Below are some possible conditions and solutions.  

COndITIOn   

SOlUTIOn

Unit will not turn on.

Unit turns on, but 
boat volume does not 
change when boat 
pulls a rider and lEd 
does not flash.

lEd flashes when 
boat pulls a rider, but 
stereo volume does 
not increase. 

Volume is slow to 
return to normal 
volume when boat 
slows down.

Boat stereo volume is 
increased when boat 
is not pulling a rider.

NOTe:

    the  Boost  Box  is  intended  for  use  controlling  the  boat 

stereo  when  pulling  waterskiers,  wakeboarders,  or  wakesurfers.  

Because the Boost Box works by sensing the boat’s acceleration 

and  deceleration,  it  may  turn  down  inadvertently  if  used  during 

aggressive deceleration when towing tube riders.  this is normal 

and is a limitation of the system.

If you are still having trouble with your Boost Box, please call 
Watersport Innovations technical support at (808) 809-9909 
or send an email to:

Check  to  ensure  Power  Cable  is  firmly 
plugged into Control Unit.  Ensure power 
cable  is  properly  wired  to  battery’s  12-
volt DC power.

The  Control  Unit  is  not  sensing  the 
boat’s acceleration.  It is either mounted 
improperly  (see  pages  2-3,  Installation) 
or  needs  to  be  re-calibrated.    To  re-
calibrate,  wait  until  the  boat  is  in 
relatively  flat  water  (no  rolling  waves) 
and turn the unit off and back on.

Ensure Stereo Control Cable is installed 
correctly.  Check the connection to the 
Control Unit, and ensure the male end of 
the Control Cable is firmly plugged into 
the stereo.

Unit  may  need  to  be  re-calibrated.  Turn 
the unit off and back on.

  This should be 

necessary only if the unit was turned on in 
rough water or if the boat’s load changes 
significantly (loading fat-sacks, etc.).
