Axis Wakeboard Boat Forum

UPDATE:

Yesterday I put the boat in the water for the first time this year. The dealer replaced my box under warranty and used a Malibu version with the zerk fittings instead of the junk axis "Maintenance Free" box. It was AMAZING. Slow speed steering actually took a minute to get used to. It was so effortless, I kept over steering. At speed, it was wonderful. Steering was possible with my pinky finger. End of last season it was a 2-handed effort. Anyone who drove complained their shoulders were getting sore!

Raimie...what dealer did you use? I'm having a hell of a time getting my dealer to help me out to find parts

Thanks!

They have always been really helpful. Hopefully they can answer your question. I plan to be out on the boat on Sunday. I can try to get a picture or part number to help if necessary.

Raimie - please post pics and part numbers of your upgrade. I have a 2014 T22 like yours and I'm becoming displeased with the effort required to steer.

2014's have the grease zerk on the rutter atleast mine does, hard to get too but it's there

Nope. Read the manual. It is a maintenance free water lubricated system. If you have one with a zerk, you lucked out and its the Malibu version. From Page 4-4 of 2014 Axis Manual: Rudder Stuffing Box The rudder stuffing box is a greaseless design and requires no regular maintenance.

I will get pics when I can. The weather this weekend isn't looking great, so I am not sure if I will get out on to the cottage or not. I'll get them as soon as I can though.
