How do i rid of the white wash on my surf wake ?

[Rich74 20]

I have a 2012 F21. We do not have the cavitation/wake plate. Is there a way to rid of the white wash without it? See photos.. Currently run reg ride side 900lb stock with 1100lb sac in the locker. other side half full at 450lbs. 2 people in the bow, driver and 2 other passengers on ride side.

 

All info is appreciated. Trying to avoid spending 12-1300$ on a cav plate.

 

Cheers

There is a thread on here about ordering individual pieces from a lenco dealer and it only cost about 350 for the plate, I am doing this over the winter as well...

What speed are you riding at? Looks fast to me. I have 2012 F21 - 1100 ride side, 900 stock ride side, 400 sac in the front center walkway. I usually just put people on the ride side. I ride at 10.8 and I have the plate. I sometimes use it to knock down any extra splash. I think you could get a great wave as well, just keep playing with it. Maybe someone will chime in that doesn't have the plate.

I am going to try weight in the bow walkway, i think this will help. Our speed was 11.5.. Thanks

I have a 2012 B-52 23V without the plate and it makes a large rooster tail when I don't have a lot of weight in the bow. I put a 400# sack under the left side and bow cushions and fill it as much as I can without pushing the cushions up. I would guess it is prob 300#s when filled that way. I also put people in the bow, and the added nose weight helps to keep the rooster tail from spraying so much.

Try dumping the weight in the non-surf side. Our 2010 F21 likes lots of list to clean up the rooster tail. We don't have the plate. We run surf side full, non-surf side empty, 700-1200lbs lead/sac in the surf side rear locker, and all passengers on surf side. We move passengers forward or aft depending on speed and or board (short/long) to adjust the length of the pocket.

DTown - Where do you guys camp at? We also picked up a Discovery XL 2 seasons ago. So much fun on Lake Powell.

Way up north past Blue Notch at the "horn", almost to Hite. Never see another houseboat or wakeboat up there... only fishermen in bass boats. I dig the "isolation". Your pics look like you guys run out of Wahweap or AP?

Running the non surf side empty cleaned up the rooster. Thanks guys!!
