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

    I thought they put that Stinger exhaust on the boats to help so that hydro locking did not happen.

    Pretty sure the issue was before that new exhaust came out.

    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.

    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.

    That's exactly what it is, because the motor sits so much lower due to the greater draft.

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