Section 8 Troubleshooting
Common Questions & Answers
1. Condition:
In both Wakeboard & RPM mode the system beeps to engage, but boat speed
never settles in and “hunts” above & below Set Speed.
Solution:
It appears that the PerfectPass throttle cable does not have free movement and is
rubbing against engine cover or some other obstacle. A Linkage Test should be
performed. See Page 11.
2. Condition:
System beeps to confirm engagement, but boat continues past set speed and never
locks in.
Solution:
Computer is attempting to control, but servo not responding. A Servo Motor Test
should be performed. (Servo motor could be seized). See Page 11.
3. Condition:
System “hunting” in Wakeboard mode only. RPM mode working perfectly.
Solution:
1. Inspect paddlewheel for damage. Does it spin freely?
2. Is paddlewheel fully seated in housing? Is arrow pointing forward?
4. Condition:
PerfectPass digital speed reading shows 22 mph, but GPS indicates boat speed is
actually 24 mph.
Solution:
Highlight MENU arrow and press DOWN Key and [SPEEDOMTER ADJST]
will appear. Quickly press DOWN key several times and drop calibration speed
by 2 mph. (Can be done in the shop or on the water). Remember, the LCD screen
simply shows the data from Master Module so there is no reason to suspect the
Display is a problem.
5. Condition:
PerfectPass green light in display is on, but no data on screen.
Solution:
Check to see if servo motor is powered, if not then the system does not have
adequate voltage or is poorly grounded and will not start. (Measure voltage on
PerfectPass power cable, which should be in excess of 12 V).
Note: When ignition is OFF, the black knob on servo motor turns easily. When
powered, knob is stiff and is difficult to turn by hand.
If servo motor is powered and performs auto tighten rotation but Display has no
data, then Display should be changed.
