Air in Ballast Bags - 22 Mojo

Tremendous asset to the wake community.

It don't believe it needs to be raised for the wake makers kit as the point of the kit is to increase your displacement which should increase your "amplitude". Now that being said my amplitude bar is terrible. It has never really worked well as it seems like there is air trapped in it sometimes. I know I have read that it actually needs to "warm up" before it works well so maybe I need to pay attention to it later in my runs but there are times where I have a crew of 8-10 and are at full ballast (4,700 in water and 1k in lead) and the actual side of the bar is just pegged at the bottom. I don't worry about it to much any more as I have disabled the part of the autowake logic that uses it. You can read about that here in ragboy's post #89

Mine varies as well, sometimes it shows nothing and other times is shows 100% which is why I feel like there might be air stuck in it a times.



Did you do the amplitude like that or the inclinometer? I have done my inclinometer like that and I know there is way to calibrate the draft sensor I just don't remember where I read it. If you come across that video can you share it?

I know people have been setting up boats for years with out all of the fancy tech we have now but when I hear that people don't use Autowake I always wonder why. I will admit it took me a little bit to sort it out and get it dialed, but after watching and reading a bunch of Ragboy's stuff on Youtube/Wake9 Autowake works amazing for me and my wave is so consistent. I love it.

You know what....it WAS the inclinometer I calibrated last summer! . Sorry! I gotta stop posting after a few drinks!!

Side note and not related to your post Hayden: I know I probably sound like a Ragboy (Robert) fanboy but I honestly feel like he is a huge asset to the surfing world with his wealth of knowledge and information he has out there especially to us SC customers. If you have a Moomba or Supra you can basically go to his youtube, look up your specific model of boat and he has a video telling you the exact formula to get a great wave. Maybe I am in the minority on that but I feel like most other brands don't have this.

Tige did, until Robert changed brands. Tige was the best, until, you know, SC put him in a boat.

couldn’t agree more I just find myself telling people to reference this or that and it is all his stuff lol

Drink on my friend!!

For me it really isn’t even about his love for SC or this boat or that boat as much as it is his technical data but I get what you are saying.

I don’t care if Robert gets an SC boat or a Tige, more the power to him.

His knowledge helps no matter the brand, it’s a bonus that it helps SC boats more specifically.

Does this allow Autowake to function properly too or just allow the bags to fully fill?

FYI...I just tried unplugging mine this weekend and worked fine. No error codes. I just use the timers and overflow.

Everything TXsurf just said! A cheaper quick fix is to install an air bleeder valve in the top of the bag. I did this to my stock Makai bags. It worked fairly well. You can find them on Amazon or lots of other places. They are primarily used for irrigation lines. IF I recall correctly, you need 3/4" for the stock bags.

Super old thread, but trying to not fight the air this season.

How are these working for you? Do you still use them? $7 each x 3 is a cheap $21 fix.

I actually only had one per bag, and they worked pretty well. I dont have them in now that I got the WM upgraded bags. They stood just tall enough that they hit the cover when the bags are full. There may be some lower profile, but I have not checked. I am going to plumb some tubing into my existing overflow vents,but just haven't done it yet.

I figured 1 in each bag but I don't think it will fit on the bow bag.
Certainly would help on my 1100's in the rear.
