Did you ever figure out what that connection/vent on the upper starboard side of the transom is? Update: You probably know this, but it's a fuel vent.

Did you ever figure this out?

Hi I have a 2017 tomcat f22, during the export process several components was stolen, can anybody tell me were the Bilge pump is Located in a similar boat, found some cut wires in the hard tank valve compartment. Any picos apreciated

Happy late thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving!

El reemplazo de la sentina consiste en cambiar o reparar la bomba que elimina el agua acumulada en el barco; es un proceso rápido si sigues las instrucciones básicas, casi tan práctico como usar una calculadora fácil para resolver un cálculo.

Sorry it took so long to respond. Just saw your post. Usually pull kids 16 -20mph. Around 25, with no ballast, the wake cleans up nicely. But that’s just too fast for wakeboarding. Throughout this summer I’ve identified that center trim plate doesn’t always return to ‘fully retracted’. Sometimes it stays about 3/4” deployed and I have to run it down a little then back up to get it all the way up. That has definitely helped, but the major contributor is the FAE and I’m still looking for a solution to that. Considering having a buddy get creative with a new shaped plate. I’ll report back if that dream ever becomes a reality.

I wouldn't add a wake shaper since you already have surf tabs, unless someone else has had success on the F24. You might call the boat shack and see what they suggest. I think they have sold a few F24's. I would recommend using plug-and-play bags as my next step, then optimizing the steel shot by moving it around. Play with your speed as well.

Thanks- I added 550 steel shot and it got bigger. I think I need to double that and spread it out. Might be easier to add a plug and play bags on top of my hard tanks. Also thinking about a wave shaper. What’s everyone like for those?

Have you tried running a wave maker on the side of the boat?

Is the wave clean or mushy? If it's a bit mushy I would try adding a wake shaper to that boat. Are you using center cav plate when making the wave? 24 is a big boat and will want weight to help sink it down. Generally weight near the back (transom) will generate push and a taller wave. Weight towards the front will help lengthen the wave. I would start with adding more weight near the transom and on the side you're trying to get the wave on.

I ordered the same strainer this week. I've always been concerned with the stock strainer and the cheap plastic fittings on it. One of them breaks and there's no way to shut it off. I was wondering if the thru hull was threaded, but looks like it is! I guess I need to head to the hardware store.

I replaced the stock strainer with an Indmar Strainer Pro with the built-in flush kit and the install took about 10 minutes. I noticed there isn’t a seacock on the intake hose and I’m wondering what’s the better option to add, an in-line or one with a flange style Brass Intake Strainer? The goal is to be able to shut it off when running on a hose for maintenance or winterizing.

I have a 2021 B52 23 and run 500 lbs of steel shot in bags. We surf at 11.2, everything full, no center tab. The F24 is a lot bigger boat, I would load it up with lead/steel. I would start with 150lb or 200 in both back corners(as far back as you can get it, 150 each side mid ship, and 200-300 in the nose. Just my 2 cents. You can move it around to see how it impacts the wave

i have a 2014 f24 with gsa, i run 1100 in the back locker, hard tanks full and i run 300lb of lead in the front and another 300lb bag, boat needs bow weight, , i still list it a bit, but i agree the face of the wave is not glass, i think it from the front pickle fork, causes more froth, wave is long and steep. we run around 11.4-11.6mph

Side note it’s a 2021

My f24 is sexy. Love it. But I’m a big guy and with both sides and bow tank full I still don’t get enough push to keep me going. I fall back out of it. Where should I place lead sacks to get more push.

Is the bag taking longer to drain than the hard tank? Sometimes there can be a flap of bag that is inside of it that can get stuck in the drain port. You would need to remove the bag from the connection on top of the hard tank and look and see if anything is blocking.

Hey dudes, Have a strange issue with my left locker. 2016 B52. When trying to drain the locker, I open the gates and straight going. The right light drains as it should, but the left one gets stuck with the locker bag at about 50%. If I oprn/close the gate nothing changes. I have to stop, kill the battery for a couple mins, back on and repeat and she drains? I know that the rear gate only opens about 75% (been meaning to address that) but I can't see how that would stop it from full draining. Any ideas?

ACME. I got it from Wakemakers. $75

Thanks for the reply. What brand is yours?

Hello! I’m also in need of a dealer code, where can I find this? The batteries died the other day and now none of the surf system is working. When reviewing the manual, it shows the dealer options are to enable and disable the surf system— assuming that’s the issue. Thanks for the help!

I use a harmonic prop puller tool and it works pretty well.

Hi, I have a 2018 mb f22 with indmar raptor 400. 210 hours. My catalytic converter substrate (honeycomb) is completely gone (for I don’t know how long) at least the past 20 hours, probably longer. I can cruise and wakeboard all day and often surf without an issue. however, on our last trip while surfing or pulling someone on a tube and trying to whip them I’d get a code SPN 4238 FMI 0, which I discovered is “Closed loop gasoline bank 2 high”. the code clears if I reset batteries, and will return if I run it under a weighted load at high RPM (again). I’m uncertain if the bad (absent) catalytics are causing the code to flash or if it’s something else. I replaced the O2 sensor on the stbd side but haven’t tested it yet. Thing is, it’s very intermittent anyways. Anyone experience something similar. I read an indmar bulletin stating bad cats will not affect fuel consumption or performance so I’m inclined to leave them alone.
