Must be a ski instructor or guard the Pope or something.
Pope guard haha funny! you forgot watchmaker. I work for swiss air navigation services as a technical supervisor (something like FAA in the U.S)
gurt,
I wasn't following all the Swiss stuff. Wish I would have known as the Swiss Wakesurf Championship was just held a few days ago. Some of the best women riders in the world were there including Rebecca Ort & Raleigh Hager. It's a stop my family hopes to make it to in the next 2 yrs.
ok, I didn't know about this championship. I posted a picture (it as to be checked by moderator) of your ballast setup that I've done (like yours) but a bit more detailed (to be sure that I understood it well).
Post approved.
Dang it, can't believe I forgot about watchmaking and the army knives.
cheesemaker...
Maybe the hose between the 370 vent and the left 1100 can be 1" because it's used to fill ?
yes, you could actually upgrade all the vent lines to 1" while you're at it. factory has done this for '13 and going forward with the thought that if you're pumping water in thru a 1" then you should be venting with 1" to avoid any issues.
Ok, thanks for info (it seems to be logic to have the same section everywhere). So my schematic is correct ?
The TH off the boat are ok for the 1" or do I have to replace them ?
Thanks
I checked everything and my order is placed ;) (I took some TH 1" in case I have to replace the stock one's) and hope I forgot nothing ! (I always took one extra items of each except the bags :rolleyes:). Just have to wait now...
Thanks for your help guys ! to be continued...
you did good by ordering the 1" TH's as you will need them if you upgrade the vent line to 1".Quote:

I'm not sure. Guess you'll have to let us know.
Stock ballast what should i set right left and bow to?
Surfside full, center full, people on surf side & in bow. Wakeplate 3/4 to full up and 10.0-11.0 mph.Quote:

The factory wont tell you, nor will the dealer, or anyone else selling the boat say you need a very Minimum of 1100 in the rear and 1000 up front to make a decent surf wave on the Mojo, or most any boat for that reason.
The Mojo is a big wide boat, and if its not leaning then you wont have power and push in the wave.
The best you can do with a factory set up is fill the reg bag 100% fill the starboard bag 30% and fill the center hard tank 100% and go about 10.2 with wake plate 100% up.
Its a surfable wave if you have experience and a good board, but its a short small pocket.
I'm thinking of doing close to this same setup in my 2012 LSV. I would add the 2 1100s in the rear lockers, and an IBS. I would also upgrade the vent line from the center bag to 1" so it could fill the IBS. Is there anything else I need to know?
Thanks
Moombadaze, yes I am running stock ballast. I now realize that I need much more ballast.
The LSV likes that set up, you will want to run about 400lbs of offset weight in the starboard locker when surfing regular to keep the boat from rolling over too much, and it will help add more power into the wave.Quote:

Thanks. Somehow everybody in the family is goofy.
It's too hard to stay in the pocket with the stock gravity III
In that case i Extreamly highly reccomend you plan to run weight under the seat behind the driver. Claudia is goofy and untill we added the 450 bag under the seat she was happy, but not excited. After the 450 bag she was super excited about the wave.Quote:

You simply don't have the boat set up properly. Do a search on how myself and/or mandley have our boats weighted.Quote:

Yes, boat setup is the issue. Stock ballast is not acceptable for good let alone great surfing.
Just placed my order for the 1100s, IBS, and other misc parts. I decided to keep my 3/4" TH and just reduce the vent line coming out of the bosworth from the center bag. Looking forward to the install.
Hi ! Received my order but I wasn't at home. I can pick it up at the post office on monday (2x1100lbs, 370lbs and IBS).
I will install it on Thursday :D
I saw the post where you installed the additional ballast, but doing so reduces all your storage for bumpers, towels, anchor, life jackets, etc... or am I missing something?
You become very good at packing light and using the storage effectively.. No wasted space or extra crap you never use..

First off, Great info here... Thanks for the detail.
I just took delivery of my new MOJO (2012 model) last week. I am just getting to know the boat and being new to surfing, thought it was OK but nothing like the picture in this thread. I guess I don't know what I am missing yet...
I am getting back to the lake next week and plan on some upgrading right away but I have a few questions. Please excuse the ignorance but I am literally just one week into this sport.
Why add the check valves in the vents, better for complete drain?
On the Wakemakers site they only refer to the MOJO in the 2013 section, I assume this is where I should be looking and its the Fly high 50x24x24?
I am planning to ease into the mods but thought I would start with an 1100 in the port locker (no goofy surfers yet), 400 in the stock starboard locker, fill the hard tank and perhaps use the stock port bag up front. The way its set up stock I am seeing big changes just from me moving from the drivers seat to the back and letting my wife take the wheel. Can I assume that with this full upgrade set up the wake is more resilient to change as 180 pound passengers move around?
THANKS,
Throw the traditional bumpers away or on Craigslist and buy some hippity hop balls or the ones from Exile. Deflate when not in use and they store easy. You can fit a weeks worth of towels behind the observers seat along with life jackets req'd by authorities. Other jackets under rear seat and/or over ski pylon. Box anchor, emergency tow rope, paddle all fit alongside IBS in starboard bow area. Boards in racks and you can even store some on top of whatever side you're not surfing on. Throw the soft side cooler behind drivers seat and snacks under observers seat.Quote:

This is the bag:

Spend the extra $$ and get a color that compliments your boat.
Your plan to use the stock bag in the bow (under the filler cushion, if you have one) will work fine to start. You'll eventually like having the IBS and bag plumbed in so you dont have to mess with a portable pump, IMO.
Moving 180 lbs will still make a difference, just not as dramatic.
Have fun, post up some pics of your progress!
Thanks! I am going to grab one of those bags locally if i can find one in stock. Also, it would be nice to raisin those bags as currently I end up lifting one end in order to drain the water into the pump when it starts making noise.
On another note, is it worth trying to support the inner wall of the locker to prevent bowing in towards the engine compartment? Even with the small bag mine is bowed in...
I will let you know how it works and take some pics....
I haven't reinforced mine and they have bowed, just not enough for me to care. Yet. I would do it if you get the 1,100
follow these steps:
https://forum.moomba.com/showt...013-mod-thread
You mean these steps?: https://forum.moomba.com/showthread....-1100-Fat-Sacs
Ok, picked up an 1100 and a tsunami pump. I hear you on the full plumb in, and i will get there, but i dont mind having the pump around until then.
As soon as i pulled away from the store, i thought i should have grabbed TWO 1100's then i can use both the stock bags up front. I guess I'm going back.
Two more questions:
1. I still need check valves..... I read above that they are 1" everywhere??? Is that correct? I thought i also read on another thread that they were 1"fill but 3/4" vent???
2. Do you simply splice these in close to the TH?
Thanks,
In the 2012 its 1" for the front tank and 3/4" for the rear lockers
OK then....
I have not seen the 3/4" check valves, only 1 and 1 1/8. Can i assume the 1" will work onto the vent line of the 2012 mojo rear bags? Derek, is this why you referenced your use of the hair dryer to assist in the fitment? If not, let me know if you have been able to source the 3/4 valves.
Also, i did some checking and realized i may have less stock ballast than i thought. GIII in 2012 was only 1250 which would make the rears 400 a piece ( thought they were 625 ea). Good news is i can daisy chain them for the bow. Other than a short hose, will i need more fittings or will the 1100's have the fittings i need? i plan to use the bottom fill ports for connecting them, so thats two 1" quick connects and cap the others as fill/drain ports....
I ordered my 3/4" valves along with everything else from wakemakers. http://www.wakemakers.com/wakeboard-...n-check-valves
