Heck you could add the additional actuator and just put it on manual switches. Same same.Quote:

Absolutely, I just started thinking about how do you mechanically (without an actuator) make something deploy downward, while it is attached to something that is also deploying downward? Obviously the engineers at SC decided an electric actuator is best, but I was stumped at the challenge of trying to figure out an alternative. A reverse lever is what I came up with. Just nerding out here trying to solve a hypothetical problem since I found it interesting lol.Quote:

For sure, the convenience of having it only the push of a button away is attractive but I would want to see the effects of the gate on the wave first if I could. I already weight my boat evenly so a quick change to one side or the other for a suckgate wouldnÂ’t be a huge hassle. As far as even weight goes and using delayed convergence, I would be willing to bet that Nauti and Malibu owners still list their boats to clean up their wave.Quote:

Yaw. It makes yaw. We are looking for yaw.Quote:

Make a mini suckgate and stick on the side of the boat. :)
Delayed convergence is what all surf gates, tabs, shapers, and listing do, in different ways. It's all the same result. A wave.Quote:

My comment about it being mythical is because their patent uses that term, but applies to everything. It really is a brilliant patent but is far too broad. But it’s too late for that critique, though.
I am going to patent accelerated convergence and sue them.

He would really only need 5-7 degrees below the boat bottom—thats where all mine were best. Of course considering errors in measurement. Measuring that angle is different every time it seems.Quote:
