  1. @VONMAN now we're talking about different skiers have different amounts of glide, one of my ski partners pulls out when he hits the greens, virtually no glide and a one handed gate, I turn left when the bow is almost at the gates, maybe 2 seconds of glide, I've never liked longer glide I would always drift narrow. Others can hold that width and go left really early. I don't change anything in a headwind and try to go just a tad early and narrow for a tailwind.

  2. Years ago I figured out that a bigger handle was a little friendlier on my hands and elbows, masterline has offered up to 1.182 diameter for years, then I alternate between a straight handle and a curved one. It's also possible that eliminating slack hits has been the most helpful part of a lack of elbow issues the last few years. I've found a morning pt shoulder routine that has my shoulders mostly decent these days. My back and left hip tho, still working on those,

  3. I suspect the fuel management system wouldn't work for our boat? We're not on a private pond, courses aren't right off our dock. Especially in fl lots of travel to get to the ski sites. It actually hasn't been that bad to recalibrate the gauge once in a while even if it's annoying. Run the tank down pretty low then usually take around 20 gallons to fill with switch off, the last 5 gallons I pour slowly out of smaller cans till fuel is visible in the lower part of the fill tube.

  4. Kinda why I said put it on the bench, got very lucky first time I did Mina,  and not so much second time, it's really hard on the knees and back when mounted to the engine also but that freaking key......

  5. It's been many years but on one trip my ski went free on the way down to fl and charged 200 on the way back, same airline, just happen to be the wrong counter worker, my cfo (wife) got our money back later. Read and print the policy ahead of time became our rule. 

  6. If $$$$ is a big concern maybe see if anyone local will rebuild, I've gone this way several times with marine starters, alternators and even my hoist motor, ask Google or call a couple local auto shops and ask around, just a thought.
