exceptional rock collection you have there :) :)

nice install.  others may want to see the hydraulic ram side of the install.  or did I miss that?  Also how big of a gauge wire and fuse did you run

Any chance that boat was originally sold at No-Wake Marine in Cincinnati?  If so, it would be the 3rd one with the exact same color scheme (that I know of!) 

Here's my twin!

Awesome! can you do a full write up?  I so want to do this in the off season this winter on my boat.  Great work!

@Fffrank. Hello. Wild lol, but no it was bought here in Wichita KS, I am the second owner. Nice boat though!  and @hawaiianstyln  I will be doing a full write up asap, i'll discuss how we came to the angles of the actuators and what I used for the gates (which were off a 2015 AXIS by the way)

I'll work on the full write up, I had a buddy of mine help me but it wasn't as bad as i thought. The arduino system works perfect. I got the gates from an 2015 AXIS and cut them to fit, then re-fiberglassed them.

I didn't have a whole lot of pics from the install of the actuators but I definately post some more pics of just those and what I did to get my angles. I used big relays so didn't really have to run big gauge wires really. I ran the wires to 4 relays and then those went to the Arduino box I made.

Where did you find/get the Malibu surf tabs?  Did they come with the actuators?

I found them from a friend who saw them on a forum, but it don't believe it was this one. That guy said he got them off of a salvaged Axis but were not going to work for his boat. I believe i paid $175 for them
