If you don't have a prop change kit.... you need one. The Prop Shop has a great deal going while supplies last. $70 for the entire kit, and if you mention Wake Garage, they will also throw in a beer coozie. https://propshopinc.com/Wakeboard-Ski-Boat-Prop-Puller-Kit-w-Puller-Prop-Nut-Prop-Wrench-Case-3-4-1-1-8-p828.html Kit Includes Prop Puller Nyloc Prop Nut Prop Wrench Rustproof Carrying Case Hope this helps!

Yes, three completed projects gets you a hat. We will PM instructions. Thanks for posting the final installs! Will be helpful and probably inspire members for sure.

Even though we could only have one winner for the drawing (Kaneboats) in May, the rest of us have a chance to save a little on Glide products in June. Just call them directly, say you are a Wake Garage member and they will give 10% off for the month of June. If you need a dripless shaft seal or strut bearings, etc., give them a call. Hope that helps!

Want effortless, hidden ballast weight to fine tune a wake? Wake Garage and Lead Wake teamed up for a 10% discount on purchases of Lead Wake bags for any configuration less than 10 bags, as well as free shipping. If you want more than 10 bags, you'll get their standard public discount anyway. Go to www.leadwake.com and enter "WG10" into the discount code when checking out. Enjoy. From Lead Wake: These bags can be placed in just about any spot on your boat, including the glove box. The bags contain 100% recycled steel material. Sewn into the inside is a load dispersing high density foam core to protect not only the bag, but your boat as well. The custom designed bags are easy to shift around in your boat to clean up any wake. Tired of asking your boat crew to get up and move to the other side?….just grab a couple bags and move them to adjust that wake. Does your boat have small compartments that won’t allow a “big” water ballast bag? My Lead Wake bags can be stacked and placed in tight spaces. At a density of 9x that of water, just a few bags can replace those space consuming water bags.

Sorry... we had accidentally "locked" this thread after the deadline. Congrats to @Kaneboats. We will do more contests soon. Please let us know, kaneboats, how you like the GMSS kit if you end up installing it anytime in near future. Glide was great to deal with.

CONGRATULATIONS TO..... Kaneboats! You won the 1st Wake Garage drawing! Special thanks to Glide Bearing Systems for hooking us up with a GMSS Kit!!! For those that didn't win, please keep Glide in mind for future upgrades. Best in the industry. @Kaneboats Please also pick a Wake Garage decal color and you get one of those as well. Thanks everyone for participating. We will have more. This was cool.

Entry for the drawing is now closed. Good luck to everyone who participated! Awesome looking boats in here. Drawing will be done by June 2nd, the winner will be emailed and announced here.

@Bubonic -- We just updated to newer software version... could be a bug. Try going back to "edit" at the bottom, and try to upload again. If you have trouble again PM Wake Garage or Rugger and we'll contact the company. Settings look fine. Great project and we want to see the final pics! Thanks

To enter... post a reply below with a picture of your boat and/or at least your boat's year, make and model. Must enter to win. Great system that will upgrade almost any boat.... I wish site admins could enter.
