![]() Have you posted all the details with bags you ordered with boat? KING could steer you in the correct direction on what to fill and settings to use. The FI does not like bow weight like mine does but that is probably something you already know. I know on my SV244 with the InfinityWave surf tabs I recently installed, having everything full and then draining off Ramfill on non-surf side to 80% defines the surf wave lip slightly compared to level tho even level its great.lip only gets dirty when I drain off surf side which I did by mistake the 2nd time out with those tabs and it confused me for a few mins till I figured out I had drained off the wrong Ramfill side (course my hull is different than yours, just a comment). I have not been on FI enough to know actual settings so I may not be very helpful here, but I can say for sure that the FI23 and FI21 I have ridden behind (90% sure on both of those they were weighted evenly, maybe slight bias to surf side) but both had sizable and excellent wave shape and the lip was clean with a nicely shapped "barrel" at the end giving you push far back. I have seen wave lip "dirty" like that when boat is listed slightly to wrong side (not surf side), or not enough weight.but you said non surf side was at 60% full. I assume you tried the CATS at center setting too? My understanding is that on the new boats, its not really needed. Looks like a decent wave, just looks like the lip is not as clean as it could be. Will post some videos when we get a chance to test it out. It's 1080P so resolution will be pretty good. We can actually record our sessions on a thumb drive so that might be cool. It can record and do a host of other things which may be fun to try. This camera also has a built in front view cam which can 'see' through' the windshield but we won't be using that feature. Having the display upside down actually improved the wire routing which I still need to clean up a bit. ![]() The camera is designed to be mounted above a license plate on the underside of the cover that normally is above them. Note that the display is actually upside down. We will have to see if this is angled right when on the water but think it looks pretty good. Back of barn and CNC machine are shown in the image. This was just a test fit to verify the position. I will add some VHB between the mounts and dash to hold it in place. That is were my brackets attach to the back with the VHB. I trimmed those off and removed the pads that rest against the mirror surface. This camera is designed with some straps that normally wrap around a rear view mirror. Used some 3M VHB to attach the mounts to the back of the display. A bit of skill and luck this time around. This step usually requires some iteration of CAD tweaks and CNCing of more parts until the fit is right. Happy these were a perfect fit right off the bat. Then continued to fit the CNC'd mounts to the dash. Wire was run along the right side under the seats. Scratched my head a bit, took some patterns, did some CAD work and machined some parts shown below next to the display for the camera.įigured out where to place the camera on the back of the boat. I spent some time figuring out how and where to mount the display above the OEM dash in good view of the driver without blocking the view in front of the boat. We purchased a rear view camera and display on Amazon a few days before picking up the boat from NWBS in Oregon City. That is the upgrade that this first post is about. ![]() I am not a fan of mirrors clamped on the windshield anyway and wanted to try a rear view camera instead. ![]() ![]() That proved to be a challenge as we tried adjust the surf settings without really being able to see the wave change. One result of that quickness to rally kept me from having the opportunity to mount the rear view mirror which came with the boat. I consider myself lucky to score a session on a new toy the day after I get it. We brought home our 2019 Fi25 last week and had our first session the day after. ![]()
