The main slalon screen is crisp and less cluttered |
Star Gazer is the next generation of our legendary DigitalPro platform. All new circuitry anchored by an extremely fast Arm 7 Processor combined with GPS Speed Correction delivers an unparalled skiing and driving experience.
No other project in our history has consumed as much engineering resources as Star Gazer. The goal from the outset was to stay with our RPM Based Slalom Mode simply because it is a smoother, far more forgiving pull than a pure speed based process. The challenge was to make it “smarter” so the driver could simply set the speed and go while the skier enjoyed the same familiar pull.
The end product is the result of integrating “speed overlay” using the boats existing digital paddle wheel calibrated multiple times a second for accuracy via a high speed GPS Receiver. This approach combined with sophisticated software running on the Arm 7 Processor actually produced a better pull and driving is incredibly simple.
From the driver’s seat, you will notice that the lcd screen layout is much cleaner. There is no skier weight, rpm adjust, etc. In addition, the slalom switch is no longer required.
Skiers have commented that at deep shortline, it just feels “softer” or “smoother”.
In addition to the new Slalom Mode, the system offers a Practice Mode where you can adjust the speed in smaller increments.
Star Gazer also features Two Timing Modes to choose from. The Classic Mode using 6 or 8 magnets is available or you can select the very accurate One Magnet Method, which requires just One Magnet at the entrance gate. This mode will produce full course and all buoy times.
In addition to Slalom, the Trick and Wakeboard Modes have been enhanced via a continuous calibration of the paddle wheel. Improved performance in the turns and “auto calibration” means your speed will always be accurate to 1/10 mph.
The World Record Jump Mode is unchanged for 2008.
Star Gazer is designed only for three event tournament boats and is available for new DBW engines as well as most mechanical engines produced since 1980.

Any PerfectPass customer with a DigitalPro System produced since 2000 (Mechanical or DBW) can upgrade to Star Gazer. In most cases, it is a quick 20 – 30 minute plug & play connection requiring a new Master Module and GPS Sensor.
Star Gazer requires a Multi Line Graphic Display. These have been produced by PerfectPass since July 2005. If you have an older single line Display, this will need to be upgraded.
Standard Upgrade (Master Module & GPS Receiver) $ 429 - $ 469 (Depending on boat)
In-Dash Display (Multi Line) $199 (If required)
