BALLAST AND TAB SETTINGS
In the Main Menu, the Ballast and Tabs Settings screen is available to
establish fill and drain times for each ballast zone, along with times for
the Center and Surf Tab crossovers. MasterCraft does not recommend
adjusting fill times as these fill times are factory set. If you desire to
change timer settings, contact your authorized MasterCraft dealer.
AutoLaunch Crossover Settings
AutoLaunch is the logic software that automatically deploys
and retracts the Gen 2+ Surf Tabs. When turned on, AutoLaunch
automatically deploys either one, or all three of the tabs to enable
the boat to reach a fully-planed position faster. As the boat
accelerates and reaches its approximate planing speed, called the
crossover speed, the tabs will automatically retract to their normal
running position. Generally, Single Tab AutoLaunch is all that is
necessary for most activities.
Crossover speeds are pre-set but can be adjusted on the Ballast
and Tab Settings page. The crossover speed is the speed at
which the boat no longer needs assistance in reaching a fully-
planed position. The only reason to adjust the crossover speed
from the factory preset is if the boat’s normal operating weight is
consistently very light or very heavy. In that case, the speed can be
decreased for light weight and increased for heavier loads.
Adjusting the crossover speed will take some experimentation. The
goal is to get the boat to plane quickly without causing any spray. If
your boat will be consistently heavily weighted with persons and
ballast, increase the crossover speed to keep the tabs in the down
(deployed) position longer. You can increase the crossover speed by
tapping the + next to the tab(s) to be increased.
If the boat will consistently be run without ballast or with only a few
people, decrease the crossover speed to pull the tabs up earlier. To
decrease the crossover speed for a particular tab (center tab or Surf
tab), tap the - next to that tab.
CRUISING
The 7” Touchscreen simplifies cruising to and from the best riding spot
on the lake by allowing operators to easily get the boat’s ballast and
tabs settings prepared for a set.
