Ship Faced Posted August 1, 2018 Report Share Posted August 1, 2018 It's driving me nuts! So far I've tried: FAE Adjustments, clocked it further down to where the vertical drop is the same vertical plane as the hull. In the pic below it's installed so the very tip was centered to the best of my ability. Changing made no difference. More tab. Even with the CAV plate all the way down, it's still there. More bow weight. Between people and lead, 600+ lbs in the nose didn't change a thing. Varying speed. Made no difference. I do have the early 15 rounded swim platform, FWIW. This can't be normal. I refuse to run a damn mudflap/wave tamer, or whatever it's called that looks like it should have the chrome trucker chick on it like the Tigè guys came up with. I'm pretty close to breaking out the plasma cutter and tig welder to fix this phallic looking spray creator. No, that's not a dialed surf wave. I had my daughter drive while I hung off the transom for pics, but the spray is always there. Any suggestions besides that? Via Tapatalk from the helm of a '15 F22.

dakota4ce Posted August 1, 2018 Report Share Posted August 1, 2018 Fascinating! I did not have that issue on my 2013 F24. Puzzled! I also had GSA. Something is a bad combo here. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Ship Faced 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dakota4ce Posted August 1, 2018 Report Share Posted August 1, 2018 You could probably make a very very minimal flap that would block that. Not necessarily one that even goes to the water. Just for posterity, have you checked for a small water gremlin clinging to your boat bottom?

Just for posterity, have you checked for a small water gremlin clinging to your boat bottom? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Yeah, I was just under there last night. Other than a little gel burn just starting to haze a quarter spot above my 2279, it's perfect. In truth, I did buy a thick neoprene yoga knee pad that I was trying to devise a way to attach when surfing and remove all other times; ideas welcome. I just hate the thought of having to hang unsightly mud flaps off the ass end of my boat while surfing to fix a modification I purchased to improve the surfing experience. I'm stumped as to how this installation is somehow unique, but it must be. GEN2 Switch & FAE can't be that much of a unicorn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ship Faced Posted August 1, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2018 A little more background and a pic to entertain. Besides my OCD, the real reason this is an issue; when I surf with my son, he likes to stand on the nose of our Land Lock. Getting a spray to the hip is one thing, but now he gets blasted in the face. Pic from last year (pre FAE). Via Tapatalk from the helm of a '15 F22.

oldsmobiledriver Posted August 1, 2018 Report Share Posted August 1, 2018 Mine does the same but it barely sprinkles my feet. I’ll have to look but I think the tip of mine hangs down more towards the center of the prop. I wonder if the flattened area (the taper) is not high enough and the round bulge is dragging in the water.

Bowkill1 Posted August 1, 2018 Report Share Posted August 1, 2018 It does it on mine and only on the goofy side. I fabricated my pipe and have witnessed what is occurring. Water is climbing up the front of the pipe.The solution is pictured below. I am going to make a deflector and weld it onto the pipe.

oldsmobiledriver Posted August 1, 2018 Report Share Posted August 1, 2018 I saw that Nautique comes standard with the deflector and that makes since! That water that doesn’t break around has to go somewhere and that makes sense! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Ship Faced 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalamazoo Posted August 1, 2018 Report Share Posted August 1, 2018 along with your phallic thing being not long/deep enough I'd also check bow rise angle. even w/o the optimal wave run without bow weight and load up the rears. if the spray disappears that may be a good clue. with GSA it never sprayed on my 14 oldsmobiledriver and Ship Faced 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My 2018 B52 looks exactly like yours (spray on goofy side). I am pulling it off the lift this week to do a few things and FAE asked me to take some specific measurements. I would hate to think about pulling this thing off......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldsmobiledriver Posted October 30, 2018 Report Share Posted October 30, 2018 Just needs the Nautique pipe spray deflector. Mentioned before the water is just running up the front side of the pipe and has to go somewhere!

Ship Faced Posted October 30, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2018 Tragically I haven't been near my boat for a while. I'm quite certain the Nautique modification is the remedy, I just haven't had the time to do it. Yet.

onequicktang Posted October 30, 2018 Report Share Posted October 30, 2018 IMO, FAE angle is off. You want the exhaust more towards 90 degrees when underway. They are close to 90 when the boat is sitting flat..... oldsmobiledriver 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mucker626 Posted October 31, 2018 Report Share Posted October 31, 2018 I was reading that the Silent Stinger was hydro locking the motors because of a faulty internal exhaust flapper. yikes oldsmobiledriver 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
