Axis Wakeboard Boat Forum

My boat takes on a lot of water into the blower vents in the rear while surfing. Usually the bilge kicks in and pumps it out. I didn't realize it til the end of the day, but it stopped working and the boat had quite a bit of water under the floor. Any idea's what would make the breaker keep tripping? Anyone else have trouble with water swamping into the blower vents? I pull back the throttle then make a slow turn to go back for the rider. I've tried turning both directions but still no fix.

Check your prop shaft seal below the v-drive, your more likely to take on water there than the vents, unless your surfing in 4' swells, the bilge may have a piece of trash or a leaf or something hanging it up, take it off and inspect it before you run off and buy one

I agree with Walter, I suspect water coming in elsewhere. We've surf with a 750 in the rear locker and 12 adults in my friends Axis consistently and no water issues.

It's for sure coming in through the vents. The hose going into the blower motor ripped apart from the weight of the water.

Water coming in from the rear blower vents fixed. I even tried to force water in with my fat sack pump. I stuck some black women's tights on the inside of the metal mesh screen. It repels the water and still allows plenty of ventilation.
