I'm curious to know if Smart Tow can be added to my 2008 H240 when it didn't come with the boat originally? The more waterskiing we're doing the more advantageous it looks. I've read good things about it. Anyone done this after the fact like I'm considering?

The boat has a MerCruiser 350 Mag MPI, but I suspect DTS (Direct Throttle Shift) is another option I'd need? Trying to determine if it's worth all the cost to upgrade or to put on my wish list for the next boat...

Thanks

Have you looked into Perfect Pass?? Do a search, there are at least two other users on this site, and two of us even have threads on installation! At $1200, it was a little pricy, but the GF absolutely loves it when she drives!

Funny you mentioned that. I think it's actually cheaper by a factor of x3 for me to go with Perfect Pass, vs Smart Tow as an adder on option even though I own a MerCruiser. I'm looking into the PerfactPass StarGazer system now. Looks like something I can probably install myself in about 3 hours. For the amateur wakeboard, waterskiier like me; looks like about all I'd need. I've heard they may be temptermental with the pro sloalom skiers with magnets on boeys and such, but we're nowhere near that sophisticated... :wink:

I'm one of them. The Stargazer is supposed to be pretty sweet. I have the Wakeboard Pro edition that uses the paddlewheel sensor instead of GPS. Stargazer should be a MUCH easier DIY install since it involves no cutting of the hull.

Yeah... Look at Pet's thread on his PP install, then look at mine for stargazer (Search "Walt's Mod's"). I know I took the full day installing all the mods I had planned. PP was probably about 3-4 hrs of that. If you have any other questions, shoot 'em out too us.. I'm sure others on the forum would like to hear. Keep in mind, ours are also about the same year and engine as yours! The only thing you will need to find out is the speedo/gage diameter size and bezel color.
