I have a 2005 23 lsv with a manual wedge. I really like the wave that the boat puts out when wedge is down but yesterday the wedge broke off where the bolts connect to the arms. The foil was completely gone and one arm was bent. I took the foil assembly off and we kept surfing the rest of the day without the wedge. The wave was still pretty good considering we had some fat sacs in the rear locker, but definitely not the size it was before. I looked everywhere I knew to look for a new manual wedge but couldn’t find one. Does anybody have any info on how to get a wedge, or if an auto floating wedge will work on the same bracket as the manual wedge? Or if I should just put more weight in the boat and do without the wedge? Like I said I wasn’t completely unhappy with how the wave looked without the wedge and I definitely could add a few more ballast bags.

The auto floating wedge won't work with the same bracket. You can buy a floating wedge from bakes for $800 but when I priced the bracket it was $1800 :shocked: I have a bolt that keeps breaking on my manual wedge that I have replaced 4 times this summer so far. Thankfully I check it everyday when pulling out and have never lost the entire wedge yet. I think this winter I may spring for the floating wedge and try and have a bracket custom made. Has to cost less than $1800.
