wakeshapers

[a0128]

Finally got my mission delta in last Friday and tried it over the weekend. It does make a difference in the wake, but didn't fit my 07 SANTE 200 real well. It rooster tails a lot. Needs to be set lower in the water , but can't because of the hull shape. If you can make one I would try it. Just my two cents.

Try reversing the position of the front panel and mounting the Delta so the front panel is closest to the stern and as low as possible (even lower than the picture). I have a 1999 Pro Air and mine rooster tailed until I reversed the front panel and got it as low as possible on the hull. Also I found (at least with my hull anyway) that even weighting vs.leaning to one side also helped minimize the rooster tail. I am using factory ballast (400 lbs) and usually have 3 to 4 people in the boat and run around 10.5 mph.



Still need more river time to fine tune but it gives me a wake that is more than adequate..

ok, thanks . I will try that. Really need more time testing it i guess.

You guys be careful with these "gates" you're making. Had a friend on Kerr Lake make one for his Centurion last week. They took it out this weekend, dialed it in, and had been surfing for while. All of a sudden it came loose and the tether caused it to swing around and hit someone in the face that was sitting at the back of the boat. Broken nose and severe laceration to the face. Was a freak accident but wanted to caution everyone on the possibility of what could happen. Be safe and have fun.

It would be nice to get more details on the accident so, we can learn from it. Was it on a direct drive? how long was the tether? what suction cups did they use etc. I can see it popping off and flipping up and possibly hitting the rear deck but, flipping all the way into a v-drive passenger area seems like an impossibility.

Don't tether it to the boat but a buoy. If it lets go it goes in the water.

V-Drive 2005 Centurion. Don't know length of tether or where it was tied to. To my knowledge he used the same style suction cups that others have been using when making these things...don't know exact name brand. It obviously isn't "an impossibility" cause it in fact did happen. I wasn't on the boat when it happened because I was there on my own boat. Just trying to pass on a caution. None of us that day ever thought of it happening as probably most on here but it did so I wanted to give everyone a heads-up.

Now that is more like it!! I may need to invest in this guy. He is more reasonable and serves our Country...

Ha, dang. I had the same idea for an adjustable gate. I have all the materials and pins purchased but haven't have a chance to make it due to work.

Ordered my "quick shift" gate pictured above today. Cant wait to try it out.

Has anyone tried one of these gates on a 230 yet? I loaned mine to a friend with a 230 this morning and he couldn't get it low enough in the water to do anything other than make a bunch of splash.

I haven't been successful with one on my 230.

Great Thread. I got one off of Ebay and works amazing, cheapest I have seen them.
Doesn't adjust but I don't this you really need it to. I'm sure Mission did a ton of testing to find the right angle.
He still has some selling. http://www.ebay.com/itm/262519676690

I still prefer my suck gate with nr 2041 dimensions. Took me about 2 hours to make and 60 bucks in materials.
