15 Mojo Wake Surfing Setting

[pdhj1990]

I took our 15 Mojo with auto surf out today to dial in the wake surf wave. Here's how we set it up:


Auto surf engaged
1,100 rear ballast per side (stock was 750)
650 bow ballast - I think the stock bow ballast is 650
Cruise 11.5
Trim tab half way
Driver and one other person in the boat (person sitting in the bow weighs about 115)


The wave was decent - tall but short.

Any suggestions.

Well your on the right track...I've never surfed a mojo but these moombas love bow weight. Have you considered upgrading to a 750ibs? I've also seen a 325lb bag under the port seat.

I haven't used the auto flow, but you probably need to dump 10-15% out of the non-surf side, plate 100% up and you shouldn't have to be faster than 11.1 mph.

[pdhj1990]

Do you think I need added bow ballast, as noted in BrettLees' post?

Yes, if you don't have an IBS you will not be pleased with the wake.
I run a fly high 650 and another 400 on top of the playpen, along with rear 900's filled completely.
I am selling my 650 to upgrade to 750 if you are interested.


2012 Mojo

[pdhj1990]

The boat has the auto surf package which includes IBS. I upgraded the rear ballast sacs to 1,100. I don't recall the combined weight of the bow IBS and the hard tank in the 15 Mojo.

[wolfeman131]

You should be fine w/ just the IBS and center full.

[rdlangston13]

My buddy Robert just bought a 2015 Mojo with manual flow and we have been trying to dial in his surf wave with not that great of luck. He has the surf ballast package, may just need more weight

I don't get it. At the photo shoot, I walked on the dock, made sure we had 1,100's in the back, filled the reg side 100%, goofy 90%, center full and IBS full with the manual flow in the 2nd position. Wife & 2 kids on the regular side and we had a great wave.

11.5 seems fast, try slowiing slightly, it will shorten the pocket, but make the wave steeper. Do you have the surf tabs at 100% on the non surf side, you can set the max throw in the vessel settings. Mine was at max 60 port, 50 starboard from the factory.

I just talked with my buddy with Mojo and he said he has 650s on each side in the rear, maybe thats the problem, perhaps he needs 1100s.

Does the Mojo require any specially shaped 1100 bag for the rear? or is the standard giant rectangular one from fly high the way to go? Maybe post up a link???

[wolfeman131]

Yep! That is probably the problem. I ran the standard 1,100's.

[mmandley]

You can put any bag in the Mojo.

I have literally had all the following in it.

650
750
900
1100
1180
1500

If your running manual flow I suggest stopping at 900 rears. Anything more and the wave gets worse off when you weight both sides.

If you want to stick to traditional weighting then put anything you want in it.

Be advised though that goofy is best suited with traditional weighting and flow deployed on setting 2.

Mike,

How much lead, I saw in another thread you are running some lead in the mojo?

[mmandley]

I am running lead but it's honestly to benefit my goofy wave for Claudia

Since I run classic Exile amps, and golf cart batteries I have 160+ extra on regular. Enough so that the boat leaned to one side.

So I added weight to the goofy to balance the boat. Then added more to the nose to lengthen the wave

But to have clean surf waves you don't need the lead. the first season we didn't run any. We added last season to help clean up goofy more.

For the record we do run 400lbs. 260 goofy. 140 reg. The lead is 120 goofy in front of drivers dash in nose. 140 behind drivers seat in storage compartment.
140 regular side in storage compartment behind batteries.

Now the boat technically leans slightly starboard but since everyone likes sitting port side it's very easy to level.

[wakemitch]

I really want to try the Mojo because I have heard a lot of good things. I dont see many out in California :(

[pdhj1990]

I'll take some wake pics this weekend.
Thanks.

[mmandley]

I would expect nothing less out of the new longer hull 15 then my 13.

With the correct setup.

With the correct setup.

Yes of course, thats what we are trying to help him with yes?

[wolfeman131]

We're definitely on the same page.

[kenn1282]

My new mojo has the 650's in the rear. Where is the best place to get the 1100's? Are they easy to swap out?

[jmvotto]

wakemakers.com , the classifieds here, and yes they are easy.

[kenn1282]

Thanks!! That was fast!

Hi everyone... I've been playing around with my 15 Mojo getting ready for the Summer Season... We tried out the stock bags back in late march (56deg water=not fun)... I do have the auto-flow system on my surf-edition. The shape of the wake was good, but definitely not enough volume. Since then, I upgraded the rear bags from the standard 650/side to the Fat Sac 1100lb bags... I was able to play with this setup this past weekend (lake now 70 deg).... Major improvement on wake size, but the wave was lacking the push that we get out of my buddies 14 Supra. I've ordered an external pump to reuse the old 650 bags in the seats so I'll see how that goes (hopefully this weekend).

