Wakeboat hull control systems and methods

This invention describes a system that helps a wakeboat maintain its desired heading. It uses sensors, such as accelerometers, to detect how much the boat is turning (its yaw angle). Based on these measurements, the system automatically adjusts the boat's hull using control devices, specifically mentioning a pivoting plate at the back of the boat, to correct its course.

Why it matters: Since 2017, advancements in sensor fusion algorithms and embedded processing power have made it significantly easier and more accurate to derive precise yaw angle measurements from multiple sensors, including accelerometers, and implement sophisticated real-time control. This reduces the complexity and cost of building such a system.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: ModerateSoftware logic, accelerometers, pivoting plate, actuators.
