Pulled the trigger on the 2.0 upgrade as well ... should arrive next week and be installed shortly after that. Looking forward to seeing the difference in the wave!
Also will have the manual flow for sale once it is done.
Where are the pics?Quote:

For people who upgraded from Auto Flow 1.0 to 2.0, how do you hook up your transom straps? It looks like the new bigger plates will be in the way.
I cut a slit in a pool noodle, attack to the tab to not chaf the strap,and not tighten as much. The only picture I have is this one with the old tab but you get the idea.Attachment 24260
Try adding a set of Bennett Drop Fins to the older style wakeplate. I have a set on order to install with my autoflow 2.0 retrofit kit from Wakeland. The drop fins add more surface area and is equivalent to 1 size larger trim tab.Quote:

I am no expert by any means, nor do I own a setup with surf tabs, but the more I research and *think* I understand how the systems work I have to wonder if the drop tabs will hurt performance...Quote:

All that said, it's just theory :)
That's exactly what Mastercraft did with their Gen2, and SC did with autoflow 2.0 tabs. The drop fins actually work by keeping more water channeled under the tab for a longer period of time, increasing their effectiveness. They also reduce spray from the tab.Quote:

If it doesn't work, I can just unbolt it and I'm only out $28.

On a 17 so I have the hooks on swim platform, but I used gates hydraulic hose sheath to cover the strap, pretty clean , seems to get the job done, no wear so far https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...60df1e3c19.jpgQuote:

I don't. But I only tow maybe 1 mile round trip. I kind of wish I had them for when I tow to the dealer 3 hrs away though, but I don't (knock on wood)Quote:

It won't in an accident, but for mumps down the road I think it helps keeping it straight on the rungs.Quote:

That's not true. At least not anymore. I just ordered the complete Autoflow 2.0 system direct from Wakeland MGF for my 08 LSV. Revived it right to my house in 3 days. They even said they'd walk me through the install over the phone if ran into any issues.
Sorry. I should have finished reading the entire thread.
please keep us updated on how the install is going, I have an O7 LSV and am very interested in getting one. I would love to see how it goes.Quote:

Wakeland says they don't sell direct to customers, go to your dealer. I called Atlanta Marine and they said they have never installed one and don't know anything about it. I emailed Wakeland again, and they said that Atlanta Marine just installed one this fall. LOL, the blind leading the blind.
:???:
I’m pretty sure that wakeland makes the OEM Flow products on current Moomba’s.Quote:

Mmandley did the wakemaker system with some good success. I would consider the wakemaker over the wakeland IF it had an infinite dial adjustment. My wakeland system only has 5 settings, of which I’m either using the 3 or 4 setting for the best wave.

Just installed.
Sorry for the poor pic quality.

looks great jeepers. did you do the install? was it pretty easy? Did you have to modify your swim deck? I have heard some people say they had to make some modification to make room for all the equipment.
I had planned to do the install. However, I ended up having my local shop do it. They did it for under $500. No modification to the swim deck or anything else. Direct fit. Wakeland’s System is model specific.Quote:

I know a different boat, on my 2007 SSV I had to put some spacers on top of the swim deck brackets. Probably 1/2" for the actuators not to hit. I have a pic floating around somewhere.Quote:

CAn you provide me with any additional details about where you purchased tabs, cost etc? Looking to upgrade my 2014 Moomba Mobuis LSV. Thx
Call Travis Turley at Wakeland MFG. *(865) 599-5221, [email protected]. You buy them directly from Wakeland, they ship them to your door. Since you already have the brackets, the new plates will be super easy to install.Quote:

Just thought I’d update my experience with the Wakeland mfg gen2 surf tabs. To recap; 08 LSV, acme 2315 prop, 1100’s each rear, 500 locker, 600 IBS + 100 lead, 300 lead mid ship. I had great success with the Mission Delta, just hated having to switch it and remember the best location. In addition, it occasionally would pop off.
This is the first season with the Wakeland system and I couldn’t be happier! Regular side wave was super easy to dial in, goofy side was a bit more difficult but we eventually got it; Though not as clean as regular. The wave is slightly larger. However, I think this is due to being able to fill rear ballasts all the way. With the mission delta, I still had to list the boat slightly to the surf side. The wave is definitely cleaner and longer with considerably more push. Once I got each side dialed in I programmed the settings into the Wakeland module. It switches sides super fast and effortlessly.
I’m quite impressed. It’s obviously not a cheap endeavor. However, a dealer friend of mine said I would make back every penny when I eventually sell or trade in the boat (we’ll see about that).
Hope that helps.
Here’s a picture of my 12 year old just getting up. Ballast was set about 50% to tame the beast a little for him.

Jeepers - when did you purchase your system?Quote:

At the end of last season. They are the larger Gen2 tabs and actuators. They actually included the small gen1 tabs at no additional cost.

Thanks. They looked like the bigger tabs.Quote:

Saw this for sale on Great Lakes Skipper! All you’d need to buy is the lenco actuators and the lectrotab controller which is who builds the controller for wakeland mfg.

I have the same surf system, and I ordered the Mission Delta, Spencer with Wake Maker is saying use both and the wave gets really crazy nice.
Thats how he is running his personal boat.
I’ve been thinking about trying that. I used the mission delta last year and was happy with the results. I’ve spent this summer fine tuning the auto flow 2.0 system I installed in the fall. I’ll have to give it a try.

Got the Autoflow 2.0 dialed in!! Only got pics of the goofy wave.
