By lapping it you sand down the high spots using a compound on the shaft so that when you mount the prop there is even contact across the entire taper.
There is a thread in the How To section that has a video about it but it didn’t get much traction so I figured I would ask here.

That sounds like a good idea....I tend to change props on my back in a driveway with an Acme prop puller inside of roughly 6 minutes. I have done this about a dozen times over 4 boats to date.Quote:

Trying to perfect the goofy wave. Just put in new wakemakers 1300 pound bags in the rear lockers. Total ballast is 4600#. Ran everything full (100%) except port side at 75%. Starboard plate at 0, center plate 0, and port plate at 60. Speed 10.1. Still working it.... open to suggestions!
Ya I mean it seems to be good practice and makes sense. Just wasn’t sure if it is necessary or required.Quote:

Paddle board sounds like a fun way to change one hahaha.

Nice!! [emoji106] Do you have any pics of the 1300s installed? Was it an easy install/swap? Is there much room on top of them?Quote:

I also wonder how much room exists above them when filled....Quote:

I’m thinking of putting a “bungee cargo” net on top using the old screw holes from the bins. I will take a picture next time I’m down there.
Any suggestions for getting lead?
Wake ballast, lead wake (both .com) have very nice bags. 1000# would be such an epic setup for what you have cooking!Quote:

Good to know!! Ya some pics of them full would be sweet! The bungee net seems to be a popular mod for areas like that and a great use of space.
Dakota4ce cover the lead
Why not use the factory preset autowake settings? I would think with 4600# you would have your amplitude near maxed out and simply let autowake do its magic.Quote:

Anyone have a link to decent bungee nets?

Only thing Autowake might do is drain....and if you can hit your angles without it, you keep all your weight onboard.Quote:

But robo manually drained his port side to 75%.Quote:

I would take 3-4% versus 25% lost.

Not even talking specifically about robo. Really just in general. Don’t lose any weight.
I will drain more than 4% if it needs to depending on your settings.
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Autowake is great if you already have a large crew and huge amplitude. Then some draining isn’t a big deal. But when the crew is smaller and I am going for the most I can, I keep it off.
Then there are several other times I use it regularly. In all the system is GOLD!

I fill 100% manual to start then pick the autowake surf 1 preset. Then when I pick the surf side I want it might drain 3-4% on non surfside.Quote:

Yes that means you’ve got it very close when it’s full all around. Do you use any supplemental weight? Or just factory ballast?Quote:

I have very real world experience with either and wont until my boat arrives but I have talked to a lot of people and done a ton of reading (in this cold crappy weather) and it seems that with Swell 3.0 you are able to surf with the boat weighted closer to even. I could be completely wrong on this and if I am then someone correct me as I really interested in learning as much about this as I can before my boat arrives.Quote:

Factory ballast only, 4-5 crew max. With my typical crew, Autowake is asking for more bow weight. But my crew likes sitting midship or rear.Quote:

So that makes good sense. The boat is set up to work properly from the factory. So with very level weight, it should make minor adjustments as you state.Quote:

As far as the difference between the surf systems, no not really I don’t think. You can always push the surf plate deeper into the water which will give the boat the angle it needs, but it does come at a cost of lift. My basic philosophy is ssinkthe boat as deep as possible and get the angles right using weight, and use as little surf plate as possible to form a wave. You could just ssinkthe boat as deep as possible with true level weight and use a little more surf plate to get the angles you need. But that does raise the rear a little.
If that all makes sense [emoji3061][emoji3061]

Was at the Detroit boat show, SE next to Makai

SE is just that big. This SE MSRP was $183k

Nice!! The SE is a awesome machine!!
So a little update. The boat is all but wrapped up for shipping! I am guessing it will start making its way south this coming week. I have actually gotten quite a few pictures which has been an awesome experience. Unfortunately I was asked not to share them on social platforms but as soon as it arrives I will definitely get some pics to share with everyone.

Home stretch!! Can’t wait to see pics when you get it.Quote:

Just ask your salesman, he will get you pics of your build.Quote:

Cool, thanks for the info. I get it they don't want pics posted online as build pics aren't really that flattering in terms of marketing a boat goes. I work in manufacturing so i'm going to geek out over mine if I get them lol.Quote:

Ya it is more of making sure that if there is anything in background that might be proprietary or a trade secret they don’t want that out there. Being in manufacturing my self I totally get it and have been geeking out over the pics. It is just cool to see it all come together!

Did you do the tour and if so how much of the facility do you get to tour (just the shop floor or other places)? Do they allow you take your own pics of your boat if you're there during the spray date? I know in our facility we don't allow anyone doing a tour to take pictures for the same reasons mentioned so competitors don't see something they're not supposed to. Sorry for all the questions as I wasn't sure if you went to TN or just had pics sent to you along the way.Quote:

Thanks man!! Ya it will be both Conroe and your shop! I am not sure what all is entailed in taking delivery from Rinker's but I plan to take the boat to Conroe the first weekend and do the "break-in" on Saturday (going to be a long day) then be able to play on Sunday and then take it in for the 20hr service to get that out of the way and be ready for the summer. I have a friend that has a place on Conroe where we usually stay so it makes it easy to be up early and stay late.Quote:
