Boat is put away for the winter at the farmer (ex farmer) across the road. Waiting for him to put it in its final spot then I have a tarp to go over it. The nice thing is that I can walk over and check out the boat any time..

I see it has a couple of friends in there to keep it company over the break. Wonder what they will talk about when nobody is around?Quote:

We will have another 90+ plus degree weekend. Could get the boat out again, but have to work.

I still love that colour scheme on your boat. That boat is going to look amazing forever. That does it… my next boat is going to be blue & black.
I built a 2020 online for fun…Quote:

That’s funny. Here is the 2022 Craz we ordered.

When I did the SC tour this summer, 80% of the boats in the build process were a black/blue scheme.Quote:

But when you offer 3 blacks and 5 blue gelciat options, it makes sense.

Guys, the week was so big that it was almost hard to surf. This wave was at least 4 feet tall. It only took me a whole season to figure it out. Lol [emoji23]Quote:

My mojo likes weight. Adding 750# of lead under the hinge seats as far back as possible made a huge difference. Now with a full ballast and even with a small crew of 3 and sometimes even 1 the wake is really good.
Just think, 750# that’s like having 5 people on a boat.
Please note that I have a flow 3 autowake with the yaw plates. These plates activate even if the autowake is turned off. The amount of deployment is based on displacement so be sure to have your displacement calibrated correctly.
Also, the displacement will offset your tabs either by +10 or -10 depending how the displacement sensor is reading. If you are between 0-30 displacement and your tab is set to 50 the system will offset it to 40. Between 33 and 66 it will match your setting and 66 and above it will at 10 making it 60.
If you have bunch of weigh in the boat you can use the tab to give the boat the roll you need but if you are running lean that high tab will further push your boat out of the water.
One last thing. As my lake is being now being prepared for the winter and the water level is dropping in can definitely tell the difference when going with or against the current. There are times that we have to adjust the speed from 10mph while against the current to 11.2mph while going with the current.
I have a zero off GPS on my boat and I wish there was a way to turn it off and use the paddle wheel, which my boat came with. I think that some people call it a River mode.
If anyone knows how to do it, please let me know.

I noticed that last weekend on my lake. The zero off GPS that is. We had a LOT of rain and they opened up several flood gates. We had a very noticeable current, and I had to really change my normal speeds depending on which way I was headed in the lake. I too wished I could have had a paddle wheel then. I am just going to have to find me some lead for next year. I have a good wave setup on the Makai with a 3 person crew. But man I want it super big after seeing this! LOL! Anybody got some they want to unload?Quote:

Winterization was so easy this year.
Crossover hose
Trans plug
Heat exchanger plug
Intake hose plug
Impeller housing
Awesome access on the current Gen SA.
Swapped out impeller while it’s accessible.

Sad day today.
Mojo is tucked away for winter.
All Plugs pulled (fyi older boats don't have a crossover have to pull brass plug on manifold -1 each)
Oil changed - extractor for the win easiest oil change ever
Impeller open and out - bought the tool last year 5 minute job
Spark Plugs changed - uppers are a B***h because everything is in the way
Ballast impellers done - easy but port side mounting board wasn't mounted down but it is now
Wife wiped down everything and we plugged in the battery charger.
Would have pictures but my oldest broke her wrist this weekend also so it's been a little crazy.
Ouch! Sorry about her wrist. My daughter fractured hers in cheer years ago when she was about 10. Healed up fine thoughQuote:

Otherwise, once i remove that plastic cover from the surf locker, the oil, impeller, and heat exchanger were easy to get to.
My 18 had the same short trans hose. Hated that, if I still had my 18, extending that would have been a must.Quote:

Just cylindrical HX plug

Raw water pump.
21 has a improved surf locker access panel and with the rear locker dividers out, access is much improved over my 18.
