Wally Sinker

[WBLskier]

I am curious about whether a Wally Sinker system could work for us. We ski on a 2500 acre public lake. Lots of fishermen and people dropping anchors. Seems like a nightmare waiting to happen, but curious about others who have had experience in that kind of setting. We could basically pick the depth as we have several places to put the course with the idea being we'd have one in place permanently (the wally sinker) and just set up a separate portable course to take advantage of wind direction. also curious about using wally sinker with a portable course as opposed to permanent (right now we just have several portable courses in our possession). If it could work, what would be the ideal depth to avoid issues with it getting snagged? How about weeds? Lots of questions I know. Thanks.

We've had our Wally Sinker since '07. Public lake, lots of traffic on weekends. We've had anchors dragged thru the course, wakeboard/surf boats hit our fill buoy, etc, but all in all it's a really good system. Any water that gets into lines is easily purged. No problems other than routine maintenance. The most damage we ever had was self-induced. The air line separated from the SS mainline cable (supposed to be ziptied) and we caught it with the prop. Took about an hour to fix.

Our course sits fully on bottom (we don't dangle the sand bags). Depth runs from 12-17 ft.

We purchased full course from Wally so no experience with portable. Spoke with him many times on phone. Gives FULL product support.

We use 3-4 times/week spring-fall. Winter varies. Perfect for us on public lake. When we aren't skiing the course 'isn't' there.
