Perfect Pass Question

[AirNautiqueRider226]

When using the perfect pass are you fighting it (in a bad way) when you turn around and full throttle it back to a fallen down rider? Or is it made to do that? :?:

[BIGMAC]

Once the rider falls you pull back on the throttle disengaging the pp. Then fast idle back to the rider with a hint of acceleration to keep the nose from dipping in when going through your old wake (with my boat). Turning around like you are doing tears the water up and causes huge rollers.

Does it hurt the pp not to disengage it?

[TwinTip]

You should not damage the PP but if you don't disengage the system, you won't be able to go anything faster than the speed you had set on the PP. By you opening the throttle (giving it more gas) to go at higher speeds, you will make the servo motor on the PP try to go back to its original speed. You will notice that even if you open the throttle wide, the speed will not increase to max (if the PP is turned on and engaged).

For safety reason, you should disengage (I'm not saying turning it off) the system and then pick up a fallen skier. Note that if you disengage the system before you turn and then accelerate to pick up the fallen skier past the set speed on the PP, you will engage the system once more. Ideally and unless the skier is injured, you should disengage the system once the skier falls and pick him/her up (or go around for another pass) at much slower speed (if not in idle to avoid rollers) than what the PP is set for.

I can go faster than the set speed as long as it is well above the set speed. Do it all the time. I don't really worry about tearing up the water as were we ski it is mostly trash already, and a big area that the rollers just seem to dissapate rellativly fast.

If I am in a river, then I will slow to make a turn to keep the rollers out of the river, but in a big lake there will be rollers regardless of the direction you are running.
