I found a solution for flotation. I bought 2 knock off GoPro orange floaty's on Amazon. I may add a 3rd floaty but it floats on the pool.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...faf01b6cb6.jpg

Great idea , plus orange is easy to see in the water.
Quick reply to Brian that this has worked out fairly well for us.
There is definitely an art in getting it to suction on efficiently. It takes us 1-5 times before it finally sticks and we can't figure out what we're doing different when it does finally stick. Anyone with additional advice beyond scrubbing the hull to remove lake film and ensuring it isn't on a lip of any kind would be good to hear from. Just seems like sometimes it goes on first shot, and next time it can take upto 6 tries.
used it first time this past weekend and yes it makes a difference. really didn't put much ballast in in as it was later in the evening, but it sur did clean the wake up and made it much steeper in my opinion. 2 guys in the boat and maybe 400 lbs surf side and 100 non surf and it looked like i was sacked out.......it came off a few times , had a rope tied so didn't lose it , but thats when you could tell the difference. I like it , and 2 thumbs up
Something is up with the cups on a few of the newer handles. These things should not be falling off. I have a few handles that have shiny cups and do not stick like the others. I'm working on a fix and will report back soon.
Get it figured out?
Sorry if this has been discussed as I have not read the entire thread.Quote:

The mfg changed the cup chemistry so I will have to redesign around a different handle. Might be able to produce a few more with new old stock inventory.Quote:
