I am new to the autowake world. Just got a Moomba Max and upgraded ballasts (5900, all plumbed-in working with original switches, etc.). I understand autowake may not be the best option in this case.

Is there a way to display the PITCH and ROLL values of the boat somewhere without activating Autowake? This way I could figure out which pitch & roll works best and re-create those conditions when more/less people are in the boat ?

No. The actual real time values are only visible while in Autowake. But you can switch from Autowake back to cruise by flicking a ballast switch on once you take a quick peak.

That's more or less what I was thinking, but was hoping there was a way to see them all the time. So, flicking a ballast switch; as opposed to just toggling back to Cruise Control? My button toggles between CRUISE-ON, CRUISE-OFF, AUTOWAKE. Will simply toggling back to CRUISE-ON do the trick or will autowake still be doing sometime in the background ?

Should be Off-Cruise-Autowake and back again. So go into cruise, set up the boat; then ice you’re running, toggle to Autowake and you can see the pitch and roll values. It’ll go into countdown but you have a few moments before it starts to dump ballast or adjust. Then flick a ballast switch and it’ll revert back to cruise.

K. Makes sense! Any consensus out there as to what would be ideal pitch & roll?

I like -3.5 roll and 9 pitch , for the weight you are running, when running 3500llbs or less I like the -4.5 and 9 pitch for port surfing. Does the draft sensor keep you from getting everything maxed out?? Not sure why autowake wouldn't work for you. But above stated works very well. I use both methods of autowake , always leave it on and let it work , or see were im at for pitch and roll adjust what I can to help it, once its where I want it then exit out of it. Both work well for me.
