  1. Not a ramp but we had a large swim dock that we had issues keeping the geese off of. Tried owls and coyote silhouette but as soon as the figured out they were fake they no longer worked. Google goose away light. Basically an orange strobe light like you see on a construction barrel. Been working for years. Can buy cheaper versions off Amazon. I think dock mooring lights. Solar powered with a photo eye.

  3. When considering a PB do you think in terms of rope length or bouy count? My tournament pb is 3.5@38 36mph. I recently slowed to 34 mph and ran 5@38. So which is my PB?
  4. This past weekend I skied my black "trick" binding one set got in the boat switched to my new radar boot. Checked my release and adjusted it then skied. Nothing else and ran the same passes.

    Zero off

    Check battery cables for corrosion
  7. Had a couple of new faces join the 43 club but Nate still makes 41 look dare I say easy at times. That 41 in finals.... man
  8. Had the GOAT sign my nautique after running an easy 39 and then going in to the dock. Figured that was the best score that boat would ever see.
  9. Does anyone know details of the whole story? I knew he was just starting to ride his jumpers again based off IG posts but I never knew why he had been off them. Sad to see. I was hoping for him to make a big comeback. Such a nice guy. Wish him the best.
  10. Almost sounds like a vapor lock issue. Does it do it cold?
  11. @Martin ran into a similar problem on an 04 196 not long ago. It had a ballast tank in the trunk and the gauge wires came loose and would ground. Boats are a little unique in the fact that ground isn't readily available like on a car. Pretty rare to find a short in a boat harness. Roll the gauge cluster out you may find loose wires on your volt meter.
  12. First thoughts when was the last time the fuel filter was changed and was the fuel line inside the housing checked for any cracks?
  13. @lefty the width will essentially be the same from length to length until -35. I think the thing people struggle with is that the visual on where you pull out has to change. As the line shortens you get closer to the boat and thus need to adjust the visual of where you pull out. Note I say the visual as I don't think geographically it changes much if any. So in your scenario you go from -15 to -22 that is 7 feet. So you need to wait 7 feet after you normally would pull out. This way the boat is actually in the same position it would be in if the rope was still at -15 and you were 7 feet behind yourself. Same geographical location but your visual will change. Sorry its easy to conceptualize but hard to explain. So for me an as example. I use the 55's to know when to pull out. They get closer and closer to the boat as I shorten and once at 35 the right hand ball disappears behind the bow. But from shore it looks extremely similar.
  14. @arturonelson it is fairly easy upgrade. Take an old puck off and drill the hole bigger i usually go around an inch hole if I remember correctly. Plug the new puck in and update software. You will need the ZO ecom cable to do the software. I just ordered a single puck and the software. Expected ship date for the puck is 8/23.....
