3Whats new for 2005?
- No NEW chip ..Perfect Pass version 6.5 is
approved for both 2004 and 2005. Technically - 2004 -- PP 6.5 v .04
- 2005 -- PP 6.5 n v.01
- 2005 -- PP 6.5 n DBW v.01 (MASTERCRAFT)
- DBW Drive By Wire
- ( Electronic throttle ) MasterCraft only
- Name Feature added
4Electronic Throttle
- Throttle is all electronic potentiometers at
the handle throttle send a signal to the engine
control module (ECM) and to the PerfectPass
Control module. (No throttle cable) - PefectPass servo motor eliminated.
- End result - Speed is more consistent
5Electronic ThrottleMaster Module
- New Master Control Module
- Same connectors for Display (or second display),
Smart Timers and line switch - Chips for the Digital Pro Master Module will NOT
work in the DBW module
6Electronic ThrottleServo Motor
- Servo is integrated with the throttle body
- No cable to bind or adjust
7Electronic ThrottleEngagement
- Engagement point will feel different. With the
mechanical Digital Pro module, servo spool out
occurred at 2500 rpm. With the DBW electronic
throttle, all engagement occurs at the rpm set
point for the particular skier. You can expect a
slight RPM drop at engagement - Therefore, it is desirable to engage the DBW
early in the skier set up.
8Electronic ThrottleEngagement
- Slalom ideally come up to set point controls
at .6 sec _at_ 36mph to 2 ½ sec _at_ 26. - Jump push throttle to engagement then push
throttle to near wide open - controls at 1 ½
seconds after engagement - Tricks Use tach to bring boat to desired speed
quickly do not over or under shoot
9Electronic ThrottleOverride
- The system has the ability to over ride the
intended speed by pushing the throttle forward. - In slalom and tricks, once the system is engaged,
the over ride is initiated by moving the throttle
a measured distance. In jump, it is initiated by
the rate of handle movement. - In slalom, there is a built in delay before the
system engages to facilitate getting to the
intended speed rapidly and to provide for pulling
up larger skiers at slower speeds. The delay is
longer at the slower speeds
10Setting up Your New Boat
- Generally check out your boat (steering, rudder
load, switch cable, etc) - Make certain you boat has the over-ride
capability - Check YOUR smart timers location and strength
- Suggest that you do an entire system reset so
that YOU can validate all values - Set the separate RPM baselines for slalom and
jump and speed based slalom and tricks. Confirm
that the paddle wheel is working properly
11Setting up Your Boat
- System Reset To reset the entire system back to
original factory values, press hold ON/OFF
MENU Keys together as you turn key on to power
PerfectPass. Continue holding for a few seconds
until System Reset Yes appears. Then
simply answer questions as they appear. - Engine Selection On initial start up or during
a system reset, PerfectPass will ask whether you
have a big block 6 or 8.1 liter or a standard 5.7
liter engine. This will appear as 6.0 / 8.1 L
Yes This means press up for the big block,
down for all others. - Confirm if correct engine was selected, press
Menu Up Keys together to get into back ground
screen. Following battery voltage, etc you will
see which engine was selected. If incorrect,
perform a system reset.
12Smart Timers
- When you set up a boat, ensure both your smart
timers are in good working order. Check each
Smart Timer With ABT, using the magnet test
mode, go one direction thru the course then the
opposite way. If you have readings that are
consistently weaker in one direction, you MAY
have a weak Smart Timer. -
- Both Smart Timers need to be pointed in the SAME
direction according to magnet polarity. Magnet
north up arrow forward. - Make certain that the Smart Timers are directly
across from each other at the widest possible
location at each side of the boat. -
13Magnets
- Timing Magnets are the life blood for any speed
control system. They ensure the accuracy (time)
for the desired speed, but also control system
function (slalom - gate up and SSB) (Jump -
timing and duration of the pull to the ramp in
the first segment and duration in the second
segment) - All Magnets must be oriented the same - North UP
or South Up (makes no difference) - NOTE At 36MPH one wrong magnet translate up to
4 ½ foot error. At 36MPH 1 foot equals .02
seconds. A 4 ½ foot error translates to .09
seconds. - MAKE CERTAIN A MAGNET TEST HAS BEEN DONE prior to
the start of the tournament. It is also
advisable to check anytime a buoy comes out in
the middle of an event. - All magnets should have a reading of 30 or higher
for slalom and 50 or higher for jump . Also,
each magnet should be 5 of each other. - All magnets should be at the same depth to
minimize erroneous readings.
