Other Water Sports
TAPS² also dramatically enhances wake characteristics
for air chairs, barefooting, kneeboarding and towables.
Experiment with different settings, have a great time, but
be safe!
Helpful Hint
For best ride and performance, use the extreme slalom
setting (1) only when pulling up a skier or boarder or at
towing speeds under 24 MPH. At speeds greater than 24
MPH, adjust TAPS² to a setting more conducive to the
water conditions.
Ride, Safety and Boat Performance
The variable-hull TAPS² system also dramatically enhances
boat performance, comfort and safety. To eliminate bow
rise on take-off, set TAPS² at 1. As soon as the boat reaches
planing speed, adjust TAPS² to 3 or higher, depending on
water conditions. If the water is choppy, less than 6 in.
(152.4 mm) waves, the optimum ride setting will be from 2
to 5, depending on Tigé model and passenger load. If the
water is rougher, 6 to 12 in. (152.4 to 304.8 mm) waves,
the optimum ride setting will be from 5 to 8, depending on
Tigé model and passenger load.
Raising the bow in rougher water will provide a safer, drier
ride while maximizing the hull’s “entry vee” to reduce the
effects of the chop. This higher running attitude will also
provide bow passengers with a smoother, drier ride.
OPERATION
SECTION 4
4-13
To maximize top speed in your Tigé, set TAPS² between 5
and 8. When the boat reaches top speed, bring the TAPS²
setting down slightly to achieve the optimum running
attitude. Top speed should be achieved at a TAPS² setting
of 5 to 6.
TIGÉ SPEEDSET CRUISE CONTROL OPERATIONS
(For boats with TouchScreen: See Touch2 Manual)
Available as an option on all Tigé models, Tigé SpeedSet
allows precise, easy-to-use digital speed control that is
useful in towing wakeboarders and skiers or maintaining
a constant cruising speed. The SpeedSet control panel
incorporates Touchpad Recognition for easy fingertip use
without taking your eyes off the waterway. Raised, domed
buttons are scaled to the human hand and positioned to
allow for two-finger touch operation while you safely pay
attention to your rider or skier and other boat traffic.
Before using Tigé SpeedSet take time to familiarize yourself
with the system and its operations.
The system will only operate when the dash CRUISE
CONTROL switch is toggled ON. If this switch is toggled
OFF during SpeedSet operation, the system will disengage
as soon as the throttle is brought back below the set point.
Tigé SpeedSet resets each time the CRUISE CONTROL
switch is manually toggled off and the throttle arm is
brought below the set position.
