Zero Off GPS

[Jason B]

Does anyone here have any experience with the Zero Off GPS speed control system?

I'm looking into a speed controller for next year and I came across this one. Concept sounds good in theory, but I've never heard of them before this.

I've never heard of them either. But it sounds cool I'd be interested to see if it works.

They just replied to my emails and apparantly this is not an option for me at this time since my boat does not have the "drive by wire." I thought it did...guess not. Oh well. I like the idea of not cutting a hole in the hull.

I have had experience with this on Travis Moye XStar(it was a prototype). The system is incredible. It is very accurate, holds speed within 1/10 of a MPH(never hunts), doesn't lose a reading like a paddle wheel, and it never surges past your set speed. The thing accelerates to your set speed and hits it perfectly, won't even go a nudge over. The only problem is CC will have exclusive rights to it for 2008. After that who knows which manufacturers will pick it up.

Over on WW there was some talk about it being inaccurate on rivers. Anyway, check it out for yourself:

I heard its going to take over PP.

Not if 99% of the boats on the water can't use it!!!!
They better come up w/ a fix ASAP or somebody else will.

Hmm... I wonder why it has to be throttle by wire..
