@mlangeWe ski all the time in rec mode because of the current on the river. Supposedly, you select your ABC setting, then go into rec mode and it'll retain that setting until it's switched again. No noticeable difference in pull I can tell. The newer, integrated ZO screen on the Malibus we ski offer "training mode" instead of rec mode, and speeds are adjustable in 0.1 mph increments and ABC settings can be changed like normal.
