on 8/8/2006 So you won't over shoot your target speed, learn what RPM is indicated on your tachometer for a desired speed. When you pick your skier up, head for that RPM. The boat will eventually plane out and you're speed will be just about right.If your engine is small, or your skier heavy, and you must use full throttle to get the skier out, head for the target RPM smoothly as soon as they're up. If you pull the throttle back too quickly, you risk undershooting your target and giving the skier slack rope.