14Smart Timers
- When you set up a boat, ensure both your smart
timers are in good working order. Check each
Smart Timer With ABT, using the magnet test
mode, go one direction thru the course then the
opposite way. If you have readings that are
consistently weaker in one direction, you MAY
have a weak Smart Timer. -
- Both Smart Timers need to be pointed in the SAME
direction according to magnet polarity. Magnet
north up arrow forward. - Make certain that the Smart Timers are directly
across from each other at the widest possible
location at each side of the boat. -
- Watch for false timing system triggers. You can
reset the timing/system by pressing the UP /\
button prior to the start of the course. - Turn off all cell phones and stay off the radio
when the system is engaged.

- 17.4 28.0
- 15.5 25.0
- All speeds are based in kilometers
- Speeds ABOVE 23 MPH are RPM based and each
baseline must be individually set - Speeds AT 23 MPH and below are speed based
(controlled by the paddle wheel) and must be
calibrated at each speed or by MASTER Calibration
(Master calibration will also calibrate trick
speeds)
16RPM Based Slalom
RPM Adjust
Skier Weight
Crew Weight
Baseline RPM
- RPM Adjust Added RPM to compensate for wind,
current and line shortening (add 10 RPM for every
5 MPH Wind, add 5 RPM for each rope shortening 38
off beyond) - Skier Weight Enter skier weight (system will
add 1 RPM for every pound - Crew Weight Enter total weight of crew and any
additional gear (system will add 15 RPM for every
100 lbs) - Baseline RPM RPM required to run the boat at
the desired speed with NO crew or skier
17Slalom - RPM
- Example
- Required RPM to pull a 200 lb slalom skier
36mph, including a 500 lb crew, and a 10 adjust
for the wind is - 3885 RPM
RPM Adjust wind 10 RPM
Skier Weight 200lbs 200 RPM
Crew Weight 500lbs 75 RPM
Baseline RPM _at_ 36mph 3600 RPM
18Slalom - Speed Based
- At 37 KPH/23 MPH and below the system uses the
paddle wheel to determine actual speed, rather
than using engine RPM. - The system will ask for New Skier information.
Make certain you input the skier settings if
there is any chance the skier will exceed 23 mph
otherwise, the system will not function
properly as it transitions to RPM based slalom. - There is NO RPM Adjustment using the paddle wheel
rather any incremental speed adjustments can be
made with the /\ key or \/ key in /- .1 kph
adjustments.
19Tournament Mode
- Tournament Mode is mandatory use in all
tournaments - First screen displays RPM adjust, skier weight,
KX, PX, and requested speed. - Skier Weight (lbs) switches to display engine RPM
as the rpm increases above idle. Indicated speed
switches to actual speed as paddle wheel begins
to turn. - As timing is activated, the screen will display
the total cumulative time and will update at each
point the boat passes the next magnet. - System will automatically return to the main
screen once the throttle is engaged engine RPM
increases above idle

line (subtract 30 rpm) - Large shaped skis (less rpm)
22SlalomTiming Screen
- First displays the Full Course Time then the
split times - The system automatically returns to main screen
after display of all times. - The system ignores any missing magnets between
the entrance and exit gates other that the 3rd
ball magnet which is necessary for second segment
balance

- Press the \/ (DOWN) button at anytime to bet ABT.
Doing so will stop the timing process at that
point. - Continue to push \/ button to get additional
segment times - No Fall Button for 2005
24SlalomRecall Previous Times
- The system will store the current slalom pass
(ABT) and one prior slalom pass - To access the prior set of times Turn the
system OFF button (DO NOT shut off the engine as
ALL times will be LOST!) - One the system is OFF, press \/ and /\
simultaneously and you will see -- Previous Times

wind current, line length, etc
27 v KX, PX CRW
- Press up /\ for all boat adjustments crew
weight, SSB, RPM offset - Press down \/ for all skier adjustments KX
and PX
28SlalomCrew Weight
- Enter total weight of crew and any additional
gear. - The system will add 15 RPM for every 100 lbs of
crew. - A calculator is available by pressing down \/
up /\ buttons at the same time. It will ask for
the individual weight of each person
29SlalomSSB - Second Segment Balance
- Percentage of skier RPM that is removed,
progressively, starting at ball 3, to prevent
faster second segment times (unbalanced
segments). - Driver adjustable during event to keep both
segments at actual times. - Setting is lower with gear reduction boats (7-15)
since gear reduction boats are able to hold a
more constant speed. - Setting is higher with 11 boats (15-25)
30RPM Offset
- The RPM OFFSET is to be used to lower or raise
the baseline to compensate when the skiers actual
weight does not produce an actual time. - The offset feature will allow you to input the
skiers actual weight. - RPM Offset provides for specific baseline
adjustments at 58K/36MPH, 55k/34MPH and 52K/32MPH
and below. - The Offset feature does not impact the initial
calibration of any baseline speeds. Any RPM
offset adjustment is made to the baseline only
after any skier weight has been added.
