2016 G23 and NCRS again

[Whitetail15]

After the long thread about how the ncrs works in auto mode and how it could be better I was able to do some testing today. Set speed to 28.0 mph had ncrs in AUTO. Rpm was 4000 rpm and holding steady. Turned off ncrs auto and nothing changed.(it was probably already in the 5 position even though it does not tell you that. Then i moved it manually to position 0. The rpm lowered by 50 and nose of boat seemed to drop maybe and inch. If that. The screen showed the plate moving as the zero was orange then turned to white after a few seconds. Just could not notice it much.

Next i did 0-22 mph with it in the auto position then turned auto off and did 0-22 mph in the zero position.
The auto position held the nose down during take off and the zero position did nothing. I could not plane the boat with ncrs off and in the 0 position until the boat reached maybe 15-18 mph then it seemed to level out.

I wish when you put the boat in gear, you could put the plate in any position you wanted. I would always run on zero unless I wanted the nose up and to throw a wake.

so what did you conclude?

I'm having a hard time following what your findings were

I tried this too, and found very little difference in the settings. I set ZO at 25 MPH in Back to Dock mode, then turned NCRS Auto off, and switched from 5 to 0. RPM's on my boat stayed pretty much the same. Any movement at all could easily be attributed to changes in the water. The nose did drop a very small amount.

I almost wonder if NCRS cannot really go to 0 at 25 MPH or above for safety reasons.

I am going to check with Nautique on this.

[NautiqueJeff]

Ok, heard back from Nautique about this.

They do not recommend running NCRS at 0 during high-speed operations. A suggested configuration is Auto ON (High or Low), NCRS setting at 3, 4, or 5.

Thanks Jeff. I hope I did not break mine trying to make it go to zero at higher speeds. Thanks again for checking.

I have a dumb question. What is NCRS? I clearly can see what NSS is on boats, but not NCRS. My 2011 210 obviously doesn't have either.

The horizontal plate going up and down and located at the back of the boat under the swim platform. Look behind the pipe on this picture.

Thanks. I didn't realize there was a plate there. I thought it was a Hydrogate.

[NautiqueJeff]

Thanks Jeff. I hope I did not break mine trying to make it go to zero at higher speeds. Thanks again for checking.

Nah, it shouldn't hurt anything. I did it on mine too to test this out.

Thanks. I didn't realize there was a plate there. I thought it was a Hydrogate.

I guess the function is the same between NCRS and hydrogate, just the name and the design are different. Maybe some else can confirm or not.
