I also go through the zipper with the surf rope. over the top tend to rub on the trailing edge

LOL, MB barely offers parts for their newer models let alone the old stuff. good luck

I had a similar issue last year with my 17 B-52. Engine wouldnt start. couldnt even hear a clicking sound. I too though it was the nuetral safety switch in the throttle was bad as the batteries were all good. Turned out to be a bad starter FWIW..

Could be a leaking shaft seal. When loaded up with ballast the shaft seal could be leaking. WHen the bilge fills with enough water the motor goes into a kind of limp mode. I typically run my bilge pump constantly while surfing to keep the bilge clear.

I did this project several years ago. here is a thread with a few tips and tricks and lots of pictures. good luck! 😎 Carpet Replacement with SeaDeck - Maintenance & Technical Discussion - MB Boat Owners

I have run the wake logic controller for several years now. Great product full of features. Last year I built a custom switch panel for it. The blue switch is a simple on//off that switches the controller between auto and manual and the red and green switches are momentary on/off switches to control the gates. 😎

+1 for the 2247. Love this prop. I have tried many different props on my 17 B-23 and this prop is money! although it has a 14.25" pitch the .150 cup really gives this prop great bite. I typically boat at 5500' and run about 4500# of ballast and this thing get the boat up quick and runs about 3800RPM at surf speed. I also have been enjoying an average of around 4 GPH over the last year or so of running with this prop 😎

Looks like its at the Portland Dealership now and they seem pretty proud of it 😎 https://portland.craigslist.org/clc/bod/d/west-linn-2014-mb-sports-b52-23/7381681805.html

LOL, Yes I fixed it last year however the cables snapped again this year. Terrible design and crappy cables. I have 2 sets of the 4 cables on order (decided to get a spare set) with the local dealership however its been close to 6 weeks since ordering and still nothing. I call the dealership (Action Watersports in Denver) at least once a week and get the same runaround story that MB has ordered cables from the manufacturer but has not received them

2017 B-52 / 23' 440 Raptor 5200' Elevation (Denver) Typically running around 4900# of ballast Last year I ran a 3093 (15X12.5 x .165) and was somewhat disappointed in the performance. Surf speed RPM was around 4300. This year I swapped in a 2247 (15X14.25X.150) Loving this prop so far. Dropped to about 3800RPM and gained quite a bit of top end speed (36mph from around 30). Boat comes out of the hole great and due to the lower RPM's runs quieter as well. So far I am getting around 5.5 GPH as well. Very happy with this prop! highly recommend. 😎

The 2775 you are replacing is a 15"X12.5" The prop you ordered (2277) is a 15"x15.75" - This is not comparable to your old prop as it has quite a bit more pitch which will give you more top end but less pulling power or torque out of the hole especially at higher elevations or heavy ballast loads. The 2773 they sent you is 15"x13" with a .105 cup. this prop is very comparable to your 2775.

love me some night surfing. Washington State prohibits from 1 hour after sunset to 1 hour before sunrise.

Mxvet~ were the mounts hanging straight down or the sideways ones?

I have a 2017 so I guess that would be the older of the newer towers 🤔 honestly I dont understand why so many people tow with it down. In my mind, the full strength of the tower should be when it is up and locked in. I feel like you are much more likely to damage the tower something on the tower if it is down and sitting there cantilevered over on its side and bouncing every time you go over a bridge or rough road. Now, maybe the new new towers have some way of locking it in the down position (Mine doesnt) and that would minimize movement but your still putting a lot of force on the single pivot bolt. Towing with it up and locked (2 points of connection in this case) is what it was designed for. I also always tow with my speakers attached, because of how they are attached hanging vertically (but also because i have 6 of them and I am lazy and don't want to pull them on and off all the time and wear out the quick connects). I cover them (and the racks, and the mirror) with speaker socks when I tow to keep the bogs off. I feel pretty comfortable that I am not going to harm the mounts (or the speakers) for that matter because again, the mounts are at their strongest (hanging vertically rather than sideways). The sideways mount has always bothered me. it looks like there would be a lot of loading on them with the speaker hanging out the side adding a cantilevered weight to mount. I would definitley remove them for towing. just my .02😎

So one of the two cables in the starbord side of my tower has snapped (Pulled out of the rope socket at the base) Has anyone replaced one? whats the trick? I assume that if I remove the inside panel I can get access to whatever mechanism is in there. Anyone have pics or advice? TIA

SOLD

This prop is in great condition and used very little. This prop came stock on my 2012 F-23. This prop is a great for cruising, wakeboarding, water skiing at lower elevations. I would not recommend for higher elevations or heavy ballast loads. $475 Plus shipping from Denver CO Thanks for looking
