NSS/NCRS Settings - Function?

[Dandy21]

Hi All,
We recently purchased a 2014 G23 with NSS. We have not put alot of time on the boat yet, but I am struggling with what the numbers on the LINC screen reference for both NSS and NCRS. I understand what items each control on the boat, but I cannot understand the reference of the numbers.

Can someone explain this for me?

I tend to look and understand things mechanically, so I am wondering for NCRS, is 0 plate all the way up or plate all the way down?

For NSS is 0 plate all the way in or plate all the way out?

If realize that for NCRS if the plate is up more of the boat will be allow to sink in and displace more water, as will NSS if the plate is further out it will delay convergence further back on the wave. The further out the convergence is pushed out the longer/flatter the wave will be?

Any help to better undertand this would be greatly appreciated. This would allow me to make adjustments and acctually understand what it is doing instead of simply seeing what the wave "looks" like.

Thanks in advance for any and all help.

Well, I know with NSS, 0 is fully extended, greater delay in convergence, flatter wave.

Let's go out and ride sometime Dan!

If we went out this weekend, it would be just a tad colder than the last time we got together, however the SUN might actually be out

Dandy- Ive got about 245hrs on NSS, this is what I believe to be true:

You've really got 4 variables to play with as it pertains to NSS surfing. NCRS, SurfVert, Speed and weight.

I'm gonna use the exact terms used in the Link so there is no confusion. I think F725 has something confused above.

NCRS- this is is the trim tab dead center in the boat. NCRS at 5 makes the bow super high, wave tall but shorter in length. NCRS at 0-1 brings the bow down, wave gets shorter in height but longer in length. NCRS is for 23mph wake sports AND surf settings. Generally my NCRS settings are at 3-4.

SurfVert- This affects the steepness of the surf wave.... and the size of the wave to a little extent. Surf vert 1 would have a mellow, more rounded approach on the wave. SurfVert 3-4 would have a much steeper wave face associated with surf style or an ocean wave for example. Generally my SurfVert settings are at 1-3. At 3, Surf Vert wave is sliiiiightly bigger, but not a lot.

Speed. For a G23 I cant see going slower than 11. I usually run 11.6 and sometimes as fast as 12mph. 11.6 is dead center for me. When you start to go real heavy... as in 2-3000lbs over factory ballast... you'll want go faster to draw that massive wave out some. Its a blast.

Weight. As much as how much weight.... as it is how its placed inside the boat. Ive found a 60/40ish lean to the surf side yields the best results. I evenly weight my boat and just have passengers sit on the sirf side to get that mild lean. I find that the wave quality is better, and I can keep my NCRS and SurfVert settings lower... which allows me to run lower RPMs....higher numbers in those settings drag the water more. Getting the weight balance right really help with wave quality and lower RPMs. I keep 300lbs of lead in my bow, helps draw out the wave some. 5-600lbs of lead would be A+.

[F725]

Possible I have things mixed up but I don't have NCRS on my 210 so I cannot speak to that. NSS: 0 = rampy, 5 = vert.

[F725]

Yeah Dan, the temps were tough that day. Let me know if you want to get out this weekend.

Where are the plates at setting 0-5 on each? Trying to figure out if 0 is in and 5 is fully deployed etc.....

Ryan's information is mainly correct above. My only correction would be that where he refers to Surf Vert, he really means NSS. To adjust the NSS settings, the buttons are labeled Surf Vert and Surf Ramp. Surf Vert increases the NSS setting number, while Surf Ramp reduces the NSS setting number.

Reviving this old thread as I was wondering the same thing. Is NSS at 0 fully deployed as it creates more lift in the rear of the boat allowing for a longer and lower wave? Is NSS at 5 deployed an inch or so cleaning the face of the wave but allowing maximum wave height?

Thanks for any confirmation.
