      Hi, somehow I lost the gas cap for my 1999 Malibu Sportster. I know the topic was covered years ago but does anyone have a suggestion for a replacement. Or at least what I can do temporarily.TIA

       

       

      If it looks like this, the thread seems to be 1.85" x 11 TPI.

    • For 2018 21VLX the PN is 5411052.1.   
      Just picked up my replacement from Tommy’s. 

    • Csleaver, thank you so much for the in depth reply. 

      Batteries are new and all connections are tight. 


      I just checked and Auto Wedge was on. I wonder if the shop even noticed this when they tested the wedge? They just told me the actuators we installed with the wedge in the down position and they could not get it to raise using the MUX switches. 

      I am not beginning to wonder if I should put it in the water and run the wedge down and then try calibrating. My only concern is if the wedge will not raise back up. How do you swap the power connections to "fool" the wedge? I may have to do this if it will not calibrate and raise.

      The footing is good, but man that xylophone player has it dialed in!

      What an amazing amount of glass too, that's beautiful.

      As funny as it may sound, your wife's ski looks to be pretty flat crossing the wake in the video you posted. If she was more on edge she wouldn't notice the roller as much (and wouldnt be as affected by the wake on your vtx). I'm even surprised to see how large the roller is behind the response in that vid. Overall technique when crossing the wave can help.

      hips back on onside pull means flat ski means launch.  Yep.  Hips up, soft knees, and it'll be less noticable.

      But as @jjackkrash said, she needs a DD.  With as much rope as she has out, I'd suggest a Stargazer and ZBox boat would be fine if a dedicated ZO boat isn't in the cards.  I'm a 22 and 28 off course skier and don't notice a difference between ZBox and ZO while I'm out chasing buoys.  The boat @Slayer mentioned would be an excellent choice, as would any boat called "Response" after 1998.  Nautique bubble back is also great but most of them have Ford 351s... yuck...
