Perfect Pass "Basic Cruise"?

[jroberts]

I just purchased an '06 22SSV that has the Perfect Pass "Basic Cruise". I had the PP Wakeboard pro on another boat, and loved it. I'm still trying to figure out this Basic model, and whether it will work for me. I took it out for the first time on Friday, and although it holds well once it gets to speed, from a stop it is terrible. It stutters and cuts in and out in a way that would make it very difficult for a novice boarder to get up. Anyone know anything about these?

Is your boat Drive By Wire or is the throttle cable driven?

Thanks for the reply.
I'm pretty sure that it is throttle cable driven. I left the boat at the lake 4 hours away, and will need to take a closer look next time that I am there. I talked with PP today, and the very helpful gentleman seemed surprised that this particular year and model of boat only had the basic cruise, and then talked about it as if he assumed there was a cable involved. The upgrade is $654 plus shipping. Assuming that it is throttle and servo, do you know of anything quick that I could try to fix it?

I have an 06 21v I just remove servo and module and upgraded to stargazer dbw. From what I understand 06 was a crossover year in which some were controlled by servo motor and others dbw, but all have the capability. I have only had the boat out twice since install but am amazed by the results. If you can I would upgrade to gps with gps you will not be disappointed. Easy install. Good luck

Yes, I will probably upgrade either to the Wakeboard Pro (paddlewheel) or Stargazer. I'm going out over Memorial Day however, and won't have a chance to upgrade before then, so I'm wondering if there is something simple that could either diagnose or even resolve the problem.

So, just out of curiosity, does it surge when you're idling in gear and then hit the throttle with PP on? If PP is off does it surge when you hit the throttle?
