For over twenty five years, PerfectPass has been 100% committed to the water sports industry. Over this period there have been other speed control manufacturers that have come and gone while others try to offer a cheaper “knock off” version that just does not measure up.
In 2019, PerfectPass totally reimagined, redesigned and simplified the GPS Star Gazer Wake Edition for most Yamaha Sport Boats.
Can PerfectPass be installed on older boats is a common question we often get… and the answer is YES. Bill G. from Wisconsin recently purchased a Star Gazer Wake Edition S for his 1964 Ski Nautique. It required a little extra effort to install but Bill reported yesterday that all is well and stated:
YES, in fact PerfectPass was invented on a carbureted Moomba Boat. We have customers with boats as old as 40 years running PerfectPass every day.
PerfectPass systems have been installed on thousands of stern drives with Mercruiser and Volvo engines. Most engines built up to 2015 are compatible; contact us for more details.
The accuracy of GPS is incomparable. Star Gazer is 100% accurate, the speed signal is smoother and simply provides a better riding and driving experience. In addition, you don’t need to worry about bending paddle impellers on your trailer / boat lift, etc. And it’s mostly plug & play.
If you are using the system in a course and ski shortline (15 off or deeper) we highly recommend the Star Gazer Three Event. The hardware for both systems is identical, but the Three Event software is more sophisticated and is designed for serious skiing and amazing segment times. The Three Event features GPS Course Timing as well as Wakeboard and Trick Modes for your other water sports fun.
If you like to open water ski and rarely use a course, the Star Gazer Wake Edition has an easy to use GPS Slalom Mode.
If you have a 2012 or newer model with the side wall mounted “APS Units” the system is very easy to install. With a Rider behind, the speed will be controlled within a few 10ths of a MPH.
