If you put a hot air gun on the conduit it should bend to the shape you want

Sounds like the only thing left to add to the boat is a set of 'Doelfins' on the motor's cavitation plate. Flatter ride, better acceleration and better fuel consumption...They made a huge difference on our dingy's 15hp Evinrude, no more 'digging in' on take-off and more of the prop wash directed down instead of up to the surface...

I knew about interceptors and the principle of how they work. They are at least as efficient as trim tabs and are used on work and patrol boats. But I did NOT know about the automatic roll compensation. Very interesting.

Nicely done!

Great video!

Cool video thanks lee

Great job guys installing that bit of kit.

Look forward to the competition

What a brilliant piece of kit

I said before for such a small boat you should keep it as simple as possible. This is just something else to go wrong, bare essentials only for safety and to prevent unnecessary problems. With all these accessories is your charging system going to be able to keep up, 60 horsepower motors don't have big charging systems. However, it is your boat best of luck to you guys.

The fitting of the Zipwake interceptors seems to be controversial in the comments section, but the results spoke for themselves in my opinion. I don't know anything about boats, I hasten to add, but I do know what my eyes tell me and it certainly looked more stable. That will certainly make standing up with a fishing rod more comfortable and since your challenge is to win the prize and this helps you to do it, then it is a good investment. Even if you don't win, it was a very interesting video to watch and I would of thought a very good informative video for those that are considering this for their own vessel. The only piece of advice that seemed to be of sense to me was the battery or the case for a second one. My tuppenceworth on the matter would be to first check the battery usage against charging input and the consequent results would tell you what you need or not need do as the case may be. Good luck with the competition!!

Nice done so I hope the boat will be a lot more stable

Here in australia l,d have included steel mesh in the mix...gives the slab greater strength amd stops cracking

Top Job 🤘

Good luck for the competition. x

Looking good, have to take a look at zipwake , needs trimtabs on my own boat. Looking forward to the next . Have a great one.

Awesome piece of kit. 👍🏻

I liked the pictures as well, it makes it look easy. I absolutely didn't know what a zipwake was!😂 great improvement!

Lovely surprise to see you both today travelling through Kidderminster - I guessed you must be en route to the big contest down south. The boat was looking brilliant. Good luck 😊

Very nice.

isn't t it amazing what you can do with a lot of money Love it

Good Luck!

That’s amazing and hilarious when Gemma is screaming before the install

ace jet boat guys look good.

Just goes to show what a big project Sarinda is. You've got this refurbed and upgraded fast inbetween your business commitments.

Never even heard of such a thing, but that's amazing it's made one heck of a difference.

I expect the fish will be well impressed.🤣

If you move that transducer inboard the propeller may interfere with the readings . I was told they should be fitted as far outboard as possible , just a thought

😀 You've got more gadgets than You've got boat!

there are going to be enough tricks on your boat for it to start its own magic show!

So they're just fancy trim tabs. Cool.

Looks like a fancy set of trim tabs although they seem to operate a little different.

Just saw you here on METS Amsterdam 😊

Hopefully their next iteration will be able to compensate for waves whether natural or from another boat. A great infant idea, looking forward to this company also changing the shape of their shutters into wave forming foils. A great start to be sure, hope it gives our team a cutting edge!

The difference is obvious and necessary for safety.

Tight lines for next week

Piece of kit for Serinda!

Could cut the conduit into 2 pieces. Next time record the boat's stability performance from a standstill to accelerating hard to flat out. Both on flat seas and choppy conditions. Normally drivers adjust the trim and engine angle to get on plane quickly, reduce chime walk, get the bow down as the boat accelerates. Same for wave bounce or jumping.

It looks a lot better. Would 2 swivel chairs be a good idea? 🤔

Getting all the flash gear

Sorry for being late I have just finished work

Looks like it could star in a james bond movie. Q would be so proud❤

bigger versions on Sarinda? or staying original to design? I do like the idea & the effect - well-done crew!

With all the tricks on his boat I think he's probably well compensated, with all that stuff on his boat, nice job, I wonder if he has room for a sardine !

