2002 wakesetter issues


Recommended Posts

Bought a 2002 23LSV wakesetter friday night and was on the water all weekend. Found a few issues with the boat.

The most upsetting is the unpholstry. The vinyl is in OK condition, a little fading and few spots, but the stitching is falling apart. There were a couple of little hole where the stitching came apart that I knew needed to be fixed but I didn't realize all the stitching was rotten. Hopefully the upholsterer can restitch without braking my wallet.

One real ballast tank fill pump doesn't work, I don't know if it the pump or wiring. The middle locker ballast tank has a hole in it so I need a new sac there. Where can I buy one?

The stereo system needs some work, four speakers don't come on and I think another speaker is blown. So off to the stereo shop it goes.

I quess you live and learn. Next time I will know a little more.

Thanks

I recently bought an '05 that had several bad ballast pump. They were the cartrige type that just snap in and connect the wires and that's it(and they are cheap $40+). Hopefully yours are the same. Good luck on the upholstery.

Where do I buy the sac for the middle. Can I just buy the inside liner or do I have to buy the outside protective bag also?

Thanks

Got a new and bigger sac and a pump from Wakemakers, very helpful.

Now for the interior, the upholstery guy said it couldn't really be restitched because it was a double stitch. And the vinyl doesn't look that great. So I decided to replace all the vinyl except the dash. His quote was $5600, this is the 23 LSV. Does this quote seem inline?

Thanks
