SUPRA BOATS - AUSTRALIA FACTORY

Are you aware that the Moomba wakeplate system has some new user-friendly functionality for 2014?  Moomba's wakeplate now has performance logic built into it, so that the driver does not have to adjust the plate as often.   Actually, truth be told, the wakeplate itself is the same.  The performance change is controlled by the new Digital Cruise Pro II system on the dash.

For starters, the wakeplate now automatically drops down to 100% deflection when you stop the boat.  This helps the boat plane off faster when you go to accelerate again. 
If your speed control is off, then the plate re-sets to a 50% deflection when the boat accelerates faster than 15 mph.
If your speed control is on, then the plate re-sets to a 50% delfection when you accelerate past 50% of your SET speed. 
For instance, if you are wakeboarding at a 22 mph set speed, then the wakeplate will automatically re-set at 11 mph.  If you are surfing at a 10 mph set speed, then it will reset at 5 mph.      

The wakeplate function is not programmable, but it does have a memory.   If the driver adjusts the wakeplate while  operating the boat, say from 50% to 30%, then it will continue to re-set to 30% every time the boat accelerates, until the boat is keyed off.    Once the boat is keyed off, then on again, it automatically resets to the 50% deflection level once it crosses the speed adjustment threshold. 

This new auto wakeplate functionality applies to all M Series Moomba models:  Mondo, Mobius LSV, and Mojo 2.5.  It is not available on the Outback V. 

For a little background information on wakeplate performance, the wakeplate has two main functions.  1) In the down position, it helps the boat get on plane faster.  It does this by adding "Hook" to the back of the boat. Hook drives the nose of the boat down, and lifts the rear of the boat, resulting in faster acceleration.    2) Once the boat is on plane, the wakeplate give the user the ability to adjust the bow attitude of the boat.  This also changes the shape of the wakes.  Generally, when the wakeplate is up,  the bow is up (stern is down).  This tends to allow the wakes to come up to their maximum size, or steeper shaped on the ramp of the wake.     When the wakeplate is down, the bow is down (stern is lifted).  This tends to flatten or soften the wakes.  It is best to be familiar with all of the variations of wakeplate settings of each Moomba model, and how they can change with various speeds, ballast, and people in the boat.  if you ever experience a bouncing feeling in the bow (a condition called porpoising) a simple tap downward on the wakeplate will stop that.  If it does not stop it, then there is too much weight towards the stern of the boat.
