If you all have water coming up over the top into cup holders slow down with stopping the boat or you will take a roller over bow next and sink your boat. Now I dont question why I had to have a dumb tsb done for the air filter cover. Back off throttle slowly and turn, the wave will bump you around then pick up your rider

Get someone in the back lockers with a tube of 5200.

Inject it in the hull to deck joint to see if it helps.

It’s on the driver if you are getting water over the back and in the cup holders and over sun pad.
When your surfer falls, slow down immediately but then give a little bump of throttle just before the wash hits the platform. Use the push of the wash and a blip of the throttle at the same time to push you out in front of the wash. Use the momentum to steer away briefly and then back to starboard to pivot the boat in place and miss the rollers turning around. Try it and get the timing down with the wash push and you will never swamp your sun pad or take water in the cup holders.

Ok so the bilge can only get so much water out of boat leaves about a 1/4 inch .. when you make a major turn or stop all the water rushes to the back and it lifts the float for a sec but there is enough water to trigger float but not enough to be pumped out ... that is the reason very common .. we relocated bilge pump a little higher to help ... but once you understand the principle and reason if should ease you mind
