Holeshot mode is a semi-automatic mode designed to get your boat up on plane quickly, with a minimum of operator involvement. It allows you to keep your focus on the water ahead of you and the safe operation of your boat. When activated, Holeshot mode simplifies getting on plane. It will automatically deploy the trim tabs when it detects a Holeshot (a minimum engine RPM is reached), then retract them to the Adaptive Cruising Favorite set-point as speed increases and the boat gets on plane. To perform a Holeshot: Trim your outboard or sterndrive as you normally would for launch. Press the Favorite button (see figure 14-10). ✓ The system status indicator (see figure 14-10) will light up magenta or lime green. Magenta indicates that SOG is used to control deployment, while lime green indicates RPM is used. Increase throttle to your normal launch RPM. ✓ The Adaptive Trim Tab System manages tab deployment to get you up on plane quickly. Manually adjust engine trim and trim tabs as necessary for the conditions. WARNING! If sea conditions have changed since the last Adaptive Cruising Favorite set-point was stored, the trim position may be unsuitable, and could potentially put the boat in a poor attitude for the conditions. Trim the tabs manually in this case. Always use your best judgment before activating Holeshot mode. NOTE: Planing time limit When RPM is used to control the tab deployment (i.e. no SOG source), there is a time limit between activation and when you must initiate the holeshot (by throttling up). The default limit is 15 seconds. NOTE: Holeshot performance The performance of holeshot mode is sensitive to tab size, system tuning, and throttle application. If holeshot performance is unsatisfactory, contact your dealer for assistance. NOTE If you cannot activate Holeshot mode: • Your boat may not have an engine RPM or GPS speed-over-ground source. • Holeshot mode may be disabled. • Check that at least one engine is running, no engines are in reverse gear, and that an Optimus joystick (if equipped) is not active. NOTE: Holeshot automatic deactivation If Holeshot mode is activated, it will automatically deactivate when: • all engines are switched off • any engine is shifted into reverse • an Optimus joystick is activated Holeshot mode will automatically reactivate when at least one engine is running, no engines are in reverse, and the joystick is not active.