31SlalomKX
- KX is a skier adjustable value. Tournament
officials will leave the setting at KX Normal
unless a skier requests a different setting.
Skier may change the KX setting once after the
first pass. - KX does NOT affect the boats average speed. It
does affect the timing of the pull. - Too low a KX - the pull feels late and may be
pulling the skier coming into the buoy. - Too high a KX the skier may feel the boat too
soon coming out of the buoy.
32SlalomKX
- KX Normal will provide a throttle response and
pull considered ideal for most tournament
skiers. (KX is no longer weight skier sensitive) - The other KX settings are
- KX provides a slightly more immediate throttle
response in the pull. - KX provides even more immediate throttle
response than KX. - KX- provides a more delayed throttle response
than the Normal position.
33SlalomPX
- PX setting controls the amount of additional RPM
applied when the slalom switch senses the skier
in a strong pulling position. This touch of RPM
helps the skier accelerate. When the RPM is
removed after the second wake, the skier can be
wider and earlier to turn the next buoy - PX 000 eliminates the switch. ZERO is the
default setting (switch OFF) unless the skier
asks for some other setting
34Speed CalibrationMaster Re-calibration
- Master Recal process will calibrate all slalom
speed based settings after a single pass - Select 19.3MPH/31KPH. Drive thru the slalom
course and do a Typical Re-cal for 19.3/31. - MPH KPH

39Slalom Parameters
SLALOM - Before the start of the Slalom event
Parameter Decision to set Effect
Crew Weight Driver Set before baseline RPM values are checked. RPM compensation for crew weight in boat. Reference total weight of crew in pounds.
RPM _at_ Driver Baseline RPM calibrated without a skier to produce near actual times for each speed required. Reference timing pass at each speed.
WT Chief Judge Chief Driver Waiting time in seconds from exit gates to skier pull up for next pass. Ensures the same stopping time for each skier and each pass. Reference as required at site.
SSB Driver Within normal range for the particular towboat from actual use or from setting chart. Reference initial setting from chart.
40Slalom Parameters
Skier Input for Slalom Event
Parameter Decision to set Effect
Weight Skier Boat Judge Driver Must be an accurate weight in pounds (lbs.) to compensate for skiers pull in course. Reference skier weight in lbs.
PX Skier Boat Judge Driver An additional RPM percentage added when slalom switch operates. PX 0 equal to no switch present. Reference 0 to 40.
KX Skier Boat Judge Driver Adjusts the firmness of the pull, KX normal setting automatically selected by system based upon skier weight, adjustable where KX is firmer and KX- is softer. Reference KX normal, KX , KX- .
41Slalom Parameters
During Slalom event Place the system in
tournament mode operation by pressing up and down
keys together. Display will show RPM adjust
value, skier weight and setting speed. Press up
and down keys to return to normal mode.
Parameter Decision to set Effect
RPM Adjust Driver A plus or minus adjustment to compensate for head or tail wind, current and/or skier pulling strength to produce as near to actual times for segments in both directions as possible.
SSB Driver Used together with RPM Adjust to bring mid and end course times near actual, a larger SSB slows down the second segment time relative to the first segment time.
42JumpChanges
- X8u and x8d are made visible behind CT (counter
cut time) - X8u (UP) controls the timing of when the
additional RPM is added once the jump switch
closes. The higher the number, the longer the
delay - X8d (DOWN) controls the timing of the rpm drop in
the second segment. The higher the number, the
longer it will take for the boat to begin
controlling speed. - Both of these values will be set by each
manufacturer by June 1 and published on the AWSA
Speed Control Website.

49JumpFaster Second Segment Return to Baseline
- Faster Second Segment - If you selected the
faster 2nd segment, the screen will indicate
FAST in Tournament Mode or add the icon
next to the letter in the Regular Mode - 00 K FAST 35.4 or JUMP R 35.4
- Return to Baseline - If you selected no to the
faster 2nd segment, the system will return to
baseline RPM. The system will temporarily reduce
the S2 to 0. You can manually adjust the S2
value faster or slower from the initial RTB
zero setting.
50JumpS2 and S2fine RPM
- S2 - Percent of additional RPM (jump letter)
that remains above the baseline to maintain a
faster second segment - S2fine RPM - fine adjust for the 2nd segment. It
comes set at 0, which means no affect. A number
such as 30 would increase the 2nd segment by 30
rpm. Example A jumper that does not cut and
does not fully activate the switch may require
extra rpm in the 2nd segment to keep the 2nd
segment in tolerance.
51Jump Switch
- Placement of the JUMP SWITCH
- Thin part of rope for skiers gt 135
- Thick part of rope for skiers lt 135
- THIN THICK
- Check jump switch with Device Test (Magnet Test
sub- menu) prior to start of the event. Replace
or service switch every two years or 400 hours of
use.
