Perfect Pass working less than perfect

[pokesgrad02]

Is there some way to reset or adjust my perfect pass? When I have a set speed the perfect pass will get it close then back off by 2-3 mph then catch back up over and over. I switched to using rpm instead of mph and it is doing the same thing. I did figure out if I turn the perfect pass on then very slowly give it throttle i can get it to dial into 3k rpm. However, if I do not do that the rpms will yoyo up and down making it impossible to surf. This is on a 07 sv211. Is it time to replace the perfect pass?

You can try and do a reset, hold the on/off button and the menu button at start-up, and that may fix your issue, otherwise you need to make sure all the linkage is still tight, and make sure you are getting 12V to the unit under the dash. There could be a corrosion issue too causing it.

I'm actually having trouble with mine... It displays "in neutral ^Yes" I keep hitting the up button and nothing happens... Anyways I found this and thought it was helpful, I read something that should help you with your problem. It's a trouble shooting guide.

What version of PP? Assuming it's not GPS Stargazer, there are some settings that you will likely need to play around with. You can find manuals on Perfect Pass's website, and they're quite responsive and helpful if you call them.

Here's a thread I created a couple of years ago detailing the problems and adjustments I had to make on the version of Wakeboard Pro that I had. I've now upgraded to Stargazer, but these adjustments helped us immensely till the display started crapping out.

check that the screws holding the PP throttle cable to the throttle body are tight. if they are loose it can wander either speed or RPM-wise.

Also check the paddle wheel make sure all the scuppers are attached


outside the reset. There are some adjustments for KDW and NN you make to smooth out system based on your balllast weight and speed combo you run. What are those current values ?

I had this happen to me yesterday. It would intermittently go a bit faster or a fair amount slower. I had it set at 10.5mph but it would go up to maybe 12 and then back off down to like 5 mph and then try again. We turned the boat off, turned the batteries off, tried again and it still happened.

Then we took about a 40 minute break to eat lunch and just float around with no engine power. Then it went away and did not come back the rest of the day (another 2 hours or so of wake surfing).

I suppose I'll wait to see I it comes back but it is definitely one day to ruin a day of surfing if it hadn't resolved itself.
