Surf gate pics help posting

[badluck]

The angle is adjustable and still needs to be.

[braindamage]

did you self-fab the tube with the slot or is that something you purchased?

[teamerickson]

This is really impressive badluck. I'm in the process of trying to design one and will steal some of your ideas. How does it attach to the swim deck? Backing plate? Screwed into swim bracket?

[bbbabe1]

My bad, fell asleep after I posted. Looks good though!

[badluck]

Thanks.Can't wait to try it. I did fab the tube.

This is a very similar design to what I have planned for my boat. Love the slotted tube for a slide.

Great job

Better look at what Malibu has locked up with IP before going in that direction. Oh and a small issue concerning the patent.

[Lance B. Johnson]

Nice work! This is actually one of the better designs I've seen. I really like how the slotted tube works.

[badluck]

I have a couple of ideas for making it go under the platform without raising it.I'll try to sketch it up.

[Andrew63]

I must be missing something with the slide locking spring thing, maybe just can't see the woods for the trees.

Understand the spring locking pin & how these are to work.

Correct me if I am wrong.

Tube fixed to the gate with the slot, slot in the top surface & holes (can't see them) drilled through the bottom at the desired locking position.

Spring locking pin passes through the tie rod ball end to allow for weird angles & is fixed to a rod which slides inside the slotted tube.

This provides a fixing point for the locking spring (threaded to the rod which slides inside the slotted tube) which cannot fall out while under way.

Or, maybe something else I can't imagine.

Either way, like the idea of no holes in the transom for experiments

[badluck]

I will be running it this weekend. I'll post or have pics posted next week.

[Utisnumber1]

Well lets hear the results... How was your surf gate? Lets see some pics!!!

I did not get much testing in, however the wake was not what I hoped for.It was lacking push and height.I will try and shorten the gate to see if that helps. Listing seems hard to beat. Mechanically they were great. I'll keep messing with them.

[badluck]

Tested them today. They are a hit. The wave was longer and cleaner with more push. The boat was listed alittle. I have a few pics but need help posting.

[badluck]

Anyone?
