Broke my Wake Wedge today

[John Mcpartland]

Both straps on my wake wedge broke off today while surfing......
On a side note we did get ropeless today for the first time...
And a big thanks to Jerry @jcyamaharider, I ordered the 24ft bag from him on Monday and he got it to me last night (Wednesday) before we left today for a 10 day vacation so we could use it today. Ups/fedex were almost $200 for shipping but he took it to usps for less than 1/4 of the shipping price.

Omg when guys hang out you go all out ! Is there an address to send new latches ?

 

[jcyamaharider]

New latches on the way! I dont know what is up this year. For the past 4 years these things have been great. This year they seem to have changed the compound or are having production issues. I have contacted the supplier to figure this out. I cant keep having customers break brand new latches.

No worries..... Thanks

I just got the same set up and I’m trying to find the best settings and speed to go ropeless.

242x
Center ballast 100%
Port ballast 100%
Port fat sac on swim deck

Just a driver in the boat. I’m 195lbs being towed.

I’m wondering what speed to be pulled at for the best wake. I’ve also been playing with the wedge angle as well.

Didn’t have a lot of time yesterday and it was the first time out but couldn’t quite get ropeless.

Any suggestions would be great.

Thanks

10.7 mph

I'm still dialing it in. About 75% center, 50-75% port and about 25-50% starboard. The wake wedge ended up a lot higher than i thought. The speed differs on the river, slower up stream 9.7 to 10.5ish and in the mid to high 11's going down stream

I have a 242x and bought the fatsac transom bag and wake wedge from @jcyamaharider . I fill all ballast at 100%, set the speed at 10.5. This gives me a perfect wave. I’m pretty sure anyone out there could go ropeless on the wave I’m getting. Great setup, have to say thanks to gantlin products for the wake wedge and custom bag they make a huge difference.
