AutoWake questions

[goose]

Did Autowake start in 2017?

Yes. 2017 was first year.

David, I have the 2018 software also on my 2017 mojo. The amp settings work as Steve describes. I actually had my dealer add the 2018 draft sensor to the boat, so that the amp settings will work to their full potential. I haven’t had a chance to use it yet as I had it done when I winterized the boat.

So since this will not work on the 2017 Supra, is it going to actually work on the 2017 moomba?

Yes, because I have the 2018 software. Not sure if that’s what you are asking, but the boat has all the wiring needed for the 2018 commections

That’s what I meant. Since it wouldn’t work on Supra just wondering that although it hooked up to the moomba was the internal hardware correct for it to work. Thanks for the info.

I’m also thinking yes based on Goose previous response...

Hey guys. Sorry I was late to the party, been busy working on new stuff. I will try to help answer questions or at least be available to answer any questions that I can't clarify on this post. Just to be clear, we don't actually have an updated 2017 software and a 2018 software. What we have done is added extra logic on the 2018 software so that it is backwards compatible on the 2017 models with AutoWake. So, anytime we have a new software release, that release works for 2018 and 2017. The reason I point that out is because we actually just got another new release. This release actually has some slight improvements for the water temp and paddlewheel depth issues we have had with some boats. It also adds a little more time to the ballast timers that was requested by some of you. Not drastic, but if you have issues with needing a little more time, the new release should help. As of today, the most recent software ends with date 20171121. Typically that is release date (11-21-17).....

We're headed to the Louisville boat show tomorrow, and our dealer has a booth there. My wife and I are both controls engineers with a '17 Mojo that we absolutely love, and we've been following this thread since it came out. First off, HUGE help to us in dialing things in and getting good consistent waves. Second, when we had our dealer winterize, they were having difficulty finding anyone who knew about a new update for the display... but after re-reading this over the last couple of days, I'm guessing he asked (because its what we were asking him), about an update for 2017... not the 2018 to upgrade it.

I for sure want to load the 2018 on ours before KY/TN season kicks off. If feasible, I'd really love to install the correct draft sensor. I saw where at least 1 person had done that. Question is, if my dealer goes calling, is there a clear guide to them for doing this yet? It sounded like placement was critical (which I'd expect). So, if there's not a SC defined how-to for them, I'd like to ask for any hints, helps, etc., on here so that we can work it through them. If they aren't able, or don't want to do it, I'm very capable, but also busy enough that I'm happy to throw the business their way.

I was in Louisville Wednesday night yacking with Chad and Leon about Autowake and this thread. As of Wednesday, they were up to speed on the differences and seemed like they were willing/competent to do the upgrade. We picked apart the Mojo
and Max they've got there theorizing on what it takes to add the draft sensor. I'll be there Saturday as a family friend turned customer to help their small team where I can, hopefully we meet!

[hotdiesel97]

GREAT! We'll look you up. Those guys have been great to work with thru the years (SeaDoo's at home too), and happy to throw some business their way when I can. Be great if they could do the upgrade and have it ready for lake duty as soon as weather breaks! Depends on how many boats they see

Does anyone have a picture of the draft sensor installed on a Mojo? I was just wondering where it went what the installation looked like.

[korey]

I didn't take a picture, but it's on the front wall of the motor compartment aka back of the center seat. I expected it to be on the transom. Actually in retrospect, don't quote me I might be remembering it incorrectly. From a distance it kind of looks about like it's made from 3/4" PVC pipe and fittings and about 16-20" long.

PS, don't take that "made from PVC" comment as anything other than what it looks like from a distance. here is the patent on the device:
