Malibu Auto Pull

[houstonshark]

I really hope Tige is working on an update to the Tige Touch to add a feature like the new Malibu Auto Pull. I have a 4yr old boy and a 2yr old boy and last summer it was pretty difficult to try and idle out slowly until they pop up and then accelerate once they are up on the wakeboard.

Being able to adjust how the boat accelerates and add it to a rider profile would be a great feature. It seems like it would just be a flash to the programming of the Tige Touch to add a feature like this so I hope it gets released as an update as opposed to only being available in a 2013 (or 2014) model.

Again, I don't even know if this is on Tige's radar but it should be, and quickly.

That's sounds pretty cool! For now, you will just have to do it manually!

It's pretty tough with the new shifter. It's very touchy.

When I test drove the 1st version of the Z3 at the Lake Mead reunion, I just about tossed CHP into the drink when I started up, because the throttle was so sensitive. I think it will be OK once you get used to it, but it is pretty sensitive. Since it is DBW, I would expect a simple computer update might be something that could fix it if owners feel that they cannot get used to it.

It is a bit sensitive but it gets a bit better with some use and you get used to it pretty quickly.

Yeah, we did start to get used to it by the end of the 2nd day. My only concern is new drivers. It's not dangerous or anything. The biggest issue is swamping the back of the boat when first stopping after a rider goes down. You have to let off the throttle (which usually ends up bringing it to idle) and quickly ease back into it to keep from taking water in the back, wait a sec and then bring it back to idle before turning around.

NEW DRIVERS!Are you going to let someone else drive your baby?

Ha. There will be times where I'll have no choice unless I don't want to ride. By new drivers I mean new drivers of my boat. Unless I really trust someone there will be no new boat drivers driving my boat.
