SURF STAR SYSTEM
Models
The Surf Star System is an optional feature for NXT, XT, X, and X
Star models. On X and XT models, the Surf Star System includes
an enhanced screen interface. See the chapters of this manual
dealing with X and XT screen operations for more information.
Purpose
The Surf Star System gives the operator precise control over the
dimensions of the boat’s surf wave. Using the dashboard screen or
the helm-mounted switchpack, the operator may set and modify
the amplitude of the surf wave created by the boat’s wake shaping
devices. This allows the operator to program a surf wave matching
the style, skill-level, and/or preferences of the rider.
The Surf Star System uses stainless steel surf tabs to create
powerful waves. This is made possible by the electrical feedback
configuration of the Surf Star System. In response to user
commands, the dash screen signals the PDMs (Power Distribution
Modules), electronic devices which distribute electrical power
to connected systems. With the power supplied by the PDMs,
the transom-mounted electro-hydraulic actuators drive the surf
tabs into deployment. The resulting displacement influences and
modifies the amplitude of the boat’s surf wave.
Using the Surf Star System, the operator may deploy tabs at
different angles to create waves of varying type. This gives the
operator a wide range of control over wave amplitude. Mellower
waves are created by deploying the tab further into the water on
one side of the boat, and steeper waves by retracting the tab.
Location
The surf tabs and actuators—also known as wake shaping
devices—are installed on the port and starboard sides of the
transom, beneath the swim platform. An additional center tab is
also present. Tabs may be controlled using the helm-mounted
switchpack or the dash screen video display.
In addition to transom-mounted tabs and actuators, the Surf
Star System also features two extra ballast bags. These bags
reside in the port/starboard aft sundeck compartments. New
users are encouraged to receive instructions from an authorized
MasterCraft dealer when uninstalling, reinstalling, or winterizing
ballast bags and related devices, though walkthroughs may be
found within the “Care and Maintenance” section of this manual.
