2023 OWNER’S MANUAL
AUTOLAUNCH
Models
All NXT, X, XT, and X Star 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.
