How hard was it to remove the bow grab rails?

Easy to Remove, pain in the a** to re install!

It comes with one, I just haven't put it on. Waiting for the tint to dry.

I'm going to move mine to the passenger side (i have that huge CIPA 180). It gets in the way when I'm standing at the helm.
I saw a bunch of wake boats today at the show with the mirror mounted on the passenger side - never paid attention to that I guess, but it may be the way to go .
Unless someone starts selling a tower mounted ones, with a long arm?

I originally mocked up using my CIPA 180 on the driver's widow and there was no way to make it work without being a major obstruction or blocking the passage to the bow... I ended up mounting it to the center window and I really like it there. It doesn't block the view of the driver or passenger and has the added bonus of folding out of the way completely...


(If done this way you can break both the center window and the mirror on you trip to Bimini... )

I've seen quite a few on the passenger side at the shows and thought to put mine there. I'm going to to try it out here in the next few weeks and see where it ends up.

Looks great! Still waiting on my Blue 242X. Going to the factory Thursday. Maybe they will let me bring one home

@Williamsone46 is you wakefoil set up with the surf foil or the one for towing, apparently there's a couple variations... (I need to get me a friend with sweet hookups, those units are a bit costly...) We're expecting a review here once you give it a go.

I wish it was spring already!

Would love to hear the why and specs on the impeller mod

Samson has a longer tower mounted arm for a mirror

Are they offering that yet to public?
I saw your pics, I think - very cool!

I would think so. I would call Melody or Scott at Samson, he was wanting to get one out because of all the new forward sweeping towers coming out now. Bummer I was just there this morning picking up my racks that I had them powder coat to match the mirror arm.

It's an altitude modification. I boat at or around 4500 ft.

 

[jEt_jAk]

Nice! What is your tint level?

Edit: Nevermind I just saw 5%

 

[MattFX4]

Nice. Ever thought about blacking out the silver YAMAHA emblem on the sides?

 

[jEt_jAk]

Are you able to see through the glass with the 5% on there?

 

[Williamsone46]

Yeah it'd cool

 

[Williamsone46]

Yeah just not at night

Got the boat out last weekend for a quick surf session. Was able to drop the rope first try.

Nice! You must have headed south... Quail Creek? There ain't no water in the north much over 40 degrees. Quail Creeks water temp isn't even 50...

Did you give that wake foil a shot?

Sand Hollow, water temp was 53 degrees
Didn't try the foil, we started from the boat and got back on so we didn't get wet.
