Have you had any issue with PerfectPass holding speed when heavily ballasted? If you have check out this thread and let me know. Thanks.

Check the placement of the paddle wheel. Although I know it is not an X-Star, my boat last year had the same problem. The problem was that there was a scoop style ballast pick up about 4 feet infront of the paddle wheel. This created turbulance across the wheel. It was an easy fix, they put a flat cover on the ballast pick up and it worked perfectly. I too tried the KDW and NN settings.

My buddy has a 2003 X10 with this exact same problem. In our case, 99% of the problem is caused by not enough weight in the front of the boat.

There's nothing you can do about the paddlewheel placement, so you are always going to get the ridiculous acceleration through certain turns.

One thing to keep in mind; you can always "help" the Perfect Pass. It's built to allow a certain amount of manual throttle input. When I drive the X10, I always back off when it tries to pin it in turns. We ride on a winding river, and I can drive a pretty perfect run this way.

I bet anything, with A LOT more weight in the front (or a lot less in the back), and a little manual help from the driver, the boat will be perfect.

i have the same problem with my x10. mine accelerates heavy through the turns but even in staight runs its up and down all the time. i also used to not be able to adjust my speed once driving, and i called perfectpass and they had me unhook some wire from the console.
