    I bought a 2015 FS33 last month and got to use it a few times before fall weather hit this year.  I am seeing a few strange issues with the touch screen control systems.  I'm guessing a firmware update might fix it, but haven't figured out if that is possible yet.  I have seen a bunch of people post that they "received new firmware from their dealer" but I can't find anywhere to check for updates or any instructions on how to do the update.  I bought used from a private seller, so I won't be getting anything from any dealer.  So my questions: 

    1 - Is there a place to download software or firmware updates for the touchscreens?  And are their instructions for how to do this?  

    2 - One of the issues is that when I first turn the ignition on and the screens boot, it immediately starts trying to fill the PnP ballasts and sets the ZeroOff system to 11mph.  It seems like it is defaulting to a strange preset when I first power on.  This is strange behavior right?  

    Thanks in advance for any help on this.  I'm sure I'll have plenty of questions in the first year.  This boat is way more complex than my first Centurion, which was a 2006 SV230.  That one was easy :)

    Did you get this sorted out?

    I have the same boat.  Software update didn't help.  Got a new screen under warranty.  The new one is worse.  Now having the screen wiring harness replaced as I'm not sure it's the screen as sometimes it will work perfectly.  This is a common problem with this screen, the good news (I guess) is that by restarting the boat the screen issues usually go away. Also check your batteries and all the connections

    Update: no service yet, too busy using the boat! Anyway, I have found way less ghosting when using presets.  One for surfing, one for cruising with no ballast.  This has reduced my restarts to about one or two per 2 hour session.  Still not happy about it, there is definitely something wrong.  I have checked all connections to see if tight or corroded.  I'm pretty sure it is not the screen itself but the wiring.  Going to replace to harness on the back of the screen and see what happens.

    Contact Roger Dory at Centurion.  He will send you the 2 files.  

    rdory@centurion-supreme.com

    There is a file for each screen.  Put on brand new, separate USB drives.  Do not alter the file names in any way.  

    Under the dash you will find the USB ports, one for each screen.  Update one at a time.  Connect your USB, hold down the screen button when you press ignition.  It will go into software update.  Once done for the touch screen you'll have to go into dealer settings and select your model of boat.  The dealer code is 91.

    Good luck,

    I've spoken to several techs over the last few years and pretty much all of them said the Raptor was a good motor but PCM the best.  And to stay away from Ilmor!  This is from guys who work on inboard engines on a daily basis.  I too was really impressed with the Supra SA. Overall a great boat and a fantastic wakeboarding wake.  Surf wake - it needed another 1500 on top of the max stock ballast.  That Raptor motor though...had to yell to talk over it!  I have had the PCM 343 and the 409 and both were problem free and ran beautifully.   Very DIY owner friendly for oil, belt and impeller changes, winterizing.
