USER’S GUIDE
Section 1. GETTING STARTED
INITIAL SETUP - The display will guide you through this set up. Read slowly and carefully.
Your new PerfectPass system must now complete a short set up procedure to familiarize itself with
your particular boat and engine. (This may have been performed by your dealer if dealer installed)
Step (1) INITIAL HRS 000 You can enter the number of hours on your boat using the UP Key if you
wish to use the PerfectPass hour meter. Press Menu to proceed.
Step (2) The display will now show [read in MPH ^ = Yes]. It is asking you if you would like the display
to operate in mph. If you do, confirm by pressing the UP key. If you want kph press the
DOWN key. (We have selected mph for illustration purposes)
Step (3) [WAKE Edition ^ = Y/ v = 3-Event] The display will now ask if want the system to be a
WakeEdition or a 3-event Edition: For WakeEdition Press UP, for Three Event press DOWN.
Step (4) The display will now move into the AUTO CALIBRATE Slalom mode, described in the next
section.
GENERAL SYSTEM INTERFACE
The System will always be powered & screen active, even when in the OFF Mode.
Turn Control ON or OFF while boat is in neutral or at idle is recommended.
Engaging System- Once you select speed, simply throttle up smoothly and when the actual
speed reaches the set speed, PerfectPass will take over automatically and you will hear an
audible beep. (Do not over throttle)
Disengage System –Simply pull back on the throttle.
BUTTON USE
ON/Off is used to turn control ON or OFF while boat is at idle or in neutral.
The Menu Button is similar to a mouse, the Menu button moves the cursor around the
PerfectPass screen.
UP & DOWN buttons are used to change speeds, settings, etc.
Anytime you see the “^” used in a question such as “Read in MPH ^ = Yes” means press the
UP Button “^” to confirm. The UP Key means Yes.

Section 2. SLALOM MODE
SELECTING SLALOM MODE
There are several slalom modes to choose from:
-AUTOCAL –Slalom RPM Baselines MUST be calibrated for accuracy in this mode before skiing
-GPS Slalom (Official Slalom Speeds)
-Practice Slalom (Same as above but in between speeds available)
-Classic Slalom (Same as 2007 version, RPM Control only)
-Simple Slalom (A new simple to use GPS Slalom Mode for up to 28 off). No “AutoCal” calibration required.
Following calibration, to select the Slalom Mode of your choice (GPS Slalom for most users), simply
highlight the word SLALOM or AUTOCAL at the top of the page using the Menu Key, then press the UP
Key.
Each individual Slalom Speed MUST BE CALIBRATED for accuracy in the AUTOCAL MODE. (The
correct RPM must be set for each speed) Once calibrated, the calibration settings are transferred
automatically to the other slalom modes. Therefore you must CALIBRATE your system at each speed
in this mode before moving to GPS Slalom or Practice Slalom.See Page 4.
Crew Weight
Most users do not need to worry about using the Crew Weight feature. If you calibrate with a crew
of 2 people, then you should be fine leaving it at 0. If you wish to use Crew Weight, enter the weight
of the full crew before calibrating baselines. To access, highlight the word Slalom and press the
DOWN KEY.

Calibrating Baselines (AUTOCAL)
See AUTOCAL Video at www.perfectpass.com “Support”
No GPS connected or
“No Lock”
Set Point
In this screen, you can calibrate the RPM Baselines for all of the official Slalom speeds.
It automatically selects 34.2 mph to start (Although you can change it to 36 mph)
Step 1. In calm open water and ideally with two people on board, throttle up smoothly until system
beeps to engage. After a few seconds you will notice the digital speed settling towards the 34.2 mph
set point. Once locked at 34.2 it will “beep once”confirming the speed was successfully Calibrated.
Step 2. Once the first speed is calibrated, the set point automatically drops down to 32.3 mph. Once
again it will settle and “beep once” when Calibrated. It will then drop the speed and repeat.
If you allow the AUTO CAL to calibrate all speeds down to 24 mph, once complete it will switch over to
GPS Slalom from AUTO CAL Mode. Or you can stop anytime and switch to MAP COURSE or another
Mode.
In a longer lake you may be able to Calibrate all speeds in one pass. On shorter lakes simply stop at
the end and throttle back up and the AUTOCAL process will continue.
Once all speeds that you wish to Calibrate are complete, you are ready to MAP your Slalom Course so
timing will occur. Then select GPS Slalom, enter the Skier Size Letter and go skiing.
The system will permanently store these baseline settings, even when battery is turned off. The
AUTOCAL procedure should be repeated if the propeller is changed.
IMPORTANT:
1. After AUTOCAL is complete, you will need to “Map” your course so timing will occur. See
Page 7.
2. After “Mapping” is complete, switch to GPS Slalom Mode (O – No Skier Setting) and run a few
timing passes to ensure timing is active, control is smooth and times are near perfect. (See
course mapping video under “Support” at www.perfectpass.com).
3. Before skiing, enter a skier size letter (F, L, N, X).
You need to have “Mapped” the slalom course prior to using GPS Slalom in a course or timing will not
occur.

GPS SLALOM MODE
GPS Slalom Mode or Practice Mode are the most commonly used.
Set Speed Skier Size (N=Normal)
Course Time Actual Speed
Step.1 Select GPS SLALOM.
Step.2 Select Speed (Use Menu Key to highlight set point).
Step.3 Set Skier Size (ex: N) (Use Menu Key to highlight skier size).
Step 4 Tow Skier. (Pull skier up smoothly until engagement beep, do not over throttle in a short
set up).
TIMES - At the end of the course the full segment time will be on the screen. For mid course or “all
buoy” times, use Menu Key to highlight the time and press Down Key. (See Page 8).
SKIER SIZE –Remember in GPS Slalom or Practice Slalom, you must have a Skier Size Letter selected
(F,L,N,X) when towing a skier. To change letters, simply highlight the letter (Ex; N) and press the up
or down keys to make a change.
F FEATHER –For very small skiers.
L LIGHT –For skiers 120 –160 pounds
N NORMAL –160 –200 Pounds
X XLARGE –For 200 + pounds.
O No Skier timing check –For system testing, timing checks only.
PRACTICE MODE
In this mode, you can tweak the set speed so you can train at in-between speeds. (The pull and
system control is identical to GPS Slalom).
USING CLASSIC MODE
Use Menu Key to highlight the skier
size setting, press UP or DOWN to
change.

USING CLASSIC MODE - RPM Based (Non GPS Enhanced)
Step.1 Select speed and enter weight of crew. (Highlight slalom heading & press DOWN key).
Step.2 Enter the Skiers Weight on screen.
Step.3 Tow skier through course.
Step.4 At the end of course, review times and if slow or fast, use the RPM Adjust in upper left
hand corner to tweak speed. (ie: More rpm if slow, less if fast)
SIMPLE SLALOM
Slalom Mode
1. Select Simple Slalom Mode. Simply set your speed and go.
2. If you wish to time your passes in a slalom course, you must “MAP” the course.
3. You can select speeds in .6 mph (1.0 kph) increments. The official speeds in MPH are: 24.9,
26.7, 28.6, 30.4, 32.3, 34.2, 36.0
4. The only adjustment to the pull is a value called “Pull Factor” found by highlighting the Menu
Arrow > in upper right corner, then press UP KEY. The word SLALOM is now highlighted, press
DOWN KEY for “Pull Factor”. Standard is 50, a higher value is more aggressive. (Range is 25–
100). We do not expect that you will need to adjust this.
5. Timing –If you “MAP” your course, the screen will show your Ball 3 and full course times as
you exit the course.
