2016 23 LSV - I was also having the same issue this morning.  After a long tow, I launched the boat today but the gas gauge, surf gate and wedge was not working.   I had this issue earlier this season after a service where they did some work under the helm.  I thought I had solved by verifying that all wires were connected properly.  

After searching through a number of threads someone mentioned a loose ground connection solved their issue.  I checked the ground block under the helm and sure enough two screws needed tightening. 

Anyone have issues with significant play in the power lift captains seat?  I own a 2021 22 LSV and it has a ton of play in it and it seems to be under the fiberglass Where the base is mounted. I would do think this would be normal but wanted to hear what others have experienced?

thanks

Boat lift sales.... A tell tale sign.. especially since they are the after boat purchase "oh shoot I also need this purchase".

FYI there are hardly any wake boat bunk kits being sold on new lifts out there... 

Marine segment plays funny games on fiscal year Data like Malibu as example, pumping dealerships has hidden the problems because industry"experts" use mfg data instead of dealership Data. Just look at accessories such as boat lifts needed after purchase to know the real situations

Reminds me of when mfgs were screaming inflation is off the charts but there was "no inflation" and we all said well just wait 9-12 months until those units hit the market..and then consumer shock!

 just like when fertilizer shot up 400-500% and people said it's ok farmers will just absorb the cost and there wasn't going to be any food inflation but yet the goofs didn't realize the crops grown won't be sold in the grocery store for another year..

Here Or mfgs are selling tons of boats but lift sales are half or less than what they were? so I guess the industry transitioned to more trailer boaters overnight!?!??? Nope.

It's comical at this point... Everything you read has a narrative now...

My assumption: There is likely a venture capitalist/private equity group behind tommy’s expansion that should have a 1st position deed of trust on everything except most of the floor plan boats. The VC will acquire all of Tommy’s assets and Malibu will likely work with them 1st to establish a new dealer, or who the VC chooses to sell to. The sweetheart building leases with the old owners will be canceled and replaced with new sub market leases. 
 

As part of the new deal, the new dealer will continue to sell the repo boats for the floor plan lender. From that point forward it is pretty much business as usual. 
 

The only thing I see messing this up is if Tommy’s has another senior lender or is valued at more than the VC/PE’s loans. 

If PE is involved then its all good as you said, if anything then just part of the plan to restructure for lower leases, better deals, etc. Then get a steal on purchasing these from the banks. PE is great at blending losses just as banks are. They can stink it up and come out smelling like roses!

Thats odd and goes against business 101 for wealthy individuals....

All I know is what I read;). It is in that paywall article mentioned above.  The part about their other bank issue.
