weird surf tab issue X20

^ Gotcha.

I had noticed on my 18 with dual screen, that if I changed it with the manual switches, it would default back to profile settings. However, if I used the screen to modify from profile settings, it would keep the manually entered settings until the profile is deactivated.

Was hoping that would help you, but I didn't realize you had the small screen.

Interesting. It would seem like manual system has same behavior regardless of screen.

I would guess that Touch screen changes are held in memory so you can save them. Small screen no saving = no memory.

Manual switches. Small screen doesn't have touch tab controls.

According to dealer: When accelerating the system always reverts to selected profile. Making changes to profiles has to happen after boat is up to speed. When decelerating system also reverts to selected profile. Not sure if this only true for 2018 or all small screens? Is this common knowledge? Seems like something that owners would like to know!

He suggested using manual mode (no profile) to set speed and tabs. It won't reset unless you turn off engine.

Hope to hear from other small screen owners. Should have picked a better name for this post.

That is interesting that the manual profile setting may work the way you want it to.

On a side note, I wish that MC would change the way the software worked. I think that when a user tweaks the profile it should remember that setting (and not reset) unless the user hits a reset button. This is how the Nautique software works. It just shows a flag on the screen saying you have modified the profile. Adding this code to the software would make the small screen much more functional.

Now that I've figured the small screen out I like how it is set-up. If I am towing someone and want to tweak shape I use a stock setting and make changes during run. That way I can see effect as I adjust. The fact that is goes back to stock after run is not a bad starting point for comparison. Stock settings on my boat are really nice with speed bumped up. If I have a custom setting I want to use, I just manually set it before getting in water (motor needs to be running). Setting will stay as long as engine is on. I don't have to worry about it until I'm back in boat.

This was a frustrating issue until until I learned how it worked. Knowledge = happiness.
