just mess around with it and see where you are comfortable. I just kept adjusting the lengths until i was ridding right in front of the white wash (about 75 or so). The wake is biggest there, but if you don't have the right edging technique it will be hard to clear the wake from short distances. Lengths are different for almost every boat, speed, weight vareation. Set it up where you are comfortable clearing the wake with a regular progressive cut and the farther back the better.

| First move it in until you can clear the wake. Then as you improve slowly let it get longer. Then I would mess around with it to find the best spot on your wake. |

speed has tons to do with it, the faster you go the narrower the wake

The Skireel WakePro allows you to reel a rider in or out while the boat is towing. Being able to adjust the rope length while you ride eliminates the guessing involved in rope length. You always get to ride in th best part of the wake. Check out our website and tell me what you think.
