Centurions draft 10” deeper than moombas and Supras, this might have something to do with it.

This is the video I watched and its from this year. I'm not that familiar with what years but seems it was still a current issue and something to think about with those boats when sitting in a cove.

Yea - some owners pretty POed about that issue on those boats. Recall reading about it.
That video is from BoardCo, they are big dealer of that boat line - if not the biggest. So the information you get is different vs an owners who have gone through this. Just saying . . .
If you visit the other forums, you will not hear as many stories like you once did on the Centurion boards about hydolock on 6 figure boats. Not sure if they are on boats with rubber exhaust flaps OR that new exhaust OR both. All boats have issues - screens, software, electrical, etc, but this specific one more prevalent on Centurion.
Can also be caused by an item like a bad head gasket, bad rubber exhaust flappers or stopping the boat suddenly, killing the motor the exhaust pressure.
Want so see a Boat Salesman squirm? Go to the local boat show, go to the Centurion booth, bring this subject up.2018 Supra SL400

He's full of crap saying it's a problem on all boats. It's a Centurion problem, not because of the 5k ballast, it's because the boat drafts so much deeper and as a result the motor sits lower than any other boat, relative to the water line. Put 5k in a Supra, plus people on the back, you won't have this issue.

Geez they even came up with a fancy name for it, “Passive Hydrolocking”. That is a marketing method of making it sound common.
I stand by my 10” deeper draft as root cause.

The bigger question is, with this design flaw, does Centurion warranty “passive hydrolock”?
