boat. If the orientation is
reset while the boat is in the
wrong position, the ATP will
not properly control the boat.
To reset the orientation,
follow the orientation
procedure on page 23.
System will not
automatically retract the
tabs when the boat is
idling or at rest
• Potential Cause: The idle Angle
is set too low.
• Solution: The boat is not
settling below the idle angle
so the tabs are not being
retracted. Reset the idle
angle with the boat at a
slower speed when the idle
angle is set. Do not set the
idle angle with a heavily
loaded bow.
System will not
automatically deploy the
tabs on acceleration
• Potential Cause 1: Idle Angle is

• Solution: The boat is not

assumes the system is still in
planing mode. The system
will not fully deploy the tabs
on acceleration to prevent
false full-tab deployment.
Reset the idle angle with the
boat at a slower speed when
the idle angle is set (See
page 24). Do not set the idle
angle with a heavily loaded
bow.
• Solution: The system
detects accelerations to
determine that the boat needs
to put the tabs down. If
the boat is accelerated very
slowly, the system may not
detect the acceleration. As
the bow rises, the system
will go into automatic
control mode and put the
tabs down in a control
mode, but it will not rapidly
deploy the tabs. If the boat
is accelerated slightly faster,
the acceleration may be
sufficient to be detected and
drive the tabs down.
