I am all of a sudden starting to have my speed, rpm, depth, and furl readings go to zero, and my temp go to 32. Also my ballast fill switches stop working. It will do this at random. I can sometimes shut the batteries off and restart, and they work again. But not every time. I reached out to skiers choice, and got this answer "
This sounds like a CAN component in the boat is starting to fail or there is a loose wire in the CAN network causing intermittent connection" has anyone had an issue with one of these, and if so where? I am several hours from a dealer and am not against trying to locate a loose connection/connector myself.

I would start behind the display. Not sure what they are using for connectors. If they are rj45 type ethernet connectors, the plastic gets weak. I would hope they are twist lock sealed being marine grade.

There is a direct canbys cable from the screen to the control module. It could just be that cable is bad.

Thanks. I will take a look this weekend. I bought the extended warranty on the electronics, so I hope this will be covered if I I can't find it. Gonna have to dig up my warranty paperwork.
