How to Decide Which Perfect Pass System is Best for You

Q. I primarily use my boat for Wakeboarding, but we do some open water skiing and Wakesurfing. Which system is right for me? A. The new Star Gazer-Wake Edition does it all. The Wakeboard Mode will allow you to set an operating speed as low as 9 mph right up through 30 mph. If Slalom is your passion, the new Slalom Mode is rpm based so it is smooth but is corrected via the GPS for accuracy. Q. I have an inboard/outboard boat (Stern Drive) which we use primarily for wakeboarding. Which system is best? A. Once again, the Star Gazer-Wake Edition is the choice. The best control for wakeboarding is from a speed based process and the GPS based Star Gazer is accurate to 1/10th mph at all speeds and never requires calibration. Even when you use the power trim the system will correct within a fraction of a second. Q. We have an inboard ski boat and course skiing is all we do. We do not have magnets on our course, which system should we consider? A. The Star Gazer-Three Event comes with the Magnet Sensor so if you have magnets in your course you will have fully automatic timing. (Only two magnets are required)If you do not wish to install the magnets and timing is not important, the Star Gazer-Wake Edition has a very effective Slalom Mode. Q. I have a stern drive boat with a 5.7L Mercruiser we use primarily for wakeboarding, can I get the basic RPM Cruise. A. This system is not recommended for wakeboarding as it is only designed to hold an RPM value. As the boat comes on to “plane” or you use the trim, the boat speed will change even though the RPM’s are being held steady.The RPM Cruise is designed primarily for open water slalom and recreational wakeboarding on inboard ski boats. Q. Cruise is so much less expensive, why would I go with any of the more expensive options? A. Cruise is an RPM based system only. It does not register your speed in any way. Therefore the system does not take speed into account when it is engaged. It will only hold the engine rpm steady. During turns, in chop, with wind or even with rider pull the amount of throttle needed to hold the speed constant can and will change. Cruise will not account for these changes. Q. I have an older PerfectPass System, can I upgrade to Star Gazer? A. Yes, any PerfectPass can be upgraded. You will need a new Master Module & GPS Receiver. If your Dash Display is more than four years old, you will require a new Multi Line Display Gauge. Q. Which system should I go with if I usually boat in a river or body of water with current? A. If you consistently are in a river or body of water with current, then we recommend Wakeboard Pro or Digital Pro, which are paddle wheel based systems. The GPS based systems will not be able to compensate for the speed of the current so you would have to change the speed when switching from upstream to downstream and vice versa. Q. I have an older boat with carburetor, is this boat compatible?A. Absolutely, PerfectPass was invented on this type of engine. In fact, the cable connection is identical to a fuel injected mechanical engine.Q. What if I buy the system and am not happy with it? A. Your satisfaction is 100% guaranteed. If not satisfied in the first 30 days, you can send it back for a full product refund.Q. Can I install it myself?A. Yes. Almost all of our customers install this system themselves. Figure between 90 minutes to 3 hours for install depending on which version of Perfect Pass you want.

Get Your Boat Ready for Summer with this Checklist

As the new boating season approaches, wakesurf and wakeboard enthusiasts eagerly anticipate hitting the water and carving through epic waves. Proper preparation is key to ensuring a smooth and thrilling wake experience. Whether you're a seasoned wake boat owner or new to the sport, this article will provide you with essential tips and reminders to help you get ready for the new boating season. Perform a Thorough Boat Inspection: Start by thoroughly inspecting your wake boat to ensure it's in optimal condition. Check the hull for any signs of damage, including cracks, scratches, or gelcoat issues. Examine the propeller, rudder, and other underwater components, ensuring they are free from damage or debris. Inspect the tower, racks, and ballast system, ensuring everything is securely fastened and functioning properly. Identifying and addressing any issues beforehand will help prevent problems on the water. Maintenance and Service: Schedule a maintenance service for your boat to ensure all systems are in proper working order. This includes checking the engine, electrical system, fuel system, and steering mechanisms. Change the oil and filters as recommended by the manufacturer, and inspect belts, hoses, and clamps for wear or damage. Proper maintenance ensures reliability and performance throughout the season. Test and Calibrate Electronics: Check all electronics on your boat, including navigation systems, GPS, depth finders, and stereo equipment. Test them to ensure they are functioning correctly and properly calibrated. Verify that the speakers are working and that all connections are secure. Clean and Detail: A clean boat not only looks great but also performs better on the water. Thoroughly clean the exterior of your boat, removing any dirt, grime, or residue. Use boat-specific cleaners to protect the gelcoat and other surfaces. Pay attention to the interior, cleaning upholstery, carpets, and storage compartments. Consider applying a protective wax or coating to keep your boat looking its best throughout the season. Prepare Your Gear: Inspect your gear, including the board, bindings, and tow rope. Check for any damage, such as cracks or loose fins, and replace or repair as necessary. Ensure the tow rope is in good condition, without frays or weak spots. It's also a good idea to inspect and inflate any floatation devices, such as tubes or buoys, ensuring they are ready for use. Having your gear in top shape guarantees a safe and enjoyable experience. Review Safety Measures: Safety should always be a priority when boating. Review and refresh your knowledge of safety measures, including boating regulations, navigation rules, and emergency procedures. Ensure you have enough properly fitting life jackets for all passengers on board, and that they are easily accessible. Check your fire extinguisher and first aid kit, ensuring they are fully functional and stocked with the necessary supplies. Review hand signals and communication methods to enhance safety while on the water.
