I ordered a kit from WakeMakers with two pumps. Will get it installed for next summer and the fun will begin!
-
It seems that i will need to upgrade to 1" hose as well? Maybe two pumps for the rear 1" and keep the factory pump for the center ballast.
I leave the front v one full all summer.
-
I have a mission delta shaper. We do switch sides for some of the kids friends. Usually one person on the point ends up needing the other side.
Right now just one stock pump. And on throw over. But we only use that now if we take another bag along.
-
I am looking at doing an upgrade on the pumps on my 2007 Centurion Avalanche C4. I have 750s in the rear lockers, and the factory center ballast. Plus a loose v bag in the front.
Looking at the kit from Wake Makers, but it's not cheap. Wondering if i am better of going with two pumps for the rear lockers, and leaving the factory one for the center built in ballast.
Or better off just replacing all three.
The kit with 3 pumps is about $2,000 plus installation

Wow.this is pretty cool. My wife wants a mirror for out boat too, but this would be better i think.
Do you think there will be problems with water and the camera? I am wondering if it might work for me to mount one higher up on the tower maybe.
Thanks for sharing.
-
Hmm.not the best reviews.
-
Ahh ok, so maybe there are skins for other boats, and that might be what she was told about.
-
Does anyone know if there are 'kits' that would recover all the seats in the boat? My wife heard of this, but i cannot seem to find it anywhere.
Thanks.

So i want to order this week, are you using the universalFit bags from WakeMakers? 45x25x25 @ 1,140 lbs?

Figured it out, put a 10 amp fuse in just to see, and was able to at least hear where the pump was then. Was by the belt exhaust area, and actually not that hard to get it. Was some junk jamming up the pump. Easy fix in the end!

Realized last time out the bilge pump was not working. Fuse was blown. Just put it in new fuse today, and it blew right away (switch was on, and boat was not in water).
I assume it did not blow because i was out of the water and something else is wrong? Correct? Is there a common thing to check for this problem?
Thanks!
-
I got the same boat this year! Going to check if i have that same piece. I just have the normal silver tower, not sure what it's called. But i need something like that for when i collapse the tower.
-
I might look at changing my prop. I have two Acme 1235s and does not seem like others are using that prop.
-
Thanks! Will do that this winter. Would getting 1,100 am thinking 1,100 on each rear locker would be best.
-
This is with the stock center ballast, and both rear hard tanks full.
I then have about 200? up front, and another 450ish in the port locker.
I weight about 220, and i had three smaller people in the boat, maybe 400 lbs worth.

Just an update, have been out three days in the last week. No problems. Been a blast, dialing in the wake now.

So, i am finally doing a bit with out the rope, my best run so far. The video is not the best, but does it seem like our wake is good?
-
So, it finally stopped raining and was able to work on it again. After trying a bit harder to turn that it loosened up. We put the belt back on and started the boat. It now worked fine. We let it run for about 5 minutes and no squeaking of the belt or anything.
Think we might be good to go. Maybe it just tightened up over winter while it was in storage?
-
Ok.found out this is common by searching a bit more. Starting to think it's an impeller problem.
-
Hmm..
It is actually very hard to turn. Like we cannot turn it my hand. It does wiggle a bit.
-
Ok, made some progress. I bought a coupler to hook up my garden hose and tried to started it, wiggled everything again but not luck. Then put a charger on one of the batteries. That solved one of my problems. My battery was dead.
So, now i can get it to turn over, but i can tell the belt is not turning. So i don't start it. Take the belt off, check each pulley. The lower pulley on the passenger side barely turns. I think that might be my problem. Any idea what that one us for?
-
Thanks everyone. Will try some more stuff out shortly.
Happy i have the valve already !
-
Hmm. I have this on my boat... Is that what i need to run it out of the water?
So, when it turn the key, it beeps once, a fan or pump turns on by the motor. Turing it to start does nothing, no click or beeps. I fiddled with the throttle and the kill switch.
Need to check the main fuse next i presume.

Might have found my own answer here..
Is this the way to go?

Trying to use the bimini for the first time and cannot seem to figure this thing out. No manual either :-( I searched the forum, but could not find anything that showed the setup. Thanks!!
