Surf Setup - 2016 Mojo - HELP!

Thought I would chime in, finally got my '15 throwing a nice wave. We surf goofy side - last time only had 4 people out and the wave was still nice. I also had to recalibrate the digital speedometer with the paddlewheel offset adjustment as it was about 2 mph off. I've got 1100's in the rear lockers and added the stock 650 bag to the starboard side under the seat right in front of the 1100. This seems to have made all the difference. I run the surf side bags full, non surf rear bag at around 50%, auto surf plate at 50%, 0% IBS. The more ballast I let out of the front the better the wave was. The boat is defintely listing to the surf side and the wake surf plate actually isn't doing all that much, but im happy because I've finally got a surfable wave with plenty of push. I plan to piggy back the stock bag to the 1100, right now I'm filling it manually with a pump which is a bit of a pain. Anybody have any advice on how to piggyback bags? I was just going to run a line out of the overflow of the 1100 to fill it but not sure how it will be able to drain. Thanks.

Ruzz,
Did you fill the center tank?

I just ran a short section of hose with fittings from the bottom forward edge of my 1100 into the bottom edge (former fill) of my stock 650. Then I capped the overflow of my 1100 and re-routed the boats overflow into the stock 650. You'll have to watch the 650 though as it will push your seats up if you wait until the overflow starts to run out the Side of the boat. It took me a few fills to bleed all of the air out of the bags too since the 650's are too big for that space. Just make sure the bags are oriented with a plug in an accessible spot before you start to fill them.

Yes, i started with the IBS full and the center tank full, but the wave wasn't quite there - not much push. I flipped the switch to drain the IBS and rode a bit with just the tank and it was ok, but then we emptied the center tank as well and it got way better. The wave was best when it was totally empty. Granted, now the bow is sticking in the air and the boat is listed to the side like a boat without a surf system, but this has been the only way I've been able to surf behind this boat since I've had it. I was literally ecstatic when I was finally able to ride - I had the boat listed for sale and was looking into trading it in on something else and now I'm keeping it!

Thanks for the info - my 1100's don't have any fittings on the forward side though, just the fill and drain ports on the back side and the overflow on the top. Maybe I need a different type of bag or am I missing something? I have the flyhigh 1100's I think.

Funny because I feel like I can't get enough weight in the front.

We all surf goofy and I run probably 800 on my starboard side and 500 on the port, center full and 500 IBS full. With that the wave was tall but not long enough. Now I do all of that plus add my old 650 IBS on top of my bow seats. That helped lengthen the wave considerably.

The regular side I've yet to figure out (ask russellsmojo)

I hear you. I just bought 300#'s of sand bags from Home Depot tonight to supplement the 750 IBS next week when we're back at the lake. Going to move them around and see what works best before I decide to invest in a more permanent additional ballast solution. I really wish the IBS had longer legs, I've got plenty of room up there under the seats.

We've had the best luck with everything full (hard tank, 750 IBS, 1100's and as much of the 650's under the rear seats) and fully deploying the auto flow, wake plate 100% up. Did have to dump some off the rear offside to clean up the goofy wake. Wave looks good, massive right behind the boat, hoping more front weight lengthens it out.

I believe I bought the Wakemaker branded 1100's. Several different holes to plumb into.

The Fly High 1100 (W719-EXV) has fill/drain plugs on both ends while the W719 has a fill/drain on one end only. I got the EXV and connected it to a Fly High 11004 375# tube sac under the port side seats. That was the only way I could get it to fill and drain both bags using the pump. Prior to that I used the W719 with one fill/drain valve and connected the vent to the fill on the tube sac. That configuration filled fine but had to be manually drained.
