Perfect thanks

Well you just about had me sold on doing gates. I cut out some cardboard templates and headed down to the marina where my boat is stored.

Because of the lines on my boat, I don't think the gates are going to work, unless I use a huge spacer block for the lower hinge.

Looks like I need to start saving for the Wakelogic controller...

Won't work if the hinges are on 2 different levels.

Just hinge the lower/longer part. If your HDPE is adequately thick it will work fine?

I don't know if I can fit 2 hinges on the bottom part, and it would depend on where the actuator mounts to the boat. Could put a twisting stress on it.

I'll have to go fool around with it some more tomorrow.

You can get 4” and 5” tall stainless hinges and just run the one is what he is referring to. And the end of the actuator will twist so if the angle tries to change some it will be ok to a point. If too much the load on the actuator will pop the fuse.

Just practice on the Nautique parked next to you. Practice makes perfect.
