We splashed our boat last week. Most systems are working properly but we're not getting power to the GHS lift and the Systems Monitor is showing the "Data Link Failure" message.
Our starboard battery died during winter storage and I recharged it without issue. While prepping the boat to go in the water I was able to operate the GHS lift without issue and did not notice the "Data Link Failure" message. Now that the boat is in, all DC systems are working properly with the exception of these two issues. Both items are powered by the starboard battery which has stayed above 12V since the boat has been in the water.
Starting with the GHS lift, all fuses in the GHS system are good and the only breaker I could find, pictured below, is properly set. No indicator lights on the pump are on and it does not seem like there is power to the system. Are there any other breakers or resets I may be missing? I did just find a GHS electrical system troubleshooting guide online and will try that next if I don't receive any other suggestions.
Regarding the Systems Monitor, both coax connections in the dash and the engine room seem to be good. I did open the black box, where the coax is connected in the engine room, hoping to find a reset button but there was not one in there. Based on some previous threads, I disconnected both batteries with the hope of resetting the system but the "Data Link Failure" message still appeared. Any suggestions on what may be going on would be appreciated.
It seems like these issues could be related to the previous starboard battery failure but the lift has operated since then so it does have me scratching my head a bit. Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions.
