AutoWake®
AutoWake* is a patented system that will manipulate the ballast levels in
order to achieve and maintain the best possible wake for surfing and
wakeboarding. Using an inclinometer (a device that measures angle of
pitch and roll) the boat will orient itself for the best boating experience.
To activate AutoWake, press the first display button twice on the unit. This
will toggle between Cruise Off (seen above in the Main screen) to Cruise
On (No AutoWake, shown upper right) and then AutoWake mode, seen on
the lower right.
To display the AutoWake Environment screen, touch the symbol on
the lower right.
*The AutoWake® patented technology is covered by U.S. Patent Nos. 8,798,825; 9,689,395 and other patents pending. See
www.skierschoice.com/patents-trademarks/

1715055 15 2017-08-30
The text above the Potential / Actual bar will show the current state
of the system:
AutoWake Inactive: This will occur when:
•AutoWake is turned off
•Cruise setpoint is below 7mph or above 26mph, or
•When actual speed is between 3mph and within 0.1mph of
setpoint.
Below 3mph, AutoWake will use static functionality. Within
0.1mph, AutoWake will use dynamic functionality. The 10 second
countdown timer will activate when actual speed is within 0.1 of
set speed AND when the boat slows down to less than 3mph. During this state, AutoWake
will do nothing.
Once the button is pressed to turn on AutoWake, the system will try to first fill to establish
the correct roll, then it will fill all the rear ballast until rear “Amplitude” is achieved. It does
this in Static mode when the boat is traveling less than 3 mph and in Dynamic mode when
the speed is within .1 of set speed. If AutoWake is active, achieved or in countdown, it will

1715055 16 2017-08-30
return to inactive if a ballast switch is used, speed is not between 7 mph and 26 mph, or
cruise set speed is not within 7 mph and 26 mph. If the display is powered down, it will
come back with AutoWake off.
AutoWake Countdown: Once all conditions are met in the AutoWake Inactive state, a
countdown of 10 seconds will begin. This countdown will remain as long as conditions
continue to be met. Once the countdown is finished, AutoWake will become active. If any of
the conditions change to be outside of the Active limits, the countdown will stop and the
state will go back to AutoWake Inactive. The countdown will start over once conditions are
met.
AutoWake Active: This will occur once:
•Set speed is between 7mph and 26mph
•Actual speed is within 0.1mph of set speed
•The 10 second countdown has finished.
After the countdown, the AutoWake system will begin to fill and drain ballasts in order to
reach the desired pitch and roll values. The system will always fill before it starts to drain.
Therefore the side that needs to lower will always fill to 100% before the opposite side
begins to drain (to raise that side). For roll, if one side has reached the maximum and the

1715055 17 2017-08-30
other side has reached the minimum (rear ballasts only), there will be a pop-up that
prompts the user to adjust weight in the boat to achieve the desired roll values. The pitch
value will have a similar pop-up but will only occur once the roll is finished moving (either
achieved or maxed out). When the roll or pitch cannot move, the color of the set points will
turn red.
AutoWake Achieved: This will occur:
•Once the current pitch and roll values (average value over 5 seconds) are within
0.25 degrees
•AutoWake becomes Active.
The colors of the set points will be green. The achieved status will remain until the pitch or
roll is outside of 0.75 degrees of the set point (in which case it will go back to the AutoWake
Active state).
Static AutoWake Active: This state will occur when:
•AutoWake is turned on
•Actual speed is less than 3mph
•Boat is turned on.

1715055 18 2017-08-30
The system will attempt to fill and/or drain ballasts to reach a static pitch, roll and amplitude
setpoint. If pitch or roll setpoints cannot be achieved, a pop-up will occur indicating this to
the driver (AutoWake will remain in this state).
Static AutoWake Achieved: This will occur when:
•AutoWake is turned on
•Actual speed is less than 3mph
•Boat is turned on
•Pitch, roll and amplitude values match their respective setpoints.
If pitch or roll setpoints cannot be achieved, a pop-up will occur indicating this to the driver
and AutoWake will remain in Static AutoWake Active state. If pitch and roll are achieved
and amplitude is as close as possible to setpoint, the AutoWake system will go to this state.
AutoWake settings can be found in the Vessel Settings menu.
Ballast
When the AutoWake is turned off, the Ballast portion of the main
screen appears as shown on the right. To view the Ballast settings,

1715055 19 2017-08-30
press the fifth (last) display button on the unit when on the Home screen. The following
screen will appear:
This screen retrieves information from the PDM
regarding the amount of fluid in each ballast,
along with the position of the Port and
Starboard plates and the SmartPlate™.
Display key 1 turns On/Off the ZeroOff Cruise
System and activates the AutoWake system.
Display key 3 displays the Settings Menu.
Display key 5 displays the Map facility (when an
active Maps card is installed) or the Home
screen (when an active Maps card is NOT
installed).

1715055 20 2017-08-30
Maps (Optional)
From the Ballast screen, press the fifth (last) display
button below the icon and the Maps screen will
appear as shown on the right.
NOTE: The Maps feature is optional. Please
contact your dealer for details.
The Maps screen shows your position with a red
square. Navigate by pressing the display key under
the Menu Bar options, which change according to the
screen displayed and actions chosen.
