Tweaking Z-BOX

[usaski1]

Can someone tall me how to change the settings for ball 1 time, ball 4 time ect? Im running slow into 1 ball -.09 on one of my passes, and need to tweak.. all others are within +-.02

First off, a -.09 is fast not slow so I'm assuming you meant +.09.

Are you setting up the skier weight factor, Feather, Light, Nomal, XL befor you ski each person ? If its on no skier or too light it will show a slow first segment and then take off once it does the first calculation of speed.

To set the factors press on/off & up keys together, use menue to move up and down the list. Press the up key to bring up the b1, b3 ans b4 to exit settings. Increase the numbers for a fasrter segment.

Thanks.. so I am fast... I'll try that again...

Try taking 3-4 off the ball 1 setting

I have crew weight at 00.. I also thought skier weight went out the window with stargazer? I have not set my skier weight. I have things on normal.. not light or heavy. The crew weight only affects the ball 1 time on short setups I hear... I'm on 2500 FT lakes.

Set the crew weight to 250 I think that is where I leave mine. The skier weight seems to make more of a difference in feel to the skier.

Found the adjustments, thanks guys... I'll let you know... Its was on 8 for 1 ball, and I dropped it to 4.

correct me if I am wrong, cut I think the b1, b3 and b4 settings only apply to 34 and 36 mph. Am I right? - Bryant

[usaski1]

no, there are 2 settings.. one for 34 and below, and another for 36.. once I made the change for 34 and below, its did have an impact at all my lower speeds, and this is crazy, but all my times were the same (+09 ect) for each speed at whatever ball. Crazy.

This is just a suggestion and a reminder. Control issues can be masked by hardware problems. A extra return spring may be necessary as the Z-box requires a higher level of throttle response, checking for control cable binding and lubrication may be in order. We have a Nautique with an APEX Chevy that ran fine in standard Classic Mode yet had a real hard time controlling with the Z-box. cleaned up the above issues and re-located the ground wire directly to the battery and now controls as designed.

[usaski1]

Yeah, I think I'm going to re-run the ground to the battery. Boat is DBW btw.
