Wow, thx @skiinxs. That's helpful. Why don't they put this information in the owner's manual? I'm unsure if it's an important feature, but it would be nice if they communicated their features somewhere.

Thx @Jody_Seal and all for your help. I successfully mapped the jump course and everything worked as expected. I still don't know why the switch and speed control wasn't working during my last outing, but everything seems to be working now. I'm still unclear how RopeSW TIMEOUT works and it's purpose. Thx

@Jody_Sealthx for the response. So, in this example, the system will only apply throttle (gas) for 1.8 seconds upon switch engagement? If so, this is not why my switch/system isn't engaging and providing throttle. Lastly, should RopeSW be set to zero? Thx for your help.

What does "RopeSW TIMEOUT" do? Since it's small increments, I doubt it's the cause of my switch issue, but it would be good to know. Thx

Thx for all your help. I just contacted ZO support, and they said I should see dollar signs $$$ when the switch is engaging. Apparently, this can be tested at the dock with the motor running by either pulling on the rope or using a paper clip across the contact points. I'll give this a try and we'll see what happens. I'll also map the course for good measure. I know it's not necessary, but I want it mapped for RTB and fast second.

I'm hoping y'all can help with a Zero Off (Jump) issue. Problem - when in Jump mode, the switch is not engaging. The speed control may not be engaging either? This is a new issue, it worked the last time I used the boat at this lake. Boat and ZO - The boat is a repowered 2002 SN 196 with a 3-event ZO kit (software/firmware is current). Doug Moss did the work, so we know it's solid. Issue - I recently updated some settings, and now Jump mode isn't working correctly. My biggest issue is that the jump switch isn't engaging. I was poking around within the profile settings, which may have created the issue? I also mapped the slalom course, but I doubt that's related to this issue. Set up - The jump course isn't mapped, since I'm unsure if the boat path buoys are the correct distance up/down (North/South) course. Their distance perpendicular to the ramp is good. Solution - If a soft or hard system reset will solve the issue, I'm open to trying it. I didn't set up the system or install the system, so I don't know what config is required after a reset. Thx in advance for your help.

Will someone please give Joel a ride to Start Haus in Truckee, CA. It's a proper alpine/downhill ski shop specializing in ski racing. One of the owners is a water skier, and I'm sure he'll replace those pipe clamps with alpine ski boot buckles. Despite the sponsorship opportunity, it's 2023 and there's no need for a Dewalt drill to get in and out of a boot.

Congrats all, what a great event. The crew at California Ski Ranch is the best. Incredible lake and a great vibe.

D3 Neo2 This ski rips. Turns well and has amazing cross-course speed.

@Hucklefin I use a Ski Doc pylon mount with a moderate level of in-camera stabilization (aka HyperSmooth) and GoPro HERO11 Black or HERO10 Black. Camera stabilization is the key high-quality footage. It's a couple years old, but this video clearly demonstrates how well GoPro stabilization works - jump to time stamp 1:30. Note, as more stabilization is applied, the FOV (field of view) is reduced. Meaning, more stablization = more cropping. Which is why I don't apply the highest level of stabilization. As for pylon mounts, I prefer the Wakeye. Unfortunately, they aren't available anymore.

That was a fun show to watch. Congrats all.

@03RLXi There's no need to wait until ski season. Test it in your car and see how it works. Have fun.

@BGrow76Yes. To activate the speed trigger command, you need to scan the QR code after powering on the camera. I bookmark the URL in my browser and scan it. It's really easy. Alternatively, you can print the QR code and scan it, which works better in direct sunlight.

Hey @SlalomSteven I don't have anything new to report, but I did create a doc to help inform folks like you. There are a few critical settings that must be followed, like Screen Auto off, GPS, Repeat commend and Camera auto off. Also, you don't want to use "set date and time automatically", that's for another purpose. The data and time on your camera should be set automatically when paired to the GoPro Quik app, so you should be good. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Q9n76tuTqR5B3-KAaBUY0XBo1Qybe1d7HXowh9fCYQM/edit?usp=sharing

I just went through this same experience. It's very confusing. The rule and cut-off date are extremely ambiguous, but I (too) qualified by skiing one score higher than the Level 8 cut-off. If you look at the national rankings list and poke around enough at others' scores, you'll see how skiers like me (mike maxson M4) qualify with a single score vs raising our averages above the cut-off. Congrats!
