Axis Wakeboard Boat Forum

Edit see you have a Malibu but trailer.. I would still check it. The axles can break in different and cause low going weight even if the trailer was bui lt correctly. A scale will tell you where to start..

Something like this:

Too much rear weight is the same as to little tounge weight

What did you do to add the tongue weight? Did you get deeper drop off your hitch? Shouldn't that add more?

UHP replaced my axles and that helped but was still low so we clocked the rear axle down one notch on the spline (at the instruction of Boatmate and UHP the axle maker)

I would not do anything until you get a scale under it..

If you can lift the tongue yourself (without getting a hernia) that's a good sign its not heavy enough..

I didn't have issues with sway or anything towing my T22 at speeds of 75mph average however it was very light on tongue weight and caused my trucks rear end to bounce more until I added some bow weight. I also preferred towing with the fuel tank full as its mid/fwd so it would add some tongue weight. About 300lbs of lead weights in my bow made it much smoother towing. My new moomba tows great as is, they must've balanced things better.

For longer trips where I am going that speed, i add water to the front bags. Then there is not an issue. But I get a lot of swaying at 65 especially if the gas tank is full

Those of you who still wakeboard. Where do you keep your boards when trailering? I have been taking the bindings off every time, which can be a pain on getting the exact placement back where I like them set on the board.

Under the seat behind the driver. I can fit either 4 surfboards or two wakeboards with bindings with one surfboard. Also on the port side I can put a wakeboard under that side seat. The A24 has storage advantages

It is very likely that you need a drop hitch on your SUV. Most attach much higher then trucks because the hitches are normally level with the rear bumper. On our Tahoe we ran a 4" drop, on the explorer it was 2". My F250 (stock) its a 5" drop to keep the trailer balanced. In my experience wighting these trailers it should not look level, but tongue down when hooked up to your vehicle.

As for where we are keeping the board, if its a short trip we leave them on the racks, for long runs we put them on the floor on there sides and never have had a problem.
