When making adjustments with the attitude adjustment plates, use
short momentary taps of the switch. Continued practice will help
you become familiar with how the plates perform.
NXT Wake Shaping Device switches: Press the LEFT side of the
three-position switch to allow the boat to roll left. Press the RIGHT
side of the three-position switch to allow the boat to roll right.
Placing the switch in the center or neutral position maintains the
devices in equal position, ceasing the roll to one side or the other.
Maneuvering a boat with the wake shaping devices deployed
requires practice to master. Initial times running with either
deployment should be done at low speed and with plenty of room.
This is critical to learning how the devices affect control and
maneuverability.
Electromechanical actuators provide an instant response. When
making adjustments, use short momentary taps of the switch.
To raise all three (3) devices (the two [2] wake shaping devices and
the one [1] attitude adjustment plate): press and hold the switch
until the attitude plate equals 0% (zero percent). Release, and then
press again to raise the wake shaping devices to 0% (zero percent).
To raise one side, press the opposite side, i.e., to raise the right
(starboard) side, press the left (port) side of the wake shaping
device switch.
Special Conditions
Head Sea: Lower the plate by tapping slightly DOWN. This will bring
the bow down while maintaining speed. This also allows the hull of
the boat to absorb the impact of the waves. This adjustment will
result in a more efficient and smoother ride. Changes should be
made in small increments to ensure maintaining control of the boat.
Following Sea: Make sure the plate is fully retracted by pressing UP.
This will bring the plate up to a fully retracted position, decreasing
lift in the stern and allowing the bow to rise. If the plate is deployed,
the bow may dig.
Shallow Water/Hole Shot: Lower the plate completely by pressing
DOWN. This provides lift in the stern of the boat and will keep the
bow down. As you throttle up and speed increases, raise the tab by
pressing UP.
Uneven Load: If one side of the boat is higher than the other while
running, press DOWN on the switch on that side. This will lower the
tab on the listing side (low side) to bring the boat level.
Porpoising: To stop porpoising, press DOWN. The plate needs only
to be deployed slightly to correct this adverse situation.
