I was thinking of an adjustable wake plate that can be controlled from inside the boat while the boat is moving, in the attached drawing the actuators could be electric or hydraulic, if the were hydraulic I could use an electrical driven hydrauli pump that is used for an outdrive and just get smaller hydraulic cylinders???

I would only add one if you ski. I find that the wake plate on my boat always makes the wake smaller when down. But that's just my experience. It does help in choppy water but I always feel like I use more gas when cruising with it down as opposed to when it's up? Does that make any sense at all?

I used lenco electronic trim tab actuators to make my wake plate adjustable. Turns out all I ever really do is put it in the full-up position and leave it there.
