thanks for the reply. So let's say i have been surfing without using autowake or the cruise and we are done and are heading back to the dock. Are you saying i can just manually hit the fill switches for the 3 ballast bags and then give it some throttle and this will cause all 3 tabs to deploy to get up on plane faster?
yes, all ballast completely full, extra lead, 7-8 people. If i try and head back to the dock with that much weight i can not get up on plane so i usually sit for 5-10 min to drain the ballast.Quote:

I believe what Knox is saying is that by flipping up your ballast switch with Autowake on it will pause Autowake and not drain your ballast like the Go Home feature does.Quote:

It does this especially if the water is choppy. I don't have GPS Zero Off, just the regular cruise. It's not a big deal, just every once in a while it does it.Quote:

I have played around with the 3 plate launch and there are a few things that really bother me. So right now without the go home feature I turn autowake on, set amp to 0, and turn cruise on and the plates deploy just like they should. The problem is that my bags are full at this point and I want them to drain while I head back to the dock. I can’t remember the speed but at a certain speed the plates go back up and then I can’t hold the speed and I go back and forth to the point I get sick of it and I never use it anymore. If it drained the ballast while I got on plain I think I could keep the speed all the way back to the dock. I haven’t tried it but wouldn’t the plates pull back up if you flipped a ballast switch while autowake is on. I know it gives you a screen that says autowake can’t run while ballast is draining or something. If I could manually drain ballast and still get the three plates to deploy I would be really happy.

Hmmmm that is interesting. By setting amplitude to zero will Autowake not automatically start draining your bags? As far as the small screen I am not sure if it can or not.Quote:

I could be completely wrong because I might not give it the time it needs to drain the bags but every time I try it I have just finished surfing and the bags are full and I change the amplitude to 0 it doesn’t change much. I just wish there was a button to turn a launch mode on and then the 3 plates deploy with or without autowake.Quote:

Sounds like you are going to pull a move like me and find that right combination where you have the tabs all go from full deployed to fully retracted on plane while your rear bags are still full. Get ready for instant nose to the sky! And for everyone in the boat to look at you as if you're an idiot. LOL. You'll know it when it happens!Quote:

I would think that if you set it to 0 than it would still try to hit your pitch and roll #s bit with as little ballast as possible in turn draining a good bit.Quote:
