I think the one that confused me the most was when it said something like this (not exact wording) "bow maxed out add weight in rear"

Center balast was emptied by the auto set up and the rear had 2500lbs. So this just confused me.....I thought the auto would fill center bag max on its own. Then I felt when I went to fill it, it would go turn off the auto system because I was manually filling.

Not sure.....sorry to be a pain, I am just trying to figure this Auto thing out to try and get my best wave with best push.

You don't say if you have a Moomba or Supra, but just Google "Moomba (or Supra) Autowake tutorial video". They put out a 3 part series on Autowake.

That said, I can't get Autowake to keep my ballasts full and achieve pitch and roll numbers, yet I can achieve them manually with full ballast and Autowake off.

That is where lead or human weight is helpful.

If your starboard side bag is dumping water add lead or human to port side to leverage and force Autowake to fill starboard.

Add weight to opposite side that is dumping ballast.

It shouldn't be dumping ballast at all, since I achieve pitch and roll manually without changing anything.

When I have Autowake on for me, 9.2 pitch and -1.5 roll, 100% amplitude, it dumps 50% from the non-surf side and almost 100% from the center. I have 850 lbs of lead pretty evenly distributed throughout the boat, but biased toward the rear. There is no reason for it to be dumping as much as it does.

Yeah something is up. The most I lose it 8-9%

Maybe try a Recalibration?

This is pretty much what I was seeing myself.

Other comment about adding weight or people to areas that need weight makes sense.

If mine was that off, my dealer would be on my boat telling me what is wrong with my boat.

Autowake should give you a green reading sitting still which should translate to hitting your pitch and roll at speed.

Yeah, that's when it's dumping all the ballast.

So you fill ballast 100% and then turn on Autowake at idle and it dumps 50% out of non surf side and 100% front?
