    SpeedSet Not Working on Brand New Boat

    I am a new owner of a brand new Z1. Took out Sunday for the first time. Great boat, but my Speed Set is not working. When you turn the cruise control button on, it registers on the dash. But, when you try to input a speed by pushing the faster or slower button, nothing happens. Does anyone have any idea what might cause this? I hve tried setting the speed at idle, as well as when I am up to speed. My Tige dealer doesn't want to look at it until the spring and I would like to use it a couple of times before winterizing it. This is only dealer in the state and the boat is covered by Warranty, I don't have any options at the moment. Thanks for any help.

    I am sure you did, but it is not clear in your post. After you turn the cruise control on get up to speed and then push the large speed set button. After that, use the faster and slower buttons to adjust. If you did all of that then I am no help.

        Believe me, I would love to find another dealer. I have been told the local Tige dealer is not up to par on the service side. I am not happy about it, but it's under warranty so I don't have a choice. We only have one Tige dealer here.

          Yes, I have tried setting the speed at idle, as well as when you are up to speed.

            Sounds fishy, but for what it is worth, I just had my new Z1 in the water and it took some time to figure it out and a second explanantion from my dealer.

              Where do you live? If the dealer is bad, why not take it to another dealer? Would be a longer drive but probably worth is since you are not happy with them already.

              This could be a problem with the onboard computer and might need flashing or maybe a lose wire somewhere. Have you traced the wires from the SpeedSe to see if they are all connected.

                What was the second explanation they gave you?

                  Did it work correctly when you sea trial'd the boat before delivery? Cause I know any good dealer would not let you leave with a brand new boat without a sea trial.

                      A couple of things to check

                      1. Are both batteries in good condition
                      2. I have software version VDIG v2.0E - there is a newer version available from the factory, that your dealer can install

                        Both batteries are brand new. I will look into the new software. Thanks for the heads up.

                          When I bought my boat this summer, both my batteries were new. However I kept getting low battery message on the screen, and the speedset was not working well, although it still does not work well. Anyways the non-starting battery was defective and would not hold a charge, the dealer replaced it and the speedset worked better but still have some issues. Check some my recent posts on the speedset as i think there are quite a few of us out there on TO that have issues with the speedset.

                              I would start by making sure the harness on the backside of the keypad is plugged in all the way. It sounds to me like the cruise is turning on but the keypad is not working. Don't worry about what version or download you have. The RZ and Ve boats have different versions or downloads because they have a center digital screen with more features. The Z1 only has one version and does not need an upgrade. I hope this helps, let us know how it turns out.
