Dimiz4 Posted July 24, 2016 Report Share Posted July 24, 2016 Went wake boarding for the first time on the 15 f21. Stock ballast full, cav plate all the way down. The lip of the wake was quite white washed. What are all of you running. It was a really choppy day so that could have been the reason as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldsmobiledriver Posted July 24, 2016 Report Share Posted July 24, 2016 Put your cav plate all the way up!!! It ruins the wave cheese224 and Jake (((O))) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldsmobiledriver Posted July 24, 2016 Report Share Posted July 24, 2016 If the boat is needing help have some people sit in the front or get a bow sack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Donfather Posted July 24, 2016 Report Share Posted July 24, 2016 Cav plate up. Try half ballast. Half full was way better on our 23 then full. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake (((O))) Posted July 24, 2016 Report Share Posted July 24, 2016 What speed? Full ballast likes 22-23, which is where riders that need full ballast like to run anyway. I can get pics in a few days. I don't have a cav plate. If I did I would put it all the way up and drop it just enough to clean up the wake, which would vary based on load and conditions.

CFM56-7 Posted July 25, 2016 Report Share Posted July 25, 2016 When I first got my 2016 F21 I had to use full down cavitation plate to get up to speed, then raise it once on plane. The stock prop would take a while to get to speed with full ballast, but it worked. I propped down for surfing and now don't even touch the cavitation plate while wakeboarding, other than to ensure it is fully raised. Bottom line, cavitation plate full up while wakeboarding will give you an awesome wake around 22-23 as previously stated. CFM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dimiz4 Posted July 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2016 Thanks guys. Was running at about 21 but will try cav plate up and see what we think at 22 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