Ok Gemma, instructions had pictures but did they provide crayons for you as well. Love the channel.

Do the zipwakes affect speed? I assume that a more horizontal travel might be faster. Lets hope that all this kit helps with catching the big one! Good Luck!

interesting video 2x 👍

Nice one! Q: is there any (predicted) effect on the fuel efficiency of the boat?

Just wondering if they retract at slow speeds? Will they be retracted while loading the boat on the trailer? Looks like a great DIY kit. Love the channel, Thank you for sharing.

Your little fishing boat has more bells & whistles than most boats three times bigger than yours. Hopefully it will payoff in the long run.. 😎✌️

A stingray on the motor foot will help it plane off a lot quicker too.

Does it have a radar dish yet 😂

Not a stabilizer system but a better smarter trim tab system ah

Just remember that this system puts huge forces on your boat to stabilise it. If your happy with this and the consequences then that’s fine

Hi gemma you where saying about the cable cover as your transome kicks out why not get heat gun and warm the cable cover and bend it to fit your transome

😃

Seems like quite minimal fixings for the force these need to carry.. 6 tiny screws?

Cool gadget But does it replace trim tabs

👍⚓

They came out years ago.. Different country and company

So ...Who do you really work for Gemma!

Can i ask? If you win the competition? Are you keeping your new fandangled fishing boat? or will you sell it on to raise funds for Sarinda...??? 🙂

Simon I honestly don't mean to be rude or insensitive but did you ever go through your day skipper? You clearly know what you're doing and I was just wondering if you feel like you're held back or holding yourself back due to your personal issues. Anyways cracking video as always guys

How far is your anti ventilation plate below the bottom of the boat

Get some water skiing don on the back of it!

Nothing like keeping things simple eh Guys?😁

You will now both be able to have a pee at speed ... Nice stable pee turn taking while traveling. 😊

How well would they work in a following sea. Especially when the boat starts to surf on the wave and then get overtaken by said wave?

how many you need to put on the big boat

Thing is it’s a fishing boat not a speed boat.

The force on those trim tabs from the water will not last long go with auto tabs or conventional style .

Shouldn't this be on the Ship Happens Adventures channel?

By the time you get all your gadgets on the boat, are you going to be able to stop the boat and actually fish? 🙃

You have 3 tons of gear on a 1 ton boat ! Ive been around boats all my life and have NEVER seen so much technology on a small vessel like yours EVER ! Your going to need another battery just for the outboard ! I hope you use that rig more then once or twice a year ! lol. What no DRIFT SOCK ! Dont forget your boat markers so you can mark the side of the boat thats catching fish ! LMAO

What happened to the fishing boat and the competition?

I have Zipwakes for 7 years now on my Raider 18 Cuddy (Honda BF150). They are fantastic. it changes to a completely other boat. The way they balance the boat on a high speed turn is awesome. I have the Key sense connected so the Zipwakes start automaticly when i start the engine. I have them connected to a Raymarine AR200 GPS via NMEA2000 so they have instant GPS fix when we start the engine to move to other fishing spot. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pc2SnpCZtc-bf40.html

Love you guys but I don’t understand why this content is on Ship Happens. Shouldn’t it be on your new channel?

What began as the fascinating tale of an amateur couple struggling with the massive task of restoring a historically significant boat with help of passionate volunteers and supporters is fast descending into a corporate sell-out channel full of thinly disguised adverts. Shame, but such is the way of the world I suppose.

What is your send to address as I can't seem to find it.

Didn't think you Limeys had it in you, not an engineer, physics brainiac, math genius, but don't think this is any way beneficial, all this is going to do is slow your boat down, use more gas, it's like putting out drag shutes to slow you down, better off w/regular trim tabs, if they can modify this system to work w/regular style trim tabs would be better idea ? instead of coming straight down like brakes, these might be o.k. when anchored to stop swaying, but running ? would like comeback !

IT is not correcting anything....the water hits the bow first....by the time it hits the transom....the boat has done what it will do....I call bull shit....
