MasterCraft XT20 User Manual

AUTOLAUNCH
Models
All X, XT and XStar Models.
Purpose
AutoLaunch uses MasterCraft’s triple tab logic to automatically
deploy the surf tabs (where equipped) and the attitude adjustment
plate to help push the boat onto plane more quickly and more
eciently, while reducing bow rise. AutoLaunch speeds are
optimized by MasterCraft engineers at the factory and come preset
for optimal performance in normally weighted operating conditions.
Location
AutoLaunch uses built in software to automatically control the
position of the Attitude Adjustment Plate and surf tabs (where
equipped). The AutoLaunch ON/OFF button appears on the CRUISE
and BALLAST AND TRIM hot-key menus. Tap or select the button to
turn AutoLaunch ON (the button on the screen will turn green), tap
or select the button again to turn AutoLaunch OFF (the button on
the screen will turn gray).
Operation
AutoLaunch crossover speeds are preset at the MasterCraft
factory for optimal performance and time to plane. When turned on,
AutoLaunch will automatically deploy the Attitude Adjustment Plate
and surf tabs (where equipped) to reach plane much faster. Once on
plane, the tabs will automatically retract to their raised position.
When wakeboarding it is okay to leave AutoLaunch on, however
for optimal surf performance MasterCraft recommends turning
AutoLaunch o.
If the boat will be consistently run very light (no ballast and low people
weight) or very heavy (full ballast and high people weight) loading
conditions, AutoLaunch’s Crossover Speed settings can be adjusted
on the Settings tab under Ballast/Tab Settings. The crossover speed
is the speed at which the tabs retract to their upright position once
the boat is on plane. Increase the Crossover Speed if the boat is
being run consistently with heavy loading conditions. Decrease the
Crossover Speed if the boat is being run consistently with very light
loading conditions. It is possible to adjust the surf tabs and attitude
adjustment plate independently to optimize time to plane.
