Never stand or sit on the Auto-Set Wedge plate or place objects
on it. Never use the Auto-Set Wedge to mount the transom.
The Auto-Set Wedge cannot sustain added weight on it, and
subsequent damage to the Auto-Set Wedge or transom of the
boat as a result will not be covered under warranty. Do not boat in shallow water, load the
boat on the trailer or tow with the Wedge in the lowered position as it can cause damage
to the Wedge that is not covered under warranty.
Models:
(Optional) The Auto-Set Wedge is an option available on all models.
Surf Gate, in conjunction with the Auto-Set Wedge, offers the most innovative wake-production in
the industry. Control of the two transom-mounted gates is through a toggle switch as explained in the
I
nstrument Panel and Gauges
section of this Owner’s
Manual.
The gates are controlled by selecting the desired
surf side of the boat (port/left or starboard/right).
When a gate is deployed, the actual desired surf wake
will be created on the opposite side of the boat. For
example, when the left wake is desired, select the left
arrow; the right/starboard gate will be the gate that will
deploy. The gate will deploy only between the speeds
of seven (7) mph and thirteen (13) mph. While the boat
is underway, the surf wake can be transferred from one
side to the other in less than three (3) seconds. While
the transfer is occurring, there is an indicator horn on
the transom that signals to boarders/surfers when the
surf wake is about to transfer from one side to the other.
There is also an indicator light, offered with the optional
tower light package, that will also indicate the surf wake
is transferring.
Because the gates can function independently of
each other, it is important for people on board to pay
attention to how the boat is leaning.
Unlike earlier
methods for creating a surf wake, with Surf Gates the surf wake will be at optimal performance when the
boat is weighted evenly. If too much ballast, gate and passengers are loaded to one side or the other, it
could create an unstable situation in which the boat could become swamped. Always use common sense
and good judgment in adjusting weight on and in the boat.
Pay attention to how the weight is distributed on and in the boat
at all times, particularly when engaged in water sports. Too
much ballast, gate and passengers to one side of the boat could
create an unstable condition that could result in an unsafe
situation for all. Even in making waves, care must be taken to
put safe operation first.
Never place objects on a Surf Gate or try to use a Gate to support a person’s weight. The Surf Gates are
not manufactured or mounted to accept additional weight.
Never add any weight to a Surf Gate, nor use one to hold a
person’s weight. The Surf Gate cannot sustain added weight on
it, and subsequent damage to the Surf Gate or transom of the
boat as a result will not be covered under warranty.
The Surf Gates should always be retracted when not in use.
