Does the 2024 bleed speed in the pre turn well? I enjoyed the previous model quite a bit because it really shut down nice & settled deeper approaching the buoy.

@Horton, did you find any magical settings deviating away from Connelly’s recommendations? Thanks

My 2013 is a walk thru open bow & yes, much more room then the older 2004 lx.

I think hands down for 15 - 22 off regardless of speed Malibu’s are the best option. Really soft & flat. I encounter the same situation you mentioned with a female skiing the same range. We have a 2013 txi, she loves it. We had a 2004 lx, she loved it. The bubble back 196’s are awesome also, she skis one of those too & likes it. She doesn’t complain too much about the new Mastercrafts but cannot stand the 200’s. Carbon pro wakes tho smaller feel stiff to me and used to wreak havoc on my shins & ankles early season when I used to ski -22 a lot. They are all excellent @ -28 & beyond.

Well, the cable probably does need a change, but not quite yet. The dealer I bought it from NEVER locked the cable down properly. On either side. So basically, it was not tight & in the wrong position for proper tension. Thus letting the cable sorta do what it wanted. Then there was just enough looseness in the tiller connection to let it twist a bit before the cable got direct pressure to it. Then it just got full lube & I weighted the passenger side with 100lbs. Seems to be about the magic # for us since we never have a passenger. I think the cable is worn much more than it should be after being driven like that for however long before I got it. I did go in the steering wheel but it looked like I needed a puller to go further. I think there is a small amount of play in there, but the wheel/rudder are not floating anymore through the course so I’m good for now. Driving like it should

I just wanted to use my current phone/camera that has cell service to use both the wakeye & hudl app. I got sick of the extra step of using the computer over the years. Let alone editing videos for length. To get decent video for me, that meant experimenting with all sorts of stuff to find a worthy combo I could watch

@buoyboy1, I found the woohot on Amazon. @blakeyates, to upload to hudl in your phone, tap the record button. then when the camera comes up, there is an icon that says import & it should take you to your video library.

To conclude, I was able to remove the slop in the steering linkage and cable. I’m shocked, I almost don’t even have to counter steer now. It’s tracking almost as good as a nautique. Very Happy & quite impressed

That pad is super squishy & sticky. I was able to fit it using the same bolt. They make it in 1/8 also, i was unsure that would be thick enough after all the shake I previously experienced. They also have different durometers. I used 50 I think. A bit sturdier

Thanks guys, there is some slop sorta all over the steering system. I eliminated it near the rudder & also tightened the cable a bit & made sure all the nuts were locked down. I’d say this reduced the issue by at least 1/2. Now this afternoon I need to get Into to the rack to check that because it feels like the rest is potentially in there. Problem now is kinda stupid, I can’t figure out how to take the cap off the wheel to get at it and don’t wanna pry at it blindly. No, the 2013 should not have tracking issues, should be a dream to drive... Also, this thing is a baby, only 315 hours & Only 115 were straight water skiing.

Ok thanks, good to hear. I’ll go over the steering cable & connections
