To use the surf modes, the Water Sport Control
function must be activated and speed set to less
than 14 mph.
To activate any surf modes the user presses
and releases either Surf Left or Surf Right button
in the display.
Left button is Surf Left. Right button is Surf
Right.
Surf mode is disabled by changing to another
mode or pressing the same surf mode again.
The latter will result in manual mode.
To activate Surf Left:
1. Engine must be running and the speed
must be between 8-14mph.

until a new mode is selected or further

If the GPS speed is above 14mph, both surf
gates will retract. Once the speed drops back
down below 14mph, the system will reactivate
and reset surf gate positions.
If Surf Left is pushed a second time, both surf
gates will retract and the system will be in
Manual Mode.
Surf Right is opposite of Surf Left commands.

This is the condition when no other mode is
active. The system will always start in Manual
Mode when the ignition switch is turned on. At

user input.
If Manual Mode is re‐entered from a surf or
Performance Mode, both surf gates will be fully
retracted. If Manual Mode is re‐entered from
Trailer Mode, all ballast empty pumps shall be
stopped.
The Manual Mode is indicated by no other
mode/function active. In this mode it is possible
to manually adjust the trim tabs from the
external switches.

Performance Mode

This mode is optional and will be hidden if the
boat is not equipped with the option. The trim
tabs can be used to get the boat above planning
speed faster during acceleration.
To activate the Performance Mode, the user
presses the Performance button on the display.
This mode can be used outside or together with
the WSC features but not in combination with
any surf modes or Trailer mode.
As the user increases the throttle and the boat
accelerates, the trim tabs automatically adjust
and are retracted as the speed increases.
