Perfect Pass cost

The PP in our '92 just died on us. I was told, from PP directly, a replacement unit would cost about $500.

Price was for a new display unit and new brain. The only other piece our current system has is little box that reads the magnets next to the driver's seat. Is there anything else in the system I'm missing?

I forgot the mention the servo motor assembly.


From the original email with PP:

"$394 basically gets you a New Display AND a new DigitalPro Master Module. (All your other components are used)"

I guess the Smart Timer MAG Sensor and servo assembly make up the rest of the system? There's no paddle wheel or GPS in my current PP set-up.

...placed magnets....

Link to PP web site (speed control page). Current version is GPS based. $1,195.

Jody, over 12 thousand for Stargazer? No wonder you get those new boats every year!

My '98 had the earlier rpm based PP, didn't work very well for me. I upgraded to gps based, was around $550 three years ago if I remember correctly. The installed servo is fine for the upgrade.

OK, Im a little confused on the difference in the 3 event and wake edition?

"Designed for very serious course skiers and available on inboard ski boats only (Slalom, Trick, Jump & Wakeboard modes). Includes "All Buoy No Magnet Timing" feature. Those slalom skiers just looking for simplicity and a great pull should consider the Star Gazer Wake Edition S. Now featuring "No Mag Timing"

Sounds like both are adequate for course skiing, and neither require magnets? Is the wake addition more user friendly? Whats the difference besides price? I do some trick skiing too and assume its only a matter before my kids discover wake boarding. Not sure which would be the best one for my needs.

Then, is zero off a better way to go? Looks to cost maybe a little more.

I was just about to ask that. Can someone confirm if there are extra costs for zero off? The kit doesn't look that much more but any other modifications needed?

That's Correct ZO will not work on anything Ford or Non Drive by wire PCM Chevrolet with out conversion.
Common cost on a 02-06 Excalibur conversion with ZO will run between $3800-$4500 Depending on year and boat model.

Nice thing about Re-power from PCM is that they actually have conversion parts to stick the Excalibur right in the same holes as where the PCM Ford came out of and plug and play accouterments to coexist with previously Non EFI Boats and run ZO.
In the last 5 years We at Florida Inboards have done many Excalibur Re-powers and lots of conversions.

FYI A repower and ZO will set one back around $10K when it is all said and done. Still cheaper then a $$$$$$new Seventy thousand dollar skiboat !!!!!

What ever I can get for them. In reality they are not worth what they should be worth as a complete unit. they are worth more in parts.

If you go with Stargazer Wake, I think there's a software stick that lets you upgrade to Three Event.

If you have the three even Stargazer, you can do a system reset, and restart as Wake Edition if you want. Doing that removes the Jump and Trick Modes. I found it simpler to run it as Wake Edition since I don't use those extra modes.
