Special Conditions

Hole Shot: A hole shot is a special
condition where the boat operator
wants to get the boat up and on plane
as quickly as possible. The ATP
will sense the boat's acceleration

and bow rise and deploy the tabs
automatically, but the user can put the
tabs full down before the acceleration
begins by putting the vessel in hole
shot mode.
To enter Hole Shot Mode:
1. Press the ALL DN button to fully
deploy the tabs.
2. As the tabs are moving down, the
operator will press the FAV1 or
FAV2 button that is desired.
The system will now leave the
tabs full down until the vessel is
accelerated. This will help the vessel
get on plane faster than it would
when the tabs are deployed as the
vessel is accelerating. When in hole
shot mode, the ATP will leave the

tabs down until the boat's attitude
moves below the planing angle, then
the boat will enter Accel mode and
move the trim tabs to the anticipated
operating position as the vessel gets
up on plane. In Accel mode, the ATP
will wait four seconds for the vessel
to settle, then it will move to planing
mode.
Rough Seas: Rough seas are a
special condition where the boat is
pitching and rolling excessively due
to sea conditions. In rough sea
conditions, it is best if the operator
takes control of the trim system. The
ATP system is constantly monitoring
sea conditions for large swings in
pitch and roll, as well as excessive
pounding from waves. Upon
detecting rough sea conditions, the
ATP control will stop automatic trim
tab operations and fully retract the
trim tabs. The ATP control will
indicate that the system has detected
rough seas by flashing the blue lights
on the FAV1 and FAV2 buttons. The
lights will continue to flash until sea
conditions have changed. When the
ATP senses that the sea conditions are
calmer, the ATP will again resume
normal operation.
These two
LEDs will
flash
alternately
to indicate
the system
senses
rough sea
conditions.
