Before using Tigé ZeroOff GPS Cruise Control take time to familiarize
yourself with the system and its operations.
The system will only operate when the dash CRUISE CONTROL switch is
toggled ON. If this switch is toggled OFF during ZeroOff GPS Cruise Control
operation, the system will disengage as soon as the throttle is brought back
below the set point.
ZeroOff GPS Cruise Control resets each time the CRUISE CONTROL switch is
manually toggled off and the throttle arm is brought below the set position.
ZeroOff GPS Cruise Control is solely governed by the throttle. If you desire to
stop your boat at any time, pull back on the throttle arm.
To Set ZeroOff GPS Cruise Control
Toggle dash CRUISE CONTROL switch to ON position.
There are two ways to set ZeroOff GPS Cruise Control:
• At idle, preset the desired speed using the UP/DOWN buttons on the
ZeroOff GPS Cruise Control control panel. The preset speed appears in
the center dash digital readout. Push the throttle handle fully open to
give Tigé ZeroOff GPS Cruise Control full throttle authority. The boat will
accelerate to the preset speed.
• While underway, accelerate to the desired speed and press the ZeroOff
GPS Cruise Control button on the center of the ZeroOff GPS Cruise
Control control panel, then push the throttle handle fully open to give
ZeroOff GPS Cruise Control full throttle authority. The boat will maintain
the set speed.
Pulling the throttle arm back will instantly disengage ZeroOff GPS Cruise
Control, allowing the boat to slow or come to a stop. ZeroOff GPS Cruise
Control will allow slowing and stopping, it will not allow the boat to go over
the set speed.
For example, if you are towing a skier at a set speed and the skier falls,
simply pull back on the throttle arm. The boat will slow and you can resume
normal throttle operation to turn around to pick up the skier. As long as
the CRUISE CONTROL switch remains ON, ZeroOff GPS Cruise Control will
remember the set speed. To begin towing the skier again, push the throttle
arm completely open and ZeroOff GPS Cruise Control will accelerate the
boat to the previously set speed.
To Increase Speed While Using ZeroOff GPS Cruise Control
There are two ways to go to a higher speed:
• Hold down the FASTER button and release it when you reach desired
speed.
OR
• Press the FASTER button in increments (about a half a second each
time).
Each time the FASTER button is pressed, your speed increases by about
a 0.2 MPH. This is useful for small speed changes desired by the person
being towed.
For example, if you desire to go 1 MPH faster, press the FASTER button five
times (about a half second each time) and Tigé ZeroOff GPS Cruise Control
will take you to your desired speed.
