  1. If the trailer is designed for the boat, go with the sticker pressure. To much air could abuse the boat with too stiff of a ride. Same deal with the tire pressure sticker inside the door of your car or truck, unless you are carrying more weight than normal on trailer or boat.
  2. I think all need an extra couple zeros.
  3. I agree on that being the best skiing production I have ever seen, even going way back to the network produced "Hot Summer Nights" shows. This is certainly on the right track to make it back to TV.
  4. I am certain it is the handle. My daughters rope never twists. If I put my handle on her rope it also twists like crazy. Everything else is the same.
  5. Do you have the masterline handle with the protectors to keep the Goode skis from cutting it? Mine with that handle acts like a prop and takes around 50 spins when I go down.
  6. ...and birth date for all is published on the awsa web site as well:)
  7. Most security cameras that I have either use a 110 to 12 volt power supply or use POE +. The weather stations run on batteries.
  8. For weather, I have an Acurite weather station and one of their "Access" gateways that enable connection to Weather underground. Here is a LINK to the weather underground connection. They also have an app that can be accessed from a smart phone which allows you to hit your station directly. Here are a couple screen shots from mine. I also have a sensor on the dock that gives me water temp on my phone app. Overall I would give the weather station a B-, as it seems to lose connection to the base station a lot and the water temp sensor a C-, as they lose connection more often and only seem to last three or four months before they start giving crazy reading and have to be replaced. Here are a couple screen shots of the app. For cameras, I highly recommend THIS camera. Although it is a little pricey, it has an amazing mechanical (not digital) zoom and if there is any moon at all, it is almost like daylight even in the middle of the night. (perfect solution for those suffering from course vandalism.) There are also no "cloud" providers to deal with, you simply open a port on your router and access it directly. There are several phone apps that make it easy to access, my preference is "IPCam Viewer". The free version works fine. Here are three photos. The first is zoomed all the way wide, the second is zoomed in, notice the turn island lower left that is approx. 1/4 mile away. The third is a nighttime shot, actually at moonset, with the moon higher the image would have been much better.
  9. @MarkSAU what is this "tower" you speak of? :) Nice building! I could also use some organization ideas as well!
  10. Red metalflake/ silver metalflakee / black
  11. As a few noted above my yes was in addition to, not instead of. I also don't believe AWSA derives any benefits from USAWS (and whatever), on the contrary I believe costs are significantly higher due to the increased risk.
  12. @Jody_Seal I agree with what you said above and also I don't feel beat up at the end of a set like I did with all other ZO versions.
  13. @WaterSkier12 All Nautiques at 2018 Midwest Regionals and Nationals were running Version S. That is the version that will be run until any other version may come out in the future. I think MB and MC were as well, but someone else will have to verify that.

    2013 SN Issues

    Agree with Andre, check the fuel pressure at the fuel rail both when you are experiencing the problem and when it is running fine. I would bet you a slalom set that the pressure is down when you are experiencing the problem. You should be getting around 60PSI. If you don't have a pressure gauge you should be able to borrow one for free from autozone. If you want to record a diacom file while it is running bad and send the file to me I would be happy to look at it for you.
  15. @Horton I've used used that Walmart super light cover mentioned above when going down the gravel roads to some of the remote tournament sites I go to. They should do what you want as long as you don't have much wind. I don't like to use my good cover for those as the dust seems to get into the weave of the covers. For your dock, the ultimate easy solution is a Touchless Cover I love mine and there is never a though about leaving the boat uncovered.
  16. 28 slots filled, 12 left in Jerseyville, IL (St. Louis area). If you want to come, get one before we are full!
  17. I fully agree, see my comments from early last summer from the first time I tried S on the + setting. It was the first time I had skied since ZO came out that I didn't feel beat up by the time I got back to the dock.
  18. @SkiJay Here is a good one, any testing with a combination of the new rope and plus setting on ZO version S? (Heck in my head I'm already a full pass better with all the new stuff this year? :)
  19. @swc5150 Wow, only 26 hours, I did the 25 hour oil change on my (first) 2019 the second week I had it! Of course it pulled my Swervin Weekend and a jump clinic the first week I had it.
  20. @Jboss The Nautique color is called "Solar Red", looked like orange to me:) Nautique marketing picked all the colors on the new boat for the promo team last year. I woudln't have picked it myself, but I do have to say that it looked good. As far as the no spotter rule, I was serious, any state that requires a spotter to ski is off limits when my wife and I take a week to go out of town to ski. MO has always been skier friendly requiring only a wide view mirror, so that is where we usually went. Now areas like Wisconsin Dells are much more attractive to couples who want to take a skiing vacation, toursism should benefit from this rule.
  21. Great news! Wisconsin is now on the list for posible vacation destinations.
  22. Towerbiminis.com does great work and they offer lots of multicolored options.
  23. @RichardDoane I can't really comment on details that I know nothing about, but for each Swervin' weekend a promo team member has to secure a suitable site that is willing to dedicate the weekend to the event. The weekends are a lot of work for the host, but after hosting for the last two years I can say they are very rewarding. It is a lot of fun watching skiers at all levels learn, but it is really special when the kids get up on skis for their first time. I encourage everyone who has kids, or friends (or friends with kids:) that may be interested in skiing to give them the link and / or help them sign up. Call it the next level of an Ambassador program! We may sometimes take our top equipment and pristine lakes for granted. It is really nice to share them for a weekend!
