Hello!

So on all my previous boats this speed was about 5-6mph with no wake, while on the SX240 with no weeds the first detent is about 2-3 mph, and then the next detent about 3.9-4mph. All the time through the numerous channels and slow areas people get irritated, it backs up traffic, and others attempt to pass me (which is funny cause it is unlawful to do so, and i have seen people get tickets as a result,)

Anyways, is there a way to bump the closed throttle speed up 1 mph? Anyone else have this issue?

Thanks!!
 
When I changed to solas impellers my wake speed increased.

Also I think there are 3 speeds when using the no wake button.
 
I love the no wake button but it throws a 1 ft wake which the sheriff hates ...... :/ On days where there is some chop through the channels I do that tho, cause my wake is indistinguishable from the surrounding waves.
 
You could push the throttle forward another indent so it opens the reverse cowl fully, you'll get another 1 mph, this will however take the TDE away for what its worth.
