Can you order a module or something to upgrade the computer system to have ski mode like the PWC,s ?

My 2012 Speedster 150 has a Ski mode.

How did you get into ski mode.  I see the light on the dash when I turn the key on and everything is initializing, but cannot get to the ski mode.  it goes through docking, eco, cruise etc.

I want to figure out how to enable this mode on my boat. There are others on line that have had this mode inadvertently enabled on thier boats. My belief is this mode is solely a software enhancement, enabled through some obscured/hidden setting.

I will provide an update if I learn anything in my research on this.

Did you find any infomation of getting Ski mode to work???

[BigWayne]

Unfortunately, I can't find any information online. I am going to call my local dealer to see if there is anything they can enable within BUDS.

Stay tuned??

Yeah the 180 SP got ski mode but the challenger 180 didn't, There will be a way to enable it,

I'm certian there is a way to have it enabled on the '12 180. Unfortunately, my local dealer states his setup and diagnostic tools are unable to enable this mode.  I've heard of some owners  loosing ski mode on 180SE models after the first service. Therefore, if ski mode can be disabled by service, then it also means the mode can be re-enabled through some software interface available with the service groups.

Here's proof that it's possible...have to find out how its done.
