Cruise control

[Jeff85]

Anyone know what my options are for cruise? I have a 14 gts187 250hp with the brp 4 tec. I was hoping something plug and play that sea do had/has. Thanks for any help!

Does your boat have the ITC (Intelligent Throttle Control) There was a thread in the Scarab section I think, someone added the plugin module from the BRP PWC's to enable cruise / ski mode but I don't think it worked. Not sure if they needed the dealer or CanDoo to turn the option on.

What's the best way to know if my boat has itc?

I'm assuming it does, is there a throttle cable from the helm to the motor, or does the throttle cable go to a "device" under the console.

So I'm pretty sure all the boats have itc, but looks like the "options" are limited. Found a thread on greenhill about how to add ski mode / cruise to any ski, it might be worth a read. I'm surprised the boat brands are not offering the add on module at a usually high "boat" price.

Thanks! Have a link to where you found the info?

Here's the link, I was looking at the Glastron and they use different gauges then the other brp powered boats I've seen. Does your boat have a mode and set button? Do you have eco mode or docking mode? Can you change the small digital display?

This is a pic of my gauges. The buttons are basically backward and forward to toggle the small display to show depth/speed/rpm/temp digitally .

Since they are using "custom" gauges, and looks like they have it setup to go thru the display options with the toggle to go forward / back. Given that I'm not sure if you'll be able to add the cruise module. Looks like you would need to add the mode / set etc buttons. Have you contacted Glastron to see if they offer an upgrade?

Nope, but I will
