Smart Tow offers five factory preset launch profiles, or the operator can create new custom launch profiles. Custom profiles are
helpful when there are people onboard with varying levels of experience with watersports equipment. The operator can create
more aggressive launches for experienced skiers, as well as milder launches for children, or towing inflatables.

Factory preset profiles
There are five selection fields within a profile. Use the arrow buttons and the enter button to change the profile selections.
•
Set point is the RPM or speed. The operator can adjust the RPM or speed in the data screen area.
•
Ramp is the time that the boat will take to get to the set point.
•
Overshoot is the percentage over the set point the boat will achieve.
•
Overshoot duration is the length of time that the boat will remain above the set point.
After making adjustments to the desired settings, select NEXT in the data area footer. This will take the operator to the
keyboard screen, to name and save to the profiles list. Name the profile and select the enter key to add the new profile to the
list.
Enable or disable turns the feature on or off. The RPM sweeps will be displayed as nonactive white sweeps when disabled. The
RPM sweeps will be displayed as active orange sweeps when enabled. The operator can modify all settings when Smart Tow
is in the off—disabled state.
Select SAVE. Save will modify the Smart Tow screen to allow the operator to choose quick save, save as new, create custom,
or delete the profile.
If the operator presses on the X, Smart Tow is disabled and the constant and user‑selected data area returns to the default
screen.
Enabling Smart Tow
To activate Smart Tow, select a preset launch profile or a custom‑made profile. When the vessel and person being towed are
ready, place the throttle lever in the full throttle position. Smart Tow will begin the launch profile. A moving dot will move along
the profile path, indicating the current progress of the launch profile.
1. Enable—on, is green when ready
2. Disable—off, is red when not active
The boat will continue at the set RPM or speed target until disable is selected, or until the operator moves the throttle lever to
the idle position.
Smart Tow Targets
Smart Tow will modify the constant data area by incorporating RPM and overshoot indicators within the RPM sweeps. The
RPM set point target will be the color orange and the overshoot scale will be the color white.
