Aquaddiction Posted June 3, 2021 Report Share Posted June 3, 2021 for some reason my GSA tabs are not fully deploying. Once they activate with the wakesurf function, I have to manually bump them to clean up the wave. When I start the boat, I let it cycle through the functions before I start (I have been told that may be the issue) however it still does not work. has anyone else run into this??? thanks for any suggestions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CFM56-7 Posted June 4, 2021 Report Share Posted June 4, 2021 Have you had the software update done? New software fully deploys the surf tab while stopped as soon as you select the wakesurf mode. You'll never deal with inconsistent deployment again. I quit burning through actuators when my software was updated too. CFM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope to hear back soon if an update is available Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birddog7.62 Posted June 5, 2021 Report Share Posted June 5, 2021 I have a 2018, do I need to update my software? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrangeTJ Posted June 9, 2021 Report Share Posted June 9, 2021 In the meantime, you could temporarily fix the end result of the problem by changing the position of the pin where the actuator attaches to the plate. Just set it so the tab starts from a lower position in the first place. Aquaddiction 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CFM56-7 Posted June 16, 2021 Report Share Posted June 16, 2021 Not sure if you heard back from your dealer yet or not, but I just checked mine. My software is dated 5/9/2017 compared to your 8/21/2014 version. Hope you get it sorted! CFM Aquaddiction 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just set it so the tab starts from a lower position in the first place. The tab isn't fully deploying because the actuator is reaching its maximum force limit and shutting down before reaching full extension. If you start with the tab in a lower position, you are ultimately requesting the tab to deploy further, and will reach the actuator force limit sooner. This won't help his situation.... If anything, raise the position of the tab when retracted so the actuator can more consistently drive the tab down to a fixed position. Consistent deployment is key to getting a good wave. Or update the software and be done with it. CFM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarylB Posted July 29, 2021 Report Share Posted July 29, 2021 Did you you get the software updated? Did it fix the problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquaddiction Posted August 8, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2021 for now I moved the tabs to a different hole on the tabs. It is working fine for now..... I will probably take it to the dealer in the offseason for troubleshooting. DarylB 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
