108 How It Works | 2021 OWNERS MANUAL
Clamping Spinner Board Racks or Ski Rack
These aerospace-grade, anodized-aluminum swivel racks are
corrosion-resistant and ratchet down with a slight tug on the
single lever, securing the wake items. Be sure that boards are
securely in place prior to operating the boat, as they can become
projectiles if they are not. Also, remove boards and stow inside
the boat before trailering. Highway speeds can cause damage
even if the boards are secure on the rack.
The ski rack accommodates two slalom skis with easy-access
bungee forks to free up storage areas onboard. The ski racks
can be mounted on either the port or starboard side of the
tower, or on both.
Mounting Wakeboard on Clamping/Pivoting Racks:
1. Pivot the rack inward by pulling down on the pivot release
knob and moving the rack to the inward position. It will
lock in place.
2. Place the board in either the top or bottom slot and
center the weight of the board in the middle of the rack.
3. After the board is in the proper position in the rack, gently
pull down on the left and right clamping fork handles
simultaneously until the board is secure.
4. Pull down on the pivot release knob again and pivot the
rack to the outward position until it locks in place.
NOTE: The rack can pivot and lock in three positions:
inward, center, and outward.
Removing the Wakeboards on Clamping/Pivoting Racks:
1. Pivot the rack inward by pulling down on the pivot release
knob and moving the rack to the inward position. It will
lock in place.
2. Press the clamping release buttons to release both of the
clamping fork handles.
3. Remove the board from the rack.
4. Pull down the pivot release knob again and pivot the rack
to the outward position until it locks in place.
IMPORTANT: Before pulling into a dock, be sure to swivel
racks inward to prevent damage to racks and the dock!
G5 Tower Mirror
Housed in an aluminum billet with an adjustable arm, the
optional mirror offers high-definition, prescription grade optics
with a 140-degree field of view.
The mirror is adjustable by way of a clamp on the tower. The
mirror should be removed and stowed in a storage compartment
inside the boat if the boat will be towed any substantial distance.
Models: These accessories are available as options on all
Wakesetter models. They may be supplied as part of a package.
On and Under the Water
Blower System
One of the most critical elements of the boat is the blower
system. There are important things to remember when
operating the boat:
Always operate the blower for several minutes prior to starting
the engine, ensuring the engine compartment is fume free.
This should also be done when idling or running at low speed.
This allows the disbursing of fumes that otherwise allowed to
accumulate could result in an explosion.
The blower is controlled from an on-off switch on the video
screen. See the Dashes and Video Screens section of this manual
for more detail on how to operate the system. The blower
should come on automatically when the system is first powered
up from the ON-OFF power button. However, operators should
always verify that the blower is on and operating rather than
relying on the automatic ON.
! WARNING
Secure boards and/or skis on the rack prior to operating the boat. If
they are not secure, the boards and/or skis may come off the rack and
become projectiles that could damage the boat or hurt individuals.
Remove them from the racks and stow in the boat when trailering.
Even if secured on the racks, highway speed can cause damage to the
boards, skis, tower, or boat, or even cause them to become loosened
from the racks. Spinner racks should be locked prior to towing.
