Hey Matt

Question on the SL, so if the front ballast only fills to 70% can I weight to the rear and then fill the front full to increase my amplitude? Right now everyone is adding including Ragboy to the Middle, seems like the logic would be to increase weight to the rear of the boat seeing as the ballast in the nose of the boat doesn't fill full. If I add weight to the mid ship it seems that it would only slightly fill the nose more. It seem that once I get enough weight in the rear to fill the nose ballast full only then would I add more in the middle of the boat. Does that make sense?
Thanks

I think you already answered your question, but yes, as someone said earlier, if you add weight in the same area as where the factory ballast is already full, then the system can REACT by adding ballast where the factory ballast may NOT be full. And keep in mind that passenger weight is considered weight. So, on your SL, if you are running only 70% of your front ballast, then you are missing out on probably close to 375 lbs of factory ballast in the front. That is about the equivalent of 2 adults. So, adding 2 more adults to the back seat area, would allow the system to probably fill back the missing weight in the front, and you are actually almost doubling the total displacement (2 more passengers in rear and 2 passengers worth in the front). AND, that is about 750lbs more than before! See how this all adds up quick? Now, if you are just moving passengers from the middle of the boat to the back, or from bow to the back, then you are only adding the missing ballast (375lbs), but I can promise you that 375lbs of displacement is a NOTICEABLE difference. In fact, if you only have a few passengers to start with, it could make a HUGE difference in your overall experience that day.

I know I have written a lot, but hopefully everyone is starting to learn that AutoWake is not just a simple "easy button" or different name for a "rider profile". It is very complex system that can help everyone achieve the best wake or wave possible. If you are not experimenting and letting AutoWake make you a better driver and rider, then you are really missing out on some of the best elements of that system. I know it is not quite the same, but just turning AutoWake on and not exploring how to use it is like having a smart phone and only using it to make phone calls.

I absolutely agree!!! We were new to surf last year, and this thread really helped alot. The open discussion with customers and SC experts is awesome. This specific thread continues to help us become more effective with our Mojo.

I could not agree more with this statement. Having had 2 malibus and 2 Nautiques before our Supra SL, I have never experienced such customer care! It is much appreciated that the people who design and make these boats are so connected and involved with their customers. The performance of the boat reflects your commitment, thanks so much!

I read this somewhere on this forum and it’s the best tip yet on autowake.

Essentially put the most lead or people where you want it for surfing or in rear for wakeboarding. Then let autowake do it’s thing to maximize the other bags.

I was about to just give up on autowake and tried this yesterday. Huge difference in performance.

Tried updating the software today. Was able to get into bootloader mode, but then got an error with a folder icon with an exclamation point and a zero in the top right corner. I am thinking something is wrong with my update file...Please help.

Try deleting the file off the jump drive and reload it. It may have been corrupted. Also ensure that you only have that file on the drive.

I mess with a lot of low volume industrial devices that are touchy about certain thumb drives. I've got no experience with this device, but could imagine how it might be the same. If you don't get anywhere with re-copying the files, try another brand thumb drive. Usually the smaller the better with devices like this - super large drives actually have software to manage that that doesn't jive with devices like this. Also make sure it isn't some fancy thumb drive with any sort of software encryption.

Is the drive empty with only the update on it?
