They should have done this during the lake test.. but who knows maybe not.. skiers choice rep said you can leave the lead in midship lockers while calibrating, but I'm gonna do it by the book (video) just to be sure.

My buddies new 21 SA had similar issues.. it was calibrated during the lake test, but after the first time surfing it definitely wasn't right... the dealership came out surfing and adjusted the Inclinometer, pitch roll offsets, surf plate offsets, cycled/calibrated ballast sensors and all was good after that... makes an absolutely Insane wave now.

I'm either going to have them come out or just have them look at it at the 20 hour service. Might just use manual old school settings until then.

Frustrated, for sure.. but hoping it gets sorted out.

My thoughts are that you should recal as used.

As used (everything in its normal place) would have the better integration with the gimble and provide true pitch and roll as we have equipment that is resident on the boat. People and their cargo get adjusted for by the system.

If you unload or re-apportion any distributed weight it will effect your baseline when you put it back to where it “normally” resides. The mean of fuel weight would be half full. I would argue that the primary driver should also be sitting in the drivers seat. I have certain objects on the starboard side to offset driver weight. This is the boat’s at use distribution.

The reason you would not fill ballast during the recal is that the ballast is what is being distributed to accomplish pitch and roll values, and because the baseline is used by all modes (I.e. surf 1 & 2, wake, return to dock, etc. ), not all modes use ballast at or near the median of the capacity.

I know SC’s videos on recal say empty, but I think there may be oversight in laden, in-use, weight and distribution characteristics that may not be being realized by a system calibrated to unladen weight and no distribution.
