Fresh Air Exhaust (FAE) Through-Hull Installation
Donnieb posted a topic in Centurion Boat Accessories, Electronics and Modifications
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 -

exhaust tip fell off. anyone done this one?
jbfootnote posted a topic in Centurion Boat Maintenance, Performance, Troubleshooting
Has anyone put this on? 2016 enzo single exhaust. "Eddie marine flanged exhaust". Ya'll fixed a recent issue for us, thanks. So we were on the lake for 5 days and the port side ramfill exit motor failed, looks like there is a ramfill exit gate and a ramfill enter gate, this is the exit gate, in the back behind the engine. It was stuck open, so we were listing, because whenever we would stop it would fill up. And as we drove away it would drain out. We manually closed the gate to surf and that worked fine while we were out there, but that's a pain, obviously. Anyway, is it the little motor? Its the Valtera gate system, not drainmaster. It looks like it would be easy to replace the little motor. Any links to a new one? or is there a way to fix the old one? JB -
FAE sheared a bolt
bomoseen avy posted a topic in Centurion Boat Accessories, Electronics and Modifications
Just upgraded from '03 Avy to 2013 Enzo SV 230+. Absolutely love the new ride, first boat with FAE, second gen with tapered down tube and I couldn't be more impressed. Super quiet and no fumes is awesome. Putting lots of hours on her (65 in the last 4 weeks) and after a great afternoon session on Thursday something made me poke my head under the swim platform (boat is stored on a lift.) noticed the top screw of 3 total securing tube to the hull had sheared off. Seemed pretty stable so figured I would just replace the screw. On further inspection noted the cracks in the area where the attachment flange meets the tube. Removed FAE. Called company. Larry called me back within the hour (on Saturday!!) Asked if I had a cork gasket. We confirmed I did. Looked like the cork wore unevenly which apparently induced motion which grew over time resulting in failure of screw to secure to the hull. They apparently are using a 3M seal to replace the cork with better results. I will pass on specific info for those wishing to replace this winter if they are still using cork. I estimate this FAE had approximately 100 hours on it. Tube looked a lot worse when I actually got it off the boat -
FAE with asymmetric trim tab
Ramzety posted a topic in Centurion Boat Accessories, Electronics and Modifications
Just took some measurements for the asymmetric plate upgrade and I only have 10" to the FAE. Anyone have this problem, and can I extend the FAE to get 13" for the plate I am having fabricated with longer rubber hoses?
