Hey all, looking for the complete setup -- supporting brackets, everything. The pylon mounts between the engine cover and bench seat, and the pylon telescopes up roughly 6". I'll be modifying the mounts -- I know there are a few Centurion models with roughly the same setup -- I would take anything, or any parts! Any leads would be greatly appreciated!! Thank you, Don

Ski Pylon Stuck - which part moves?
Donny Mango replied to stray123's topic in Centurion Boat Maintenance, Performance, Troubleshooting
Hey crew, HNY 2020. Reviving this thread with a *want* for the complete ski pylon setup in this post. I need everything. Thanks! PS, sorry to admin if this is incorrect place to post. I thought it would be a handy reference.. -
Hi. I'm trying to find the manufacturer of the retractable cleats pictured. Also, wondering what you all use to attach bow and stern lines. I'm thinking the eyelet up front that's used to crank the boat onto the trailer for bow line, and the eyelets at either end of the stern for the stern line?

WakeDoc, got it! Great explanation. So apparently the impeller runs lake water, and a different pump for the closed cooling. The impeller would then be dry on trailer startup. I won't be doing that again!! -

Hello, Thank you for having this forum! I'm looking forward to learning from the members here. I'm sure to have many questions....... Recently purchased a 2007 Enzo 216 with 33 original hours on the clock. This was originally a Fineline boat (confirmed), built for a towing tournament with the Mercury 525 EFI. Running gear is original and appears to be in great shape. I wonder if someone could help me understand the plexiglas bow section divider. It slips into channels at the walk-through, in front of the ice chest. How is this normally used, and is there a cushion to fit in as well? I just have the plexi, in a pouch. Thanks!! -

When I started it dry, I was cognizant of what I was doing relative to overheating the headers - and ran it short enough time to not impact the headers. My logic said the closed system cools the engine, and the lake water cools the headers. If that's not the case, how do they separate the closed system (with coolant that's supposedly good for 10 years) from the lake water? And which source of water is pumped by the impeller? Thanks! -

Definitely not a radiator!! It ran for less than a minute - did I screw something up? There must be a place where I should hook up a hose or something........ -
Upgrade, or purchase new(er) boat?
Donny Mango replied to CaptnMike's topic in Centurion Boats General Discussion
Buy the new boat. You only live once. This assumes it's an affordable choice! Spending time with your family, you're a winner either way. -

Undecided. Definitely doing a bimini.... today's interests are less about jumping wake, more about the ropeless wakesurf. Good without a tower on that, so maybe never. I like the look as is, so yeah prob not. -

This is very blurry, but you can see the two end attaching/tie points, and then in between the black rubber and the handle is the little center tow hook. -

DrNate, this harness looks similar to what would be used with an outboard. I have the center round/hook thing, and then two C - shaped places, one at each end. I was thinking to pull tubers and wake surfers by the old school center hook. I guess I'm not understanding the benefit of adding this harness...? -

No ski pylon, no popup, no room vs the 525. Just the small hook at the transom. TYLER!! lol -

Thank you! The first owner (after Fineline) removed the tower and windshield. I was told it was used at a towing tournament in Australia.... whatever they were doing in '07. Where should the swim platform set relative to water line? Thank you for pointing this out! Also curious about the hull now... -

Hmmmm... I know shore starts and dock starts, but not sure what you mean here. Is it bc I don't have a tower? Thanks! -

Yes, it is closed coolant. This is my first closed coolant boat -- I'm with you on not burning anything up! My concern is/was the headers turning blue, but they seem to be OK for the short time that I run it out of the water for kicks. Anything I should be aware of? Thank you! -

When I open the large upholstered door, starboard side, there's another hinged door to open. It's the same size, just one door after another. First the padded and upholstered, then a white one with a rough surface. It has the Storm III ballast package -- there are hard side ballast tanks at the bottom of both side compartments, lots of room above that for storage. (i guess i'm a wimp ha!) -

My picture file sizes are too large, need to work on that. I have this video clip though: -

Shaka! I never in a million years would have guessed that. THANK YOU!!! Question #2: There are 2 side compartments, adjacent to the engine bay. The starboard side has a 2nd white door to open. What's that about?
