2023 OWNER’S MANUAL
The Surf Star System is powered by PDMs (Power Distribution
Modules). On NXT, XT, and ProStar models, PDMs are found
underneath the dash. On X models, they are found underneath the
driver’s seat and in the observer storage compartment.
As an alternative to the helm-mounted switchpack, the user
may also operate the Surf Star System from the dashboard
touchscreen interface. Operation of the screen interface can
vary substantially depending on the model in question. For more
information on screen controls, see the screen operations chapter
for your model.
Electro-hydraulic actuators provide an instant response. When
making adjustments, use short momentary taps of the switch.
Large adjustments to surf tabs may result in loss of control, which
could, in turn, cause serious injury or death.
Troubleshooting
If one of the Surf Star System’s components does not seem to
be responding to the switch, check the appropriate circuit on the
main breaker board or the PDM screen diagnostics menu. If the
circuit continues to trip after you have reset the breaker, take the
boat to an authorized MasterCraft dealer for inspection. Recurrent
tripping of a circuit may be a sign of a deeper electrical issue.
For additional information on circuit breakers and diagnostics,
refer to the “Basic Electrical Components” chapter. For additional
information on digital screen diagnostics, refer to the chapter
on operating your particular model. Serious, recurring electrical
issues should be addressed by an authorized dealer.

Operation
On all models, users may control tabs and ballast from the helm-
mounted switchpack. To adjust tabs, use the UP and DOWN
buttons. To adjust ballast, use the FILL and EMPTY buttons.
For additional instructions relating to ballast operation, refer
to the “Ballast Systems” section of this chapter. For additional
instructions relating to tab controls, refer to the chapter of this
owner’s manual that deals with operating your specific model.
