Vision control issues 21 SL

[SONIC]

I spoke with my dealer (we usually do things remotely as I prefer to do my own work) and they spoke with skiiers who says it's likely a bad ethernet cable. They are sending me a new one.
In the meantime I got under the dash and unplugged the cable wiggled it a bit and plugged it back in and it seems to be working so far.

I hope it is that simple for mine as well. What are the chances two ethernet cables are bad on new boats? I have replaced cables at the office after years that have been pinched and twisted etc, but after a couple of months...fingers crossed it is indeed that simple though.

Appreciate the insight. Will mention it to the dealer as well.

If it is the ethernet cable it is more than likely the ends. I would hope they are using a sealed, industrial type connectors and not RJ45.

If Ethernet cables are anything like phone charging cords, there is a huge variance in cable quality and robustness on the market.

There have been quite a few issues with the cables that I have seen here and elsewhere on the interwebs.

Hopefully it's that simple of a fix I agree!

Dealer emailed back today. Ethernet cable replaced. Water testing tomorrow. Hopefully, it works as it should.

Just closing this thread off. Used the boat for a good 10 hours after replacing the ethernet cable and everything works as it should.

My dealer sent me the cable, it's not a standard Ethernet it's got different ends on it but must be some form of Ethernet.

A bit tight if you have big hands but total time to replace was under 5 minutes.
Solved the screen issues.

Looks more like a midi cable

D-coded ethernet.
4 pins = 100Mpbs

X-coded ethernet
8 pins = 1Gbps
They are using industrial grade because they are IP67 rated for water.

But that is neither.....mini sub 5 pin...looks to be something proprietary.
