  1. We have a 2008 23lsv. I have just ordered factory tower cages for some speakers as the original owner didn’t have tower speakers. Will I need another amp to push 2- 8” towers? Or can I use the two stock RF amps? Second question, is there a way to upgrade the JBL black box to get Bluetooth without ruining the MUX stereo control?
  2. Hello! New to the site! I recently bought a 2008 247 LSV with the Hammerhead engine. We have put about 35 hours on it this summer and it has been great, just rolled over 500 hours! Going to do an oil change tomorrow. I can't seem to find anywhere on the site, suggestions about the best way to drain the oil (how to catch it all without it making a mess in the hull). I have Valvoline 50W Conventional to put in and a mercury filter, both to match what the dealer used before I bought it. Any other tips, tricks or need to knows? Oil PSI seems good with that oil at around 40psi at idle and at most around 58-60psi during a hard pull. Seems to maintain pressure and run well! Lastly, I notice what sounds like a belt chirp at idle but only some trips out. As soon as I throttle up around 1500 RPM it disappears. Any suggestions on how to fix this or what it may actually be? Thank you!
  3. I'd like to change my transmission / v-drive before I start the season. I'm comfortable changing the oil, but having an issue determining what exactly I need to do. I'm confused as to when I look at the v-drive, I see two dip sticks. But do they each take different types of ATF? Here's a photo... And yeah, it's dirty, I know. Any tips on how I could clean this area up?
  4. Hey everyone, I am a year old Wakesetter owner - dug into the forum last fall for winterizing advice and was impressed with the quality of information all around!! This spring rolls around and I’ve got some issues with my 2008 Wakesetter XTI, Indmar Monsoon 5.7L 340. Hoping to get some ideas! The issue first became evident when I smelled a burning rubber smell after cruising WOT for about 5 minutes. Upon investigation I found a hole in the rubber exhaust tubing - which appeared to be dry rot or aging of some sort. I replaced the hose, and next time out all seems to be going fine until I have issues making full power and get the burning rubber smell again. I had burned another hole in the new tubing, and now was only able to get 3500rpm and about 33-34MPH. The hole is in the underside of the port side softwall exhaust tubing - a couple inches aft of where it connects to the exhaust manifold, so I have to assume its hot exhaust gas hitting the hose directly with little cooling. It is worth noting that there was water spurting out of the hole both times it happened, but not a significant amount. Photos of Hose Here - Google photos album link After about 10 hours searching the forums I decided to do a few simple things first... 1) replaced impeller and checked transmission cooler and all lines for debris- which I did find a fair amount of seaweed and 1 rubber fin from the old impeller. 2) replace the fuel filter- the screw off in tank filter (I think that’s the only one I have) 3) replace the exhaust hose again After these repairs, I fired up and checked a few of the hoses to make sure I was getting water flowing through the system - and as far as I could tell, it was running fine. However, as I was idling the engine got up to about 150 degrees, but immediately dropped back to 120 once I put it in gear and increased RPM slightly. Hoping the issue is resolved at this point. All is normal as I slowly continue to add power, until I get to WOT at 4900rpm...and I’m only going 33MPH with the engine is running at 160 degrees. After slowing to idle I feel the exhaust tubing and it feels extremely hot again - like it’s about to melt a third time. I back off the power and limp back home dejected and frustrated. I'm going to do a more in depth check of the cooling system tomorrow, to verify I’m getting water in all areas but that still doesn’t address the top end speed. Oil is fresh and proper level, transmission fluid has not been changed but is leveled properly. Any thoughts or directions I can investigate?? Thanks in advance!
