    • Not sure how well it would work given its proximity to the water line, but I'd suggest a simple 2-prong connector and see how that goes.  If you want something cleaner and don't mind drilling into your boat, something like this might clean it up a bit...but at a cost of a hole near the waterline.  Definitely go IP68 or higher if you can find it. 

      Where is this sensor cable in relation to the waterline? 

    • Does your Bimini adjust upward when you lower the tower?

      you should be able to use the arm when the Bimini is in the upward position. (See the 1st pic in this thread) the Bimini is stowed but in the up position.

      i have a tower mirror arm “new” in box I’d be willing to part with. I went to mount it and I’m not a fan of where it has to mount when you have 2 pairs of Rev10 on the GX tower.

      i tow, and store the boat with tower down and with 2 pairs of rev10 the captain chair needs to be turned to the side to avoid speakers rubbing on chair, but by turning the chair the stowed position of the mirror with tower down would interfere with the chair or be in a bad position for actual use while under way

      Regina switching to Nautique has nothing to do with Tommy’s.  Just like Will Asher, and others.  Let alone Dennis Kelly.  

      No, it doesn't directly have anything to do with Tommy's, I'd agree.  But is it a result of a bigger issue at hand internally?  Are they moving on because the sponsorship dollars are drying up?

    • Would need a prop change to soften the prop wash IMO but then you’re giving up low speed torque.  The reduction in that boat is much different than boats from 10 years ago. Meeting you need to prop up so that you’re not churning hundreds of gallons of water which makes the hard. I learned the hard way when I bought a Vtx in roughly 2018 when the transmission changed.   

       

      I think moderator @ahopkins22LSV may have experimented with some prop work when he had his Vtx

    • Hey Malibu Friends, I've had 2 VTX's and a 2010 VLX that I sold last fall.  I'm now taking a close look at a 2022 21 LX that seems to meet a lot of my requirements.  I read some posts, but was curious how owners felt now that they've had them a few seasons.  

      I'm one of those guys that still loves to slalom ski, but need a boat for everyone else who wants to surf (myself included).  I thought the VTX ski wake was awesome, and was perfectly happy with the ski wake on my 2010 VLX with the wake hull.  The videos I've seen skiing behind the 21 LX look OK, but the wake seems to have a lot of white water, as in it's not as clean as what I had on my VLX.  Does any have thoughts/opinions/pics/videos of skiing behind one of these?  Again, my standard to go off is a 2010 VLX, and as long as the ski wake is similar to that, I'm happy.  Also, I assume intermediate surfing is good on this thing too.

      Any other positive or negative traits people have had with the 21 LX?  I'm also looking at 22 LSV's, but haven't had much luck.

      Thanks!
