Water coming through walkway 2015 210

[lucky7t]

Anyone else have an issue with water coming in rear walkway when you stop while surfing ??

Had about 5 inches of water in hull after one day of surfing.

It is an a absolute must to turn hard rt and back off the throttle at same time when surfer falls. This does two things. One the wave does not come in back of boat because it is no longer facing that way. And two it allows you to wait and turn in side the rollers so you can go back to get your fallen rider with the waves coming in the front as well.

If you have a goofy footer then turn to the left. The other thing you can do it back off the throttle slower. The same thing can happen in a G if your tanks are full and you pull back on throttle to fast when pulling a boarder. It doesn't happen when surfing.

I've never had water over the back walk-thru. I typically turn when backing off the throttle but there has been times when I couldn't. I have 2k in ballast in rear lockers and never an issue. But I also never just slam the throttle into neutral from surf speed either.

This is a 2015 210 with the walk through . It's factory ballast with the factory upgraded ballast. If you stop to let the waves hit the back of the boat then water comes into the boat. I've had multiple Nautiques but none had walkthroughs and never had this issue. Nautique needs to address this issue . I don't power turn . I stop and slowly go back to surfer . I'll try the turn left (goofy) while stopping .

Yup ours has the walk thru also. When the rider falls pull back slowly on the throttle and turn away from the surf wave. The only way for Nautique to "fix" this would be to remove the walk thru. That would be a step backwards.

This happens almost every time while wakeboard on the G23. I don't think it is all that much of a pressing need to address. It is easily fixable with a change of driving habits.

I've always had a joke whenever I see someone get in the boat dripping wet that I yell at them not to get the boat wet. I don't mind if my boat gets wet while I'm at the lake.

Thanks for the replies. I tried the turn when stopping and yes it stops it. Now I have to teach the wife
Thank you for the advise

I have a 14' SANTE 210 with 2 800lb sacks in the rear lockers as well and a 600lb in the bow and have yet to have the water come in the back. I have had the water come over the bow when I'm turning into the waves though. That is also with me pulling the throttle back immediately when the surfer falls. Now I throttle back and wait for the waves to pass. Then I turn back and has stopped the waves coming in the bow.

I have 2015 210 with 750lb in each rear compartment and it has never came thru the walk way. When surfing we throttle down (sometimes fast and sometimes slow) it has never been an issue. We wait till rollers go by then we turn back to get the rider.
I know G's have this prob but not my 210.

Sounds like you guys never drove old 94-97 sports weighted down to ride back in the day. With its heavily sloped rear and low freeboard all serious OG riders had to learn how to properly stop. Turning works ('cause obviously if your rider falls you're probably going to turn around and get them), or if you're not turning for some reason, you can always do the old school stop. If you claim it happens everytime you ought to be prepared for it- all you have to do is not drop all the way into neutral, and give it a little gas as the wave comes- its kind of a two part move, but the roller won't go near your rear pads if you pull away as it comes up.

Nautique needs a flip up panel, similar to NASCAR vehicles that pops up in the back of the rear pass through when ever you rapidly decelerate! But as already mentioned, turning one direction and slowly decelerating prevents the issue. I also back up slightly which pulls the boat back to center and allows you to retrieve the rider without driving through your rollers when you turn around.
