Re: Problems CS23 Surf

i've been trying to figure out the ballast pump issues on my own so we can keep the boat in the water. The two pumps for the rear tanks are mounted vertically in the engine compartment. Mine are mounted upside down from what the manufacturer of the pumps (Jabsco) recommends because now if there is ...

Re: Problems CS23 Surf

I also have the 2018 CS23 surf. I really like the boat and I have about 130 hours on it. We just bought it a year ago, it was a dealer demo at River City Boats outside of Portland. I've also had a lot of quirky things go wrong. left it with River City boats over the winter to fix everything, and ...

Re: Adding rudder position indicator.

I had the dealer install the rudder indicator this winter, but when I turn left, the bar on the screen goes to right and vice versa. The dealer claims that is because I have the forward facing drive. Does anyone else have the rudder indicator on a surf boat? I have a 2018 CS23. I feel like there has ...

Re: Ballast Tanks on Surf Models

Thanks for all the replies. It is actually the Pacific Blue and not the Cobalt Blue (I know the picture is kind of dark) We usually keep our boat on the lift until the end of September, so I'm going to use it as is until we take it out, then I'll take it down to the dealer and they'll repair ...

Re: Ballast Tanks on Surf Models

The boat rides so nice! We are on salt water here and live near the Tacoma Narrows Bridge which is the replacement for Galloping Gertie for those of who have heard of that bridge that failed quickly back in the 50's. We live on a Bay, so our water is usually pretty calm in front of our house, but we ...

Re: Ballast Tanks on Surf Models

Thanks for the welcome. I tried to post a picture, but it wouldn't let me. yes, I'm getting power at the bow. I'm just wondering if they were ever tested, I imagine the dealer was always using the boat during daylight hours. iI hate to pay for new ones, I feel like the dealer should supply those ...

Ballast Tanks on Surf Models

I just purchased a 2018 CS3 (now CS23) Surf. It was a demo model at a dealership about 170 miles from me, so it only had 32 hours on it and I feel like I got a great deal on it. Love the boat, rides so much nicer in the rough water than our previous boat which was a FourWinns 210 Horizon. We live on ...