52JumpRide Overs
- Ride-overs present a different set of issues.
- Since the skier never engages the jump switch nor
glides free of the boat, times will be on the
slow side. This is because the boat is running at
baseline RPM plus the crew weight adjustment
only. The skier letter value doesnt come into
play as the skier is unable to engage the switch.
Heavier jumpers (gt 100lbs) will create enough
drag such that the time could be out of
tolerance, particularly in a headwind. - As an alternative - use Letter A so the switch
does not come into the equation even for a
moment. For College splits where there is no
timing (no magnets) set the letter to A to
prevent throttle application upon skier landing.
In both cases, use RPM Adjust to obtain the
desired speed on the digital speedo. Be sure the
digital speedo is properly calibrated prior to
the event start.
53 54Jump Parameters
Before Jump Event
Parameter Decision to set Effect
Crew Weight Driver Set before baseline RPM values are checked. Compensation for crew weight in boat. Reference total weight of crew in pounds.
RPM_at_ Driver Baseline RPM calibrated without a skier to produce near actual times for each speed required. Reference timing pass at each speed.
55Jump Parameters
Skier Input
Parameter Decision to set Effect
Jump Letter Skier Boat Judge Driver From Jump Letter Chart an official letter is produced, based upon skier weight and distance, the skier may accept this letter or select a letter three higher or lower. If the driver and Boat Judge conclude the letter is not correct and must be changed due to unacceptable speed, they must inform the skier of any change to the letter. Reference Printed jump letter chart or system select from NEW JUMPER menu.
56Jump Parameters
During Jump Event
Parameter Decision to set Effect
RPM Adjust Driver Adjust total boat RPM to compensate for each skier pull characteristic, wind and current. An increased RPM adjust speeds up boat times in both segments.
S2 Driver Adjusts boat speed and times in second segment only. S2 is only effective when the jump switch is properly activated by skiers. Reference initial setting from chart.
S2 RTB Driver Same as S2 when "Return to Baseline" is selected.
S2Fine Driver A direct RPM adjustment for the second segment only. Is present for every pass. Normally used only when Fast Second Segment is NOT selected. Reference 0 RPM.
CT Driver Maximum allowed time during counter cut that RPM is added while jump switch is closed. Adjust to release skier and prevent boat over speed. References normal 190 head wind 210 tail wind 170 skier ¾ cut 160
57Tricks
- Set speed quickly and smoothly to requested
speed. Do not overshoot the speed as it will
take longer for the boat to stabilize - Let the speed settle prior to making subsequent
requested changes.
58Trick Parameters
Before Trick event
Parameter Decision to set Effect
Speedo Calibrate Driver Adjust boat speed to the required 34 seconds for total slalom course at 17 mph and 27.4 kph or use hand held GPS reference.
Kd Driver Confirm setting at correct default value. Reference Kd 16
During Trick event Skier Input
Parameter Decision to set Effect
Kd Skier Adjust boat firmness as required.
59Secondary Display
- IWSF Rules require that for all L R Class
Events, a secondary "Officials Display" must be
in the boat. The secondary display will be
passive in that is it intended for viewing only
and can not be capable of impacting the
performance of the boat. - Displays and Y Adapters are available which make
for quick connection of the secondary passive
display.
60Look for .
- Slalom switch pull off the protective cover and
visually inspect the springs (they do break).
Look for wear on the switch rope primarily at
the carabineer and at the pylon. Make certain
the rope runs over the top of the switch and not
wedged in the micro switch (use loose wire tie
for retainer) - Jump switch plugged in and working?
- Smart timers are they working and is the
placement good? Is the arrow pointed in the
correct direction? Magnet test???? - Servo in good working order. Line shows little
wear. Servo can not be turned by hand when
powered up. Look at cable alignment. Check gap
at throttle cable and Perfect Pass connection. - Check that the paddle wheel is functional and
accurate. Dont damage the paddle wheel when
putting a boat on the trailer or lift. Remember
that without the paddle wheel, you can not pull
speed based slalom or tricks.
NO
61General Use
- Keep your hand on the throttle at all times.
- Communicate with your judge. Ask the judge not
to use the radio once you have engaged the system - You should initiate a re-ride request if the
system fails to time the pass at the start of the
timing course (system starts early or late) - Always shoot for Actual Times. Make
adjustments as conditions change. - Make certain you understand system operation
prior to use. - Check all system parameters prior to the start of
the event. - Metric Conversion Feature -Press menu and down
key at the same time for Metric converter to
calculate required equivalent values - kgltgtlb, mltgtft, or kph ltgtmph.
