When I got my boat I was having issues with my gauge and talked to MC and the supplier. They told me to not top off fuel when it is above 1/2 tank and always power off the boat with the master switch in the electrical panel. When you refuel make sure it is still powered off and fill it full before you power on the switch and start the boat. Haven't had any issues with this procedure

@Niles Taylor

That is a good deal!

This podcast has made me better. Just 2 things I finally understood after listening over and over. Straight arms and don’t pull past the centerline. Thank you for this podcast.

@Lars - you bet we are. We are in Balsam Lake, WI area so a bit far from Spooner/Cumberland

Did the casted end piece break? I know we had some issues with that on my sons Ronix handle. It had porosity in those pieces. Radar/Ronix gave us a new handle

@Deanoski - I took a look a that when it was launched but not sure how it releases from the ski - I assumed it did not release

Don’t be intimidated about getting a floating course from insta-slalom. It is only about 15-20 minutes to put in and take out. We use a pontoon. Faster if you have 3 people to to help.

Where are you at in MN? I think I have a contingency "kit" (auto pump and hoses) from my old 209 from back in the day in my boathouse. Let me know

@LoopSki This is true - not many active skiers or topics. The benefit of the site is that there are some very knowledgeable people on late model MasterCrafts. Lots of history and solutions for those running older boats. The new format is kind of a mess though so I hardly visit anymore.

Temps this morning at the lake in NE Wisconsin. Dam. Was 39 yesterday morning and skied the course. Might pass on it today.

 

 

Out the front is free :)

"Pontoon boat, what the hell you going to do with a pontoon boat? Retake Omaha beach?"

 

LOL - good luck with the sale Scott. Great boat

 

@DoubleD - Thanks for the response!

 

 

Glad you guys are back. Thank you for all this great content. It has really helped me.

Have you tried any release exercises with a lacrosse ball in that area and around? Sometimes this pain is actually tension in my own personal experience. Not a doctor or PT guy but do a lot of mobility and release exercises (reference Becoming a Supple Leopard - Kelly Starret) to stay tuned for high performance activities.

Holy crap - $340 each is dam crazy. I will get my complaining neighbors to pitch in ;)

@Mastercrafter

 

Can you share a source for that gasket please? What is the price on the MasterCraft tips?

@DoubleD I like what you did there. My '16 ProStar does not have turn down tips. So all you did was remove the rubber flapper and screw on this modified tips? To you band saw cut the parts?

@Lars Congrats. Another ProStar to Minnesota!! Bring on spring.

 

I really enjoyed our 95. I think the wakes were softer on 92-94 but it was still a great boat with the LT1. Learned to ski the course and barefoot with it.

 

I don't have my dimensions handy but I did haul my engine cover (6.2 liter) in my Denali XL not problem. I would have had plenty of room for the observer seat too.

 

Definitely get the shock tube

Buy the Pro and save money with a used one or carry over

@m_pags LOL. I love your old ski. Never changed a thing and skiing better than ever!

How do you know @m_pags :)
