Suck Gate

[NICKYPOO]

Hey guys just jump in on this. Since I was on my buddy’s axis I thought I would try something diff with my suckgate and make it like a surfgate. The auctions cups never budged. It did not spray. I made it a hair higher than the swim deck. Only angled out maybe 30 deg. Was very pleased with result. I ran all factory tanks full. Mla bag full 1250lbs plus the starboard side 700 lbs roughly. The wave was not as steep but way longer at a slower speed of 11 vs I normally surf 11.4-11.6. And the wave was way wider. Go outside the boat farther. Hope this helps. It’s not pretty but it’s just for trial right now. Also the photos are from almost sitting in the observer seat.

Nice. I’ve been thinking of doing something like this. I think I will now. Looks like some fairly nice results. Thanks for the “honest angle” on the wake pic. I appreciate that.

Used a suck gate on my rzx today because of actuator problems and was actually really impressed. Different wave shape but yet really good in its own way.
