2013 540 DA Swim platform

That's interesting, I can see the edge of the platform catching and kicking up spray, but 18" in, I would be looking at something on the transom in that area, maybe a trim tab or bracket holding the platform? Looks like you might need to take a ride on the swim platform.

No thanks on the platform ride!!!!! I have no clue why it sprays 18" from edge. These boats seem similar and I have spent hours on both the 55 and the 58. It is near impossible to diagnose.

Looks like it happens on the L590 as well!!!

I'm 90% certain that water is catching on the idle exhaust on Zeus boats, and depending on the platform alignment, it's catching and then spraying it up.
Severity depends on speed and platform alignment

Mine just happens to be a lot worse where people sitting in the cockpit or rear pad is getting the spray

I just saw your picture, and I can say with fact that mine boat does NOT catch water like that, with or without my tender (amanzi350/40hp 750lbs) on. Even with 15 on board and full fuel, and water when I run it runs high out of the water. My boat was covered when I got back up to the marina that Sat, and I have it wrapped all the way to the bottom paint side line, so no gel coat hull is exposed for the summer and it's wrapped under the platform so I couldn't get you pictures of mine.

Jason- We have the same 2010 and there is no way my 50amp cord fits in the space when the platform is up and locked. I can get two 12/3 110v winter extension cords in the slot (each going out the opposite sides from the smart box plug and they hang down under the wrap so I can plug in for the winter, but not even two of those won't fit together in the space going out the same side.

Weird how the same boats can be so different.
