    Default Wakeboards hitting the back of the boat

    I dont think I can stop people from hitting that back of the boat with the wakeboards when they are putting it on or off. I have scratches right above the swim deck from continuous banging of boards.

    How do you get the scratches out or stop them from happining?? I catch myself hitting the board there all the time!!

    I tell people to put the board on while sitting on the swim platform and that's what I do as well.

    same here the idea of the fins of the board digging into the sea deck pad when you jam your foot in the bindings don't sound good either along with scratchs but i think it was maybe newty who used strips of his old swim platform pad and put it there...looks pretty nice and serves a good function

    Yeah, then after they do get the board on, they'll scrape the seadek, edge of the swim platform, and your board trying to get in the water. Not on my boat!

    You guys are doing it all wrong, you make 'em sit thier butts on the platform and put their gear on. No scratches and they slide right into the water.

    Having had the Seadek pad the longest here i can tell you it's a lot tougher than you think. Going into my third season with it and after wakeboards, surfboards, four grandsons, drunk friends and the dog it only has one mark on it that i can remember. Not a bad deal i'd say.

    I would put some sea deck pad on your transom.

    But we're like max, put your gear on facing the boat. grab the rope short and hop backwards into the water. I'm on my second season with my sea deck pack and not one mark fron any fins, slalom or wkaeboard.
