I have just added seakkeeper tide to my 306. Has anyone else done this, and if so could you share your TCC settings? Also comments on how you use the system!

I don't have your boat but I do have Ride 450 on a 26 foot hull. Since I bought the boat used, I sailed the first season and a half with whatever had been programmed. My boat was prone to water spray over the bow when cruising in choppy but not terrible seas. Late this season I adjusted the parameters to keep the bow a few degrees higher than had been set and the spray decreased greatly. The bow before the change was slightly stuffing the bow and causing the spray over the deck. I am not sure that I have he settings optimal but I am and learning. I also did an experiment recently regarding WOT. The WOT and top speed that was achieved during sea trials was higher ( by a lot). After thinking about what could be the reason, I had the thought that may be the Ride system was slowing the boat at WOT so I did a test by turning off the system and testing WOT. The top end revs increase by about two to three hundred revs. It wasn't really good seas to do an accurate test but I was pretty sure the Ride system was holding the boat back.
I rarely if ever run at WOT nor so cruise at the speeds the hull can do. My thought about WOT was that the programming may be set to disable the Ride System above a set SOG. It's not a big deal for me.
I don't have my TCC data handy but if you think it might help, I can see what is currently programmed when I get to the boat.

Went to register the system and realized it was the 525 instead of the 600, so now it has to be changed! Not worried about the parameters right now! Worried about damage being done while removing the transom adhesive!
