wakemakers upgrade

[mikepo26]

08 LSV wondering who has done the wake makers upgrade? Any hints, reviews, ideas, or help would be appreciated.

If your talking about upgrading gravity ballast to reversible system I did it last year on my 2007 LSV and it is totally worth it.

No question it's worth it.

There are multiple threads on here on how to do it. Try to search on upgrade.

Weekend project. Takes a little time to plan things out at the start - where to drill the new holes, where to mount pumps, electrical setup, etc.

Helps to have 2 people.

I will look using upgrade. I found out my 08 lsv has a 340 not a 325, so i am celebrating with an upgrade

I did it on my 07 LSV and it is great. Not too difficult at all. Just takes some time. There are a few threads on it somewhere.

Post any questions you have. There are a few of us on here that have done the upgrade.

There are also videos on Wakemakers and YouTube.

For example, when you drill the new holes in the bottom of the boat, there is a method to keep it from cracking the gel. If you have never done it, it’s weird to drill holes in a good boat.

and thats why i love this forum all very helpful. i work at a honda car dealer as a tech for my career, so i am hoping this is a good job for a spring day off before the season gets going
any word on a suck gate, any brands better then others,
i am getting the ronix u shaped bow bag for under the seats also with 910 in each locker, she better surf well with this lol

You can make a suck gate yourself for about $30 worth of materials. This is what many have done.

I run 1100s in my rear lockers. Search for a thread about reinforcing your lockers to keep the plastic engine divider from bowing over time. That a quick project with maybe $40 worth of materials.

I did it last year on my 07 LSV. Pretty straight forward. Much easier with two people for bits of it. One of the hardest parts was deciding where to put the pumps as nobody would commit to the best location. Well worth the time and effort. I did find that my front cup holders pushed out when the bow bag was full as did the front hatch. Apparently drain pipe is the best fix for the cup holders but as yet having found a fix for the hatch. ������
