The knock sensor shouldn't be bad but stranger things have happened. Make sure when you put it in you don't use teflon tape or a sealant as this disrupts its ability to detect knock.

but, why would it only happen when surfing? after we surfed, for the ride home the "check engine " light went off and the "knock sensor" message went away too....

It sounds like a loose connection on one of the knock sensors, take them off and check to see if the y are damaged or are corroded causing the issue. and the only ways to erase the code is either use the scan tool system or to run your boat 80 times through a cold to warm engine cycle.

heres the thing. thee code isnt stored in the dash readout. i only see that message when i surf...

are you getting water in the compartment to where it would contact the sensor ? Your boat is different than mine, but I have taken on a LOT of water a couple times and had my engine go into limp mode.

I believe the code is stored in the engines computer, if it is set. The dash readout will only display what the engine computer tells it to.
You need to go back to your dealer and get this dealt with. Knocking can be very damaging to an engine.

my boat has 19 hours on it. i dont hear a knock in the engine. also, the closest dealer is 2 1/2 hours away.

There may be a minor problem, or there could possibly be something serious.
A knocking engine can cause serious to itself. Broken piston rings, ring lands on the piston, holes in the piston, damaged engine bearings, that sort of thing.
It is your boat, and your choice on what to do with it.
I know it is a hassle to go back to the dealer, but how much more of a hassle would it be to have a new engine put in your boat, even under warranty?
You should go back to the dealer for the 25 hour checkup anyway.

Try ordering a new knock sensor and replace one side (at a time) to see if that might be the problem. I'm sure its cheaper than 5 hours of towing gas...

If you have stored a code, it will need to be cleared. A dealership with a Canbus hookup and Diacom software can clear the code. The big question has already been posed here -- why did it throw the code. Typically a bad connection (bouncing) or bad sensor.
