They can be loosened if the wraps have not been cut off.
Unscrew the front two screws of the heel hardware and loosen the back two. Pull some of the wrap back to the binding side and drill screws through wrap in the new position.
If wraps have been cut you will need new ones.
@maralake74, Senate is an awesome 34 mph ski. I have been skiing on a Vapor and had a chance to ski one last week. I have been skiing mid -38s this year and ran 2 @ 39 off the dock on the Senate. I'm considering making it my tourney ski this year.
Hard to go wrong with the Senate assuming it is the right size for you.
Great for free skiing and no slouch in the course. Good luck and welcome back to the addiction!
I ski behind a '17 that is mostly black. Looks great and not a problem keeping clean. It does show scratches more than expected on the hull. The black seems very thin with white underneath. Haven't notices any problems on the deck.
I like to scan as much of the course/lake as possible. Helps keep the eyes/head level. As soon as I know I have made a bouy I try and pick up the next one.
Why not do it just like amateur golf? Practice scores create a handicap then we all compete on the against each other. Sandbaggers get weeded out at the tournaments.
Still keep the big tourneys the same.
Just a thought...
