Convex VX and FAE

[cameroon66]

We're pretty interested in upgrading our 2012 Z2 to the Convex VX but we really like our Fresh Air Exhaust. Is there a solution to make these two systems play nicely together yet?

I was thinking it might be possible to just cut a port through the bottom portion of the convex VX structure and have the FAE flow through - but I'm not sure if that's possible.

Any info would be appreciated!

Really don't need an fae with convex vx. Underway the exhaust it pushed into the wave.

The VX has the exhaust coming out under it not on top of it so no need for FAE, the VX pushes the prop wash and exhaust into the wave, making it beefier and cleaner.

I find it hard to believe that the vx would do as well as the fae, since the fae mechanically puts the exhaust port under water at all times. What keeps the gasses from staying at the very top of the exiting water in the vx configuration? I could be wrong tho.

Sounds like the co tester should be broken out to verify.

I would completely agree with breaking out a CO tester to validate. But the mechanics are basically the same if you think about it. The FAE is a gas that is put into the water, it doesn't dissolve in the water, it bubbles to the surface, correct? So then the same would be said about he VX, it is just forcing the gas into the water but the are still escapes as bubbles to the surface.

I think the real question would be where is the concentration of CO? It may be possible that the VX releases the CO sooner where the surfer is where as the FAE releases later past the surfer? And at this point of water dispersion is it even quantitative enough to be concerned? Again a question for the CO tester.

Ragboy, we know you been busy with the VX adjustments and testing with Tige this week and believe me we are appreciative! Was there any chance of testing the CO with a VX at this time?
