McKenzie stock . . . are junk. Mine have already had to be overhauled.
I am no longer running the "stock"(as in came from factory) kickup system. My new system is bad butt.
We're getting to the point. EXCELLENT Writeup Wout. That was a great help to us all.
Points:
1. There is a big difference between performance on the AHPC Systems and McKenzies Clone system.
2. McKenzies were originally supplied on the Blade, but are being replaced by an improved system.
3. Robi had the McKenzies, but has replaced them with an improved system.
4. Wouter's home waters has more sandbars and less weeds than Florida.
QUESTIONS:
1. Is this modification the AHPC system or something else? IF it is, Please share. (Waiting for the Pictures.)
2. Is Robi's new "bad butt" system the same thing that is now supplied on the production Blades?
3. Do the new Blade 701 rudders still trip over sandbars and weeds?
4. Will this thread ever end without Wouter and Robi killing each other over minor points of language and misunderstandings?
