Engineer at PP
An engineer at perfect pass just told me when a digital screens go out on the system many times its a 1 inch black chip inside the computer that comes loose. He says to take the lid off of the module and its in the bottom right corner, he said that many times a corner will come up or out of its slot and to make sure all 4 corners are down, simply press each one with your thumb. the dealership my boat is at said they would try that, I wish it was at my house so i could do it myself, not that i dont trust dealerships to trouble shoot before they just tell you that you need a brand new one!

Yeah maybe if it's going out, but mine was fading and then as we used the boat and got air circulating it would come back and function perfectly normal.
That supra gauge and module look like exactly what you need. As a comparison though, I sold an entire mechanical perfect pass system for $500... in my opinion, if you're going to spend the money, upgrade to the stargazer through perfect pass.

I wouldn't want the stargazer. I like having the paddlewheel. Both my boats have had the paddlewheel wakeboard pro and they've worked great on the rivers we ride on. But when I drove a buddy's boat that had the GPS stargazer, it was annoying as hell because we had to adjust the speed setting depending on if we were going upstream or downstream. One time I tried to make a turn from upstream to downstream and I literally couldn't press the buttons fast enough to adjust the speed change and I lost the ability to keep my rider on the wave. Never had that problem on my paddlewheel. I do 90% of my days on rivers with current, so GPS isn't appealing to me.

all great info guys! The Supra does sound like a great deal (Thanks DFTR Josh!) i am struggling with wether to go ahead and upgrade though. cool thing is the lead that DFTR Josh gave me would be replacing my broken display and i would have a working back up computer if mine went down since my computer works just fine! Is the upgrade that big of a deal? i live on a lake with no current.

"upgrade" depends on your needs/wants/priorities.
For me, the 'upgrade' would be a step backwards because I boat on a river. however, for many, the idea of speed registered by GPS is favorable to that of a paddlewheel. The paddlewheel can be affected by debris in the water, and some complain that the paddlewheel perfect pass can have surges. However, that's totally able to be filtered out via the PP settings. People also like that the GPS units have no "mechanical" measuring unit. therefore it's less intrusive of an install for many. That said, I think that it's pretty ugly to have a GPS receiver sitting out on the deck of your boat. Also, if you boat somewhere that has high canyon walls (like Lake Billy Chinook in Oregon), you can have your line of sight to the satellites blocked.
So, the Pros of the GPS unit are "accuracy, non-mechanical, ease of install".
The Pros of the paddlewheel are "better for current, no satellite blackouts, no GPS unit on the hull, typically less expensive"2008 Moomba Mobius XLV.

Re: Perfect pass
Are you using this on a river? You can connect the paddle wheel to the stargazer and disable the gps. It's probably cheaper to find a display, did you call pp? You don't need one that say moomba on it..
