AutoWake questions

[goose]

Goose,

2017 Mojo with current software. No draft sensor. Amp setting at 100.

After surfing with rear ballasts at 100% (or as close as autowake allows) I want to take a wakeboard set.

I manually drain the rear ballast to 50% and turn on autowake for wakeboarding.

Is autowake going to fill those rear bags?

Short answer is the rear ballast levels are tied to amplitude with most recent software. So if you want to wakeboard with approximately 50% rear ballast, then just change amplitude to 50. It will achieve desired roll first, then drain to achieve average rear ballast of 50%. Front ballast adjusts to achieve pitch.

I've only had my boat one weekend, but after reading all of this and 5 hours on the water I've quickly learned to use Autowake as a guide for where to move my additional weight (lead, humans, cooler, whatever). My quick, simple rule, move the movable payload towards the most full bag. you can't fill over 100%, but you can supplement! Heading out tonight with 3 dudes and 2 fly high 1100's out of my direct drive to lay in the floor

Korey, you have it figured out perfectly!!

For many people, Autowake is a tool to get a good wave easy. But the real beauty of Autowake is letting it teach you how to become the best driver possible while maximizing displacement. Some people claim they dont like Autowake because it drains ballast and they prefer to do it manually and move passengers. I say let Autowake tell you exactly where to put those passengers so that you have max displacement AND the perfect pitch and roll. Once you learn how to do that, then you can optimize every experience on the lake with very few days of not being able to get the wave or wake just right....

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 believe Ragboy has 100lbs in each rear locker (200 total in the rear) and about 375 mid ship, if I understood correctly from his videos. People also sit in the back when he goes out, I believe.
