wakeplate travel and flow 3.0?

found lencos catalog, looks like they have 2 options for travel, 2.25 and 4.25, im going to go measure and see

ok, actuator measures 10in, and seems to be a 101 XDS model, but the branding is 9L HP 4 on all 5 actuators. not listed on lencos sheet so it may be a custom config with reduced actuation.

mine are only extending 1.125", half of lencos shortest one listed.

ok, so figured out that the settings button works, i was just not pushing hard enough. They used a thick rubber button to push a tactile switch, so there is subtle click when pressed hard enough.

I did find in the settings menu surf and yaw plate reset. but that looks like it is only if they get stuck down or something.

anyone know what the dealer options are? I am still wondering about the travel for the wakeplate. Can anyone verify length of travel, and/or if it moves 0-100 or are others getting limited 0-70 or 30-100 movement?

Mine definitely goes from 0-100 on the screen. If no one has a measurement to you by Friday I'll get you one. There is a dealer options menu but not sure that would really help you.

I wish we had some of that equation. I would mind drilling a few holes in my surf tabs to add some l shaped aluminum if I knew it would help and not be a waste of time.

You would be better off cutting the plate adding a hinge with some bracketry and a turnbuckle to replicate the way 3.0 works. You would have to adjust them manually when needed. At first when I saw 3.0 I thought about taking my plates off and having them press broken to replicate but with the "Go Home Leveling" and Launch Assist (I think that is what it is called) the Flow plates are used so you need to be able to return the little tab to a neutral position so that option was out. In the end all 3.0 really does is make your wave a bit cleaner with a degree or 2 less roll. I decided it was something I could live without considering transfers aren't all that important to me and my crew but don't get me wrong if I built a new boat I would definitely option it with it lol

mine goes 0-100 on screen as well, it is just that the physical travel is only 0-70 or 100-30 depended where you start.


also, noticed that the surf plates max out at 90, but the manual adjustment on screen with the -/+ goes to 100, yet the "actual" on screen stops at 90

im thinking these may just be misses on the software end. I also emailed LENCO for specs, the fact that my actuators are not listed makes me worry a little bit less about the super short travel.

Are you having issues with your wave or just analyzing the tab travel?

just overanalyzing the tab... the engineer in me gets hung up on the details.

I completely understand. I do the same.

"Just because you can, doesn't mean you should". That's what Jeff Goldblum said on Jurassic park! LOL! I sometimes get like that too, and I think back to an old professor I had in college when we were doing some thermodynamics lab experiments on cooling towers. This was back in the day of using green graph paper and the little black and white lab notebooks to record everything. He looked over what several of the groups were doing at the time and said: " Just because you can record a data point doesn't mean you should". You have to be able to know which type of data is important and what it will tell you. If your not careful, you will end up with lots of numbers and graphs that dont really contain useful information, and won't do anything but confuse you." He was very right I think.

totally... i am a Mech E. so i get it. it just bothers me that the screen (0-100) does not match end to end in physical form. I am fine with the travel, or lack thereof if that is how it was best engineered. I am assuming/hoping that running the actuator for 30% at the end without travel doesnt cause premature wear or something.
