Perfect Pass?

[wakewench]

Is this a "must have" option? We are all beginner wakeboarders at this point, so I"m just wondering if we should consider it.

Thx

absolutely... more so if you're a beginner. Basically, you set your speed, hit the throttle, pull back after you're on a plane and PP takes over. you dont have to worry about keeping your speed consistent, RPMs, etc. Just have to pay attention to the rider and your surroundings. If you need to, justify it as a safety feature.

It is a must! not only for the ease, but I am introducing most of my friends to the sport and they have very little, if any boating experiance....with that said who is left to pull me?
I want a quality pull when I am behind the wake and it is no fun going from too fast to too slow when your trying to ride.
It's simple to use neutral set the speed, hit the gas, hear the beep and let go. You do need to teach people to stay away from everything else in the lake though.
If your putting it in a new boat it made about $10/month diff....a good consistant run is well worth $10/month.

I need to reiterate that this can also be justified as a safety feature... when you're teaching someone to drive and they have little to no experience behind the wheel of a boat, its one less thing they have to worry about.

I thank you guys for the good points and I think we will probably go with it now that I realize how useful it will be. We have the best water during the week (at our cabin) and with this I won't mind having my daughters pull me since my husband is at work then.

It depends on the person, i personaly like to be in control at all times so i don't like perfect pass and don't think its worth the money. just my op though.

[Ruune]

well, you're actually more in control w/ PP- being that at a push of a button, you can adjust speed down to .5mph.

[Banks]

thats not what i meant but it doesn't matter what i meant, only thing i am really saying is its a personal preference, like i am the only one out my friends that doesn't like it. thats all

I wouldn't have a boat without perfect pass. Being around boats my whole life I can give a pretty good pull without pp. When it is my turn to ride I get a much better pull from my new boating friends. The driver has enough to worry about and the constant speed is usually the last of their worries. Before you buy make sure you test drive a boat with it, it is money well spent.

Does any one know what to do with a new perfect pass that fluctuates in speed? There is a turning knob that can be adjusted but when I turn it to tighten it, it just turns back to where it was.

Shaz,

I would contact perfect pass. Their website is perfectpass.com.

Thanks ichoop.
I'm handing the problem over to my dealer but I will also see what PP say about it.

[Ruune]

I think that speed adjustment knob is there so that you can calibrate PP with a GPS.

check PP's web site..

The knob you're talking about is part of the servo motor adjustment. Hit the link above to find out more.

Thanks you guys for the input. We demo'd the boat last weekend and decided to go with the Perfect Pass. Also, because it was pretty chilly we went with a heater too - both of these I'm sure we'll not regret!
