GEN 2 Wake Shaping Devices Installation (Replacing GEN 1) for X2, X10, X25, Technical Techniques X30, and X46 (Page 2) PROCEDURE: These instructions were prepared in anticipation of removing the original GEN 1 surf tab, shown right. Removal of GEN 1 items: Step 1: Using screwdriver or power driver, remove the existing wake shaping devices on both sides.

X-25 illustration Step 8: All models, except X2: Patch the holes through the transom where the actuator had been located. Preparation for installation of GEN 2 wake shaping device plates for all models except X10 & X25: (For X 10 and X25, go to Step 11 for shim locations.) Step 9: All models except X25: The GEN 2 plates align with the transom design, as had the GEN 1 plates. The GEN 2 plate first hole aligns with the first...

Step 12: Align and mark the shims with a grease pencil. Step 13: Using the 3/16” drill bit, drill the holes to attach the shims. Step 14: Using the 3/8” SS screws, attach the shims. Preparation for actuator reinstallment (all models except X2 & X25): No preparation required for the X2. For the X25, go to Step 20.

That hole should be drilled with the 3/8” drill bit. Step 19: Repeat on the other side. For all models except X25, continue with Step 23. Preparation for actuator reinstallation on X-25: Step 20: Using 1” masking tape, place on transom from platform...

Also mark the outline of the acutator foot as you will need this to install shims. Step 22: Using the 3/16” drill bit, drill all holes. Drill the center hole (for wiring) with the 3/8” drill bit. For X-25, continue with Step 23. Installing the Actuator: Step 23: For X-2 only: Assuming the actuator was left attached to the transom, extend the actuator arm to fit without the long bracket just installed on the surf tab plate. Using #12 SS screws, attached the actuator.

Step 27: Connect the actuator harness, matching wires, to the main boat harness drop, from which the GEN 1 was connected. Step 28: Seal the wire hole through the boat with Bostick or another marine- grade sealant.
