thanks again- does your watch show the ballast shift as an option? mine does not

No, it does not. I think that's only an option for the GS and G23s. Perhaps someone here knows for sure.

Once paired never unpair because it is a huge pain to re-pair. My bluetooth is soley used for the Pebble Watch and I use the aux cable to run any music; never bluetooth with cell phone or audio devices because it fights the bluetooth on the Pebble Watch if that makes sense.

I don't understand why this is a problem for you. I stream audio from my iPhone via Bluetooth and use the Pebble behind the boat at the same time. I've never had a problem.

I prefer to use the aux cable for my music because it is clearer/crisper than bluetooth. Also with all the hassels with setting up the Pebble watch to bluetooth it is just easier for me to alway have the watched paired with the boat then using the Ipod through aux cable

OK. In your first post you suggested it wouldn't work because the Bluetooth conflicted. That is not the case.

I like using the Bluetooth streaming because then I can use the Pebble to skip to the next song when I'm surfing.

I'm still unclear as to why this is so much of a hassle for you. I paired my Pebble to the LINC once. I paired my iPhone to the LINC once. I can stream audio off the iPhone and use Pandora off the phone. I can still use the blue Surf Select remote that came with the boat. Or I can use the Pebble. Everything works just fine.

Im still in learning curve on the watch. Just had issues with the pairing. Now that it is set , I just prefer to leave it in the boat and use while surf vs bringing it back to the house and loss pairing or bluetooth connect.

OK, you need to understand more about Bluetooth. It's just a UHF wireless connection over short distances. Once a device is paired, it doesn't become "unpaired" just because they're not close to each other anymore. When the boat or the watch is shut down, the Bluetooth connection is down. Nevertheless, the two devices are still paired. They'll remain paired until one or both sides of the connection is told to forget or delete the connection.

Ok thanks for the detailed info. Helpful

ugh... ok hate to beat a dead horse.
Im have an iPhone 6. Looks like the dealer gave me a pebble "Steel".

On the app store I see a Pebble App for version 4.4 and when I click on "developer apps" I see "Pebble OLD version" which looks like it is version 2.6.10. Do I get one of these?

With that, we are still very green at surfing and not sure if we need to worry about ballast shift, or even switching sides of the wake since we already have the NSS handheld remote. The main reason I want the pebble to work right now is for when I am floating in a cove and "need" another beer - I have been dreaming of turning down the stereo with the pebble and politely asking my kids for another and then cranking the stereo back up.

On a 2016 boat, you will have to use the old firmware and the old version of the app. There are links in this thread on how to downgrade the firmware if you have to.

this worked for me 2017 230

3. Had to do the same steps on an Android...
4. From the android I was able to download the "NSS" app
5. deleted the android app and paired back to my iPhone.

Now... how to pair to the boat

So you've done the hard part. Now you just need to follow the instructions to pair it with the boat.

The instructions are in the "Manuals/Brochures" section.

has anyone gotten the pebble time watch on version 4.3 to work with a 2017 boat? i can get it to pair but as soon as i open the app i lose connection. i know someone with version 4.2 and theirs works but even when i tried to reset to factory setting the pebble watch app on my iphone forces the update to 4.3

With a 2017 you should be able to run latest and greatest. I do on a 2017 SANTE 230.
