HELP wanted with 2020 Craz wave

[miltonbradley]

So picked up the new boat and having a hard time dialing in the wave. I did upgrade the factory rear bags to the 1190 wake makers bags. have tried tabs at 65-80 percent wp at 0 and around 10.8-11.2 mph. front bag usually at 100 percent. surf side 100 and other side 60-70... Im a bigger guy 250lbs just seeing if anyone can give me any info that might help of that I am doing wrong. There is usually 3-4 people in the boat. Again I appreciate any help or ideas. thanks in advance

What are your pitch and roll numbers?

I will admit that I forgot to get yesterday when I was out.

Speed is good....Fill front and surfside 100%, non-surf 85%.

(Ideally get some lead so you can fill 100% all the way around)

Surf tab around 85%, wakeplate 0-10%

Does your Autowake surf presets not give a good wave?

Fill all bags to 100%, then engage autowake. Move passengers to surf side and watch Autowake to see where it’s wanting to take water out. Move people to the opposite location.

In my Craz I have upgraded bags and 500lb of lead at mid/rear location on both sides.

At 250lbs you can still surf, but really you need more ballast. I’d also recommend adding a 400 or 700lb bag on the surf side towards the rear. I’m 210, so I know the need for extra ballast.

NICE Wave! thanks for the reply I will try that this weekend

no its short and decent height not much push

Push seems to be greatly increased with more ballast and displacement.

Key is to find your pitch and roll that gives you a good shape and clean wave, use minimal wake plate (I only tweak wakeplate slightly if I lose my pitch mid session), once you have that figured out, add lead midship to increase push with displacement.

Here is our 2019 Craz (stock ballast) setup that works every time:

Autowake OFF
300lbs of lead evenly distributed evenly under rear bags
100lbs of lead evenly distributed evenly in the bow
Fill all ballast 100%
Wakeplate at 0-10
Leave surf plates at factory settings
Speed = 10.8-11.2

Tip 1: Make sure your bags are actually full, and burp any air out of the bags. We do this once per weekend. The tanks are on timers and will some times lie to you. Our front tanks are rarely even close to full when the pump shuts off.

Tip 2: Get a good board. The best thing I ever did as a bigger rider on a small-ish wave was get a Slingshot Coaster. You will not regret it. Use all 3 fins at first, then start removing them for more fun as you get comfortable.

Tip 3: Autowake: just don't use it until you get your wave dialed in without it. We never use at this point, and always have a great wave.

I changed my pitch and roll settings, does anyone remember the default numbers for a Craz? Also everyone up to this point was surfing regular and a new person is goofy. I have not really messed with that side for making a wave. Does anyone have some rough, pitch, roll, speed and surf tab settings?

You should be able to go back to factory presets, but IIRC it should be 9° pitch and +5° and -3° roll

Exactly what recipe did you do to achieve this, I need more length in my wave. I have. 17 Craz , no auto wake!
WakeMAKERS 1100s in the back.
