Hello. I just recently purchased a 2011 A22. So far I love it, but I do have some questions.

So I was using the wedge the other day and when I put it up I noticed one of the locking pins was completely gone! Is this common? Where do I get more pins?

The boat has a black Axis cover. When I take the cover off, I notice it turns the white on the interior brown. After it gets direct sunlight for awhile the brown fades away. Is this common? I did check for mildew in the cover and did not see any, it actually looks pretty clean actually.

My boat does not have depth finder, but when I start it there is a section on the gauge that says, "Depth," am I able to just add to the system with a sensor, like a plug and play deal and read it on the stock gauges? If so, where would I go to get this?

I need some more wakeboard racks, recommendations?

Where is the best place to get stainless steel cup holders? The dealer?

Thank you for the input.

Also, I noticed some the Axis boats have pading in the front on the bow. Can I only get that from the dealer?

Don't know about the depth finder. Deck trac non skid pieces are factory / dealer only. Do you want swivel it stationary rack?

With the cover I think some folks with this issue use foam swim noodles strategic placed to keep the cover from contacting the vinyl.

Swivel racks would be nice. But don't really care that much.

If you are missing the pins, you can get replacements.

https://www.bakesonline.com/detail.aspx?ID=2649

Down at the bottom in the "also recommends" section you can get the other parts as well.

There are 2 slide pins. 2 thumb pins and 1 spring. The spring goes in the middle with a slide pin on either side, then the thumb pins screw into the slide pins to hold them in place and let the wedge down.

The depth finder is a thru hull model. If you look where your paddle wheel is, on the opposite side (starboard) is there a similar hole that is plugged up?

Is that pin not under warranty? I forget the period for that stuff. Easy reinstall nonetheless. Just be careful as Malibu and axis use different pins.

And yes it's a somewhat common problem. (Wedge pins falling out). I'd recommend to continually check the thinner pins (the ones you squeeze together) to make sure they are tightly threaded on (righty tighty)
