REGAL V6-240 Water Sports Control Boat
Water Sports Control
The Water Sports Control (WSC) system provides a single control unit for boat
equipment that is used to fine-tune the boat’s performance, ride, and wake
during water sports activities. The system controls boat speed, trim tab
deployment, drive trim angle, and ballast tank levels1.
Groups of settings can also be saved to provide quick return to boat settings
that provided the wanted wake. This helps with repeatability of wakes for
future boating sessions.
CAUTION! Whenever possible make setting changes to the system while the
boat is stationary. If setting changes are made when the boat is underway the
operator must remain in full control of the boat, including keeping a watch
for other boats, people, or obstacles in the boat’s path.
CAUTION! The operator should be prepared for changes to the boats
steering and handling that may happen when the setting changes are activated.

of the boat.
On the active selection, the blue light is lit.

when the engine is turned off.

Ballast tanks
This parameter is not available on all systems.
The system controls the pumps that are used to fill or drain the ballast
tanks. The display shows up to three ballast tanks, only the number of tanks
that are connected to the system are displayed.
The graph shows the fill level of each tank.
The tank fill levels can be adjusted to control the size and shape of the
boat’s wake.
Tank Controls
Select the Tank Controls button. On the Ballast Tanks screen; Use the + or –
buttons to adjust individual tank levels.
Stop – ceases all tank fill/drain actions.
Fill All – operates the pumps to fill all tanks. Drain All – operates the
pumps to drain all tanks.
F actory presets
Tank fill rates/times are preset at the boat manufacturer. They can be changed
by the owner if conditions have changed and the tanks are not filling or
draining properly.
NOTE: Do not use long fill or drain times, this might damage the pumps.
User
You can set and name three groups of settings, to return easily to settings
that provided a particular wake or ride. When you have adjusted the settings
for all four parameters and want to save them for future use, hold one of the
User buttons, until the light is lit. If that User button already has settings
saved you will get an over-ride message; Overwrite this preset. Select Yes. If
a User is active the blue light is lit. You can rename the Users, see the Menu
below.
Menu
Several customizations are possible for the Water Sports program.
Select Menu > Water Sports
Speed Source
Options are Speed and RPM. Speed is required for full Water Sports Control functionality. If RPM is selected, only engine RPM and power trim angle can be set. Installation There are two selections; Tank Fill and Tank Drain. These tank times are preset at the factory. The setting can be adjusted if the pre- set times are not adequate. This can also be used to adjust for weakening pumps or for replacement pumps which may have different capacities.
Boat Load
The boatload setting is used to compensate for any additional large load that
is placed in the boat. Normally this setting is not used (set at 0%). However,
if you install a heavy third party tank system or the installed tanks are very
large, use this setting to compensate for the change in load. Adjust the
slider to a value above 0% to approximate the new load. Use the Up or Down
buttons to move the slider. This information helps the system adjust throttle
response on take-off to compensate for the load condition.
NOTICE! Never exceed the eight limit posted by the boat manufacturer.
NOTICE! See the section Static Water Line in the engine’s operator’s
manual before loading the boat.
Manage Users
This is where you can customize the names for the Users. Use the arrows to scroll through the Users. At the desired User select Rename. The next screen (Preset Name) provides options for renaming. Select Done when finished. Reset – sets the name and the parameters on the selected User to the factory default. Reset All – resets the names and the parameters of all Users to the factory default.
Trim Assist
This feature uses trim tab employment to improve the boat launch from
stationary to planning or water sports speed. The settings are done by the
factory. The selection here is On or Off.
Operation
CAUTION Whenever possible make setting changes to the system while the boat is stationary. If setting changes are made when the boat is underway the operator must remain in full control of the boat, including keeping a watch for other boats, people, or obstacles in the boat’s path.
CAUTION!
The operator should be prepared for changes to the boats steering and
handling that may happen when the setting changes are activated.
After you have selected a User or manually entered settings, move the control
lever in to the throttle position, the WSC system will maintain the settings
you have selected.
Settings can be adjusted while underway, however remember that WSC only works
at 14 mph and below.
Trim Assist helps the boat launch easier. It is activated when you select WSC
or when you select PTA on the shifter. To use Trim Assist, it must be set to
On in the Menu, see above.
At slow speeds, if Trim Assist is active, the trim tabs are down. If you are
in reverse gear and throttle is above 10% Trim Assist is overridden and the
tabs are retracted. Surf right or left also overrides the Trim Assist. PTA
(power trim assist) operates at speeds above the Water Sports limit. If it is
activated the yellow PTA light is shown on top of the display. PTA on is also
a way to activate Trim Assist.
The trim tabs are retracted when you turn the engine off. For all selections a
blue light indicates the feature is active.
A blinking blue light indicates the selected feature is not fully functioning.
An example is a blinking blue light for a User, if Speed Source is set at RPM,
the GPS (Speed) is not active and the User presets cannot be used (one
parameter is Speed).To exit WSC return to idle or low speed and select WSC
icon. Gray here indicates WSC is not active.
