MasterCraft XT23 2017 - Autolaunch; Gen2 Surf System

2017 OWNERS MANUAL / 256
Troubleshooting
• If the switch(es) is/are unresponsive, check the main circuit
break panel to determine if the circuit has tripped. Reset the
circuit and try the switch again.
• If the circuit continues to trip, bring the boat to an authorized
MasterCraft dealer for repair.
If the boat does not respond as noted in the above instructions, turn
OFF the switch and do not use the attitude adjustment function
until the system has been checked by authorized MasterCraft
dealer because malfunction can result in loss of control of the boat.
AUTOLAUNCH
Models
All X and XT Series Models, XStar
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 with 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 User Settings page of the HV450 or HV700 or
the XStar screens. The crossover speed is the speed at which the
tabs retract to their upright position once the boat is on plane. To
access this screen, press the Menu hot key, select user settings,
select next, then select tab settings. 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.
GEN2 SURF SYSTEM
Models
All X Series, XT Series and XStar models, as an option.
Purpose
The GEN2 Wake Shaping Devices (WSDs) can be used in sync
with additional ballast and presets or manually adjusted to help
build and shape a surf wake with more push and a larger optimal
surfing area. The center attitude adjustment plate (see instructions
immediately above) can aid in this as well.
Location
The WSDs are installed on the port and starboard sides of the
boat’s stern. The switch is located on the armrest or it can be
controlled through the Video Display Gauge.
Operation
In the presets, SURF RIGHT will deploy the port WSD, and SURF
LEFT will deploy the starboard WSD. Surf tabs can also be used as
trim tabs to help level the boat that has an unbalanced load on port
or starboard or when a strong wind is present. Press the right trim
button to make the boat rotate to the right (starboard) and press
the left trim button to make the boat rotate left (port). To raise all
devices, press and hold the UP button until the center attitude is at
zero percent (0%). Release and press the UP button again to raise
the GEN2 WSDs to zero percent (0%). This information will also
appear in the Video Display Gauge, as equipped, and operates in
the same manner.
