So I just did my pp install and took the boat out yesterday. I am having trouble getting pp to stay constant surfing. Wakeboarding its spot on. Do I need to adjust my kdw? I have it at 95 trying to surf at 9.5 I have an 03 sanger v-230 running 1100 rear portside 450 bow and 5-6 riders port. I know the kdw is to adjust for heavier boats and ballast. Just trying to figure this thing out. Thanks in advance for any input

When you get a lot of weight RPM mode is better.
|
I have my kdw at 180 and seems to work alot better when I surf.
|
180 for surfing. Ill try that. Is RPM mode supposed to beep when it engages? Mine doesnt and im not sure if I made a mistake in the install
|
i dont have stargaze but have the regular perfect pass and when we surf i set it to rpm. Just did not work good on mph with all the weight. Also it still shows the speed.
|
On RPM does it beep when you get to the setpoint?
|
Yes mine beeps when it reaches the set rpm.
|
My KDW is up around 180 as well, and it never strays more than about .5 mph when surfing (paddlewheel).

Trevor, <BR> <BR>I am having similar problems at surfing speeds with Stargazer. I've been dealing with PP and they are very helpful. I have a 2005 DBW MC. Here is the control test I performed yesterday: <BR> <BR>Questions: <BR>1. In Control Test what RPM does it control at? <BR>2. Does it hold very smoothly? <BR>3. Does the “S” appear and stay on solid? <BR>4. While in this mode, turn on your heater, bilge, lights, etc. The RPM should not jump up. <BR> <BR>Scroll through your menu, under control settings, press the up arrow when you get to device test. Bring RPM's up to 1800 or so answer the questions. Turns out I have a bad ground, when I turn on the heater or tower lights, my RPM's jump. I hope the new ground will help my surfing speed problems. Otherwise I will play around with the other settings. I do know a KDW value of 160 is better than 120 for surfing. I will try 180 and see if that helps. Good luck.......