The best settings I have with my current setup is to fill the center & front bags 100%, surf side is 100%, and non-surf side is 80%. Autoflow 100% on the surf side and the wake plate about 1/4 up from the bottom. I'm running around 10.5mph.

What are others doing with their 15 mojo???

[wolfeman131]

try putting the wakeplate 100% up and running a little faster to get the height & length.

what model Supra and what is his setup?

Wakeplate too far down, try 90-100% down with wp.
Try adding 400 on surf side in bow as well on top of seats, should be great push!

[BamaMojo]

Sorry
90-100% up on the wp.


2012 Mojo

[ColoradoLake19]

We are running the IBS and rears full at 100%, letting 20% out on non surf side, flow tab at setting 2 and wake plate all the way up.

Just waiting for the ACME 2419 prop to be shipped next week and will see how that changes performance. We run at 5700 ft elevation here in Colorado with the 440 Raptor engine. Wakeboarding with the ballast full (2500#'s +3 people), it was having a challenge getting up to plane with the OJ 14.75 x 13.75 prop that came with the boat from the dealer.

Any suggestions on how to distribute weight and setup for surfing as we are still figuring it out. Been on the water 3 times this year (57 degrees water temp still)

[freshturk]

Demo'd a '15 Mojo surf edition with the auto flow. Hard tank + IBS and swapped out the rears to 1100s. 10.8, trim at 60%-ish. Filled everything and had 3 adults surf side and the wave had a great shape and plenty of push. Shape was identical to my Supras just with less push. An extra 400lb sac under port seats and it would have been really good. Impressed nonetheless for the price point. I was equally impressed with the new motor much to my chagrin because it may force me to upgrade in the winter.

[Brighter Days]

I have a 2015 Mojo surf edition with auto flow and have put about 50 hours on it surfing. I have not made any changes to it yet from stock and have gotten very inconsistent results from it. It seems every time we go out the sweet spot is a different combination of speed and weighting. I still have not figured this boat out. I will be replacing the 650s with either 900s or 1100s (if they fit without issues) and hope that improves things.

I will say the wake boarding wake is impressive and clean with most of my SAN friends complain that it is bigger than they are use to riding.

[North Woods Mobius]

I've got a '14 LSV with stock G III ballast. I had the manual Flow installed over the winter, so I reached out to Skier's Choice this week to have them provide their recommended boat set ups with stock ballast. They sent me the attached charts covering all 4 boats. Thought this was pretty handy and I haven't seen this before, so I thought I'd post these up here for your reading pleasure ....

That is a nice find. I have the Mojo with Autoflow and I am not sure I understand the numbers. When I flip my switch is goes to 100% on each side. This sounds like they suggest being able to stop at some point less than 100%. How do you accomplish this?

To stop at another % you just shut the switch off.

but to read the chart they are referring to % of weight. SO 35% of total weight in the Front and 65% of the weight in the rear.

Exp 2500 ballast
65% rear is 1600lbs
then 900 for the bow.

[nitrodude24]

I think the weight they are referring to may be passengers and cargo. Because they specify full factory ballast? Someone at SC needs to clarify

[greenmachine13]

You have to go into your settings on your display screen and change the maximum percent you want the autoflow to deploy at, say if you set the autotflow at 80% in your settings then go out and flip the autoflow switch to a side then it will only engage to 80% . You can not change the percent the tabs are engaged with the autoflow switch on your dash. I think most people are having trouble with there wake as they are keeping there autoflow at 100% , where around 70-85 works the best. Mind you we have only surfed our new mojo for 2 hours and are still working on the wake.

[ColoradoLake19]

Hi Trippcat,

on my '15 MOJO with Flow tab at second position we run all 2500#'s of stock ballast, place a 400# on the rear floor and two 150# on whichever side you are surfing on. We run 10.8 MPH and wake tab all the way up. It has created about a 4-5 ft wave to surf on! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x_NfLmcmybg

[ddissinger]

Need some help from everyone. I have the 15 mojo with auto flow and 2500 lb ballast. I fill up front and surf side 100% and non surf side about 75-80%. Changed the plates to 90% and lift the wake plate to 75% up. My problem is the speed. I have tinkered with everything but always have to run at 13.5mph. I get a great wave and awesome push. My sales guy does not believe me that i have to run that fast. When I drop anywhere below 13.5 my wave drops and gets really dirty on top. I have read from most that you all run between 10.8 and 11 something. What can my problem be?

I have had the boat full with 11 guys, the boat empty with just my wife driving, the boat with just my wife and 3 young kids. It's always the same.

[wolfeman131]

You sure your speedo is calibrated?
