Baller Justin_C Posted September 28, 2016 Baller Share Posted September 28, 2016 So we're looking at a new boat but it's a bit of a drive to go see it. Can someone enlighten me as to what the two little switches above the key are for? It seems they may tie into the perfect pass and the speedo?

Baller_ MISkier Posted September 28, 2016 Baller_ Share Posted September 28, 2016 I believe the one on the left allows you to calibrate the speedometers and the one on the right allows you to select which speedo. The worst slalom equipment I own is between my ears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller Chef23 Posted September 28, 2016 Baller Share Posted September 28, 2016 @MISkier is right they control the speedos. Not connected with Perfect Pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Justin_C Posted September 28, 2016 Author Baller Share Posted September 28, 2016 Ok, I didn't understand how it would be connected to the perfect pass, just what I was told. Anyway, thanks for the help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller brody Posted September 28, 2016 Baller Share Posted September 28, 2016 As they said, the up down adjusts the speedos, the left right selects the right or left pick ups and when it's centered it averages the 2 readings this does not have any input whatsoever with perfect pass. FYI I have an 01 response Lx, exact same set up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Justin_C Posted September 28, 2016 Author Baller Share Posted September 28, 2016 @brody thanks! What are your thoughts on the boat? Nice boat? We're looking at one for the camp that will work as a good slalom boat but also have a good wakeboard wake (this one has a wedge and tower). Based on our research, seems to be the best boat for the job in our price range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Waternut Posted September 28, 2016 Baller Share Posted September 28, 2016 I'll add one more thing. It PROBABLY doesn't affect perfect pass. If it's a multi-line display, it definitely doesn't. If it's got an old single line display, some of those actually used the pitot probes for non-slalom speeds instead of the paddle wheel. Depending on your perfect pass setup, it may still be using those switches but I suspect they aren't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Justin_C Posted September 28, 2016 Author Baller Share Posted September 28, 2016 That's the dash. Doesn't look like stargazer. Should probably pick up some magnets... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Bill22 Posted September 28, 2016 Baller Share Posted September 28, 2016 I can't believe they took the RPM gauge out to put in PP! I would have removed the speedometer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller wtrskior Posted September 28, 2016 Baller Share Posted September 28, 2016 @Justin_C that is the newer multi line display so it could have stargazer easy upgrade of the master module and a go's puck anyways. @Bill22 if it doesn't have a paddle wheel then taking the tach out is the right move as pp has the rpm (as seen in the photo) but no speed. Looks like a clean boat they are awesome tow boats! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Chef23 Posted September 29, 2016 Baller Share Posted September 29, 2016 I took the tach out of my boat when I installed PP also. There is RPM on the new PP gauge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Bill22 Posted September 29, 2016 Baller Share Posted September 29, 2016 I can see advantages to both. I am old school, I want to see the analog tach with a pointer. Sometimes I ski a little bit of a ride from the doc till dusk on weekdays and no one is around. If anything funny is going on with the engine a big tach will clue you in.

Baller brody Posted September 29, 2016 Baller Share Posted September 29, 2016 @Justin_C, I love my boat, handles great, I don't wakeboard, but my kids do. Buddies rlx has a tower and they are very happy with it overall. The wedge is a great asset. I think it would be a great camp boat. That's the same display I have and its stargazer.

Baller hemlock Posted September 29, 2016 Baller Share Posted September 29, 2016 I preferred to remove the rpm gauge (for the PP gauge) on my boat for two reasons: 1. My speedo is in mph yet I run my PP in kph, so I have access to both speed readouts. 2. It's nice to see a needle for speed when just cruising and not pulling a skier. Since the PP shows a digital rpm, you don't lose the engine readout but you can also tell by the sound of the engine of what your rpm's are close to. Just my preference. :smile: Oh, and I almost forgot... I think the mini Malibu LCD screen was on the speedo so I was probably forced to remove the rpm gauge regardless. :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller LZywicki1 Posted September 29, 2016 Baller Share Posted September 29, 2016 I'm not a fan of the PP gauge replacing the tach. I like to look at an analog tach also and they don't match the other gauges to well. I went with having both. Left the tack gauge on the dash board, (maybe a little OCD about the symmetry and mounted an external display down by the drivers cup holder.

Baller Bill22 Posted September 29, 2016 Baller Share Posted September 29, 2016 @Justin_C I have a 2001 LX. It is a great slalom tug and with the wedge a good crossover boat. The drivers seat does sit a little low but you will get adjusted to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ DW Posted September 29, 2016 Baller_ Share Posted September 29, 2016 @Justin_C : don't forget to ask them to include the tach if you go forward with the deal. LX is a very good boat and the wedge makes the wakes versatile. FYI - the SV23 hull is also excellent for barefooting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Chef23 Posted September 29, 2016 Baller Share Posted September 29, 2016 01 RLX is a great boat. I ski mostly behind an 01 and an 02 LX and the wakes are great. My son learned from 18 mph to 36mph behind it. Great boat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
