Digital Cruise not holding speed?

[Miller_Time]

Hey guys. I have a 2010 LSV and I'm having a hard time getting the Moomba Digital Cruise to hold the speed while surfing. I'm running 1100 lbs bags I'm the rear, 400 in the locker and 650 IBS. The cruise swings over 1 mph when surfing which is causing wave problems for us.

I had a 2008 before and the PP was awesome, plus you could adjust it for more wait. I don't see that option on MDC.

Anyone else having this problem? If so anyone have any tips because I'm at a loss.

Thanks!

I have been seeing this every so often when we surf goofy mostly.

To fix it I just speed up the cruise about 2mph, then bring it back down to were I want to be. I think its caused by turbulence on the paddle wheel. Not positive but doing the speed up and slow down by at least 2mph seems to fix it.

Hmm I'll have to try that.

Also anyone have any experience withe nauticlaugic GPS receiver. Supposedly the Malibu crew rave about it.

Are you moving to WOT after the cruise pro engages? I know if I forget to do that the speed doesn't hold as well.

I have one in the box, planning on installing it the week of Aug 8th

I haven't been going WOT because PP told you not too. But I'll definitely give that a try.

Let me know if you like the GPS!

Hey mmandley,

Did you get a chance to test out the GPS yet?

What did you think?

Should be installing today after I upgrade my stereo.
Stereo is never done.

This is the only time I have had problems with mine. The throttle was just at the tipping point. I just needed to jam the throttle down a bit further but I never open it wide.

I was on a MC last month with a GPS control system. At one point we were surfing and the speed kept fluctuating by about 5+ MPH which made it impossible to surf at all. It would slow then go back up to the top speed set on the control. I am a GPS guy by trade so I noticed the GPS antenna the first time I got on the boat.
The antenna was located just in front of the pilot's windshield. My wife was sitting in the play pen with her left arm up on that ledge in front of the windshield. I noticed her arm was covering the GPS antenna. Problem solved. Other than that it worked perfectly.
