extra bag on the seat when light on crew. My reversible pump fills and empty's the sac on the seat when needed.

    Troy replied to Ziptie Brian's topic in Centurion Boats General Discussion

    No side swipe. my push is awesome and having less than 2k lbs in ballast, i am happy. Super easy to drive. only thing I watch out for is rollers from other boats. Once the surfer drops, put the boat into neutral and turn to the opposite of the lean, let the wave pass which will turn the boat for you, then idle back to the surfer. No issues at all.

    If you are going to list it, you need the rub rail close to the water sitting still. Here is my 08 Avy. Little exaggerated, the run tail is usually just at the water level. Then here is my buddy at 6’7” surfing with his 8yo daughter. I would call up wakemakers and have them build you custom sacs that fill the locker and go up under the seats also. Have each bag it’s own reversible pump to fill and empty. It takes about 8min to fill/empty my custom sac. If you want to list it, you can. If you want to use the suck gate you can. Best of both worlds and just buying bags once. I started out with the 1100’s and then bought the custom. I bought bags twice. lol.
