Perfect Pass Digital Pro (2006)

[mcbridek]

2006 ski Nautique, with digital pro perfect pass, DBW. My perfect pass display goes blank, or very hard to read, seems to be tied to humidity. The speed control is working, but you can not read the screen. Early morning, it is a problem, later in the day, the screen is fine.... In communicating with technical support at perfect pass, it sounds like gauge has to be replaced. Not sure if anyone else is experiencing this problem, or has a solution, not looking forward to spending $200+ with no functional improvement.

Mine has been similar but usually boils clear after a day in the sun. It must be a POS enclosure to have this problem.

Three suggestions:

1. Adjust the contrast.

2. Buy a second hand control head from one of the promo guys. I think clemsondave or one of the others has several. I think they changed them out on day one.

3. Buy the gps kit...its a few hundred more....oh wait - that might use your old head unit?

I'm in the same boat as you. Left mine uncovered overnight and enough moisture got in to screw up the display. After a couple hours it evaporated and worked ok. Some things on a boat should be water proof..

I also have the same problem on my sv211- 2006 model
Also interested in fix
Thanks for bringing it up

I have a good display unit. But the cruise control sometimes speeds up in corners over the set speed price. but in straight lines itll stat at the set speed ??? any help could be appreciated

I used to have perfect pass stargazer and in mph mode it speeds up around corners, but in rpm mode it did not. I usually stayed in mph mode for wakeboarding, but my ski buddy's usually preferred rpm.

Must be the 06 year. My 211 with wakeboard pro does the exact same thing. Works fine but if I cover the boat takes a few hours for the display to work.

It seems to me it is a condensation thing which fogs up the screen & the digits fade away
Speed control is fine but I cannot see digits then they reappear later in the day none of the
Other gauges are affected just the perfect pass would be great if someone has overcome this
Issue seams to be a few of us, is there a faulty seal I'm sure someone out there has overcome
This as is quite annoying

Maybe we need a PN "group recall"

My 06 211 has the same issue. Definitely a pain when you want to use it during an early morning set. After a couple hrs in the sun I can read it, but it takes that long or longer for the moisture to evaporate. I would like to see perfect pass come up with a solution.

[AirTool]

mine has been doing it a long time...maybe I should have made a warranty claim before it expired.

[Mark56]

Ok perfect pass how about it anyone else got a disappearing display I have been putting up with mine for over 2 years
Seems to be a 2006 issue

[Mark56]

Have emailed perfect pass see if they have any advice thanks for bringing this up as I was just putting up with it

My 2006 PP display also has the same behavior following the boat being wet and having the cover on all night. It comes back after the sun bakes it for a bit, but its annoying...

i have an 06 210 with the display doing the same thing. Definately is moisture related. it's been worse this summer with all the rain. i typically keep it it in an enclosed storage unit at my home lake. However, when we go on week long trips and the boat stsys in a slip it is a daily occurance. very annoying.

I saw the comment about the PP speeding up around turns. I've also experienced this to the point that I chucked my my wife thru a double up at about 30 once...... She was not happy to say the least. After talking with my local dealer, one thought- water chop could attribute to it. For me it only happens when i turn to the right. The paddlewheel is under the boat on the port side of the boat. When you turn to the right the paddlewheel could slightly come out of the water with a little wind chop causing the reading to get screwed up and then the computer trying to adjust for it. I have not experienced it when i make my turns towards the port side. Its just a theory though.....
