Thanks @SKybolt, I do have the Seatalk NG power switch on and there is another 12 volt power cable wired to the backbone. I viewed your post after I left the boat today so I did not have an opportunity to turn one of them off and see if it made a difference. I found the reference to the power connection to the ACU with the warning to only have one power source connected. The manual does not elude to the consequences of having the additional power supply connected. Also in the trouble shooting guide I saw no mention of a NO Pilot message. Thanks much for the link to the manual. I will continue to work the issue.
As mentioned, make sure that only one power source is powering the NG bus. If there is a hardwired power injector then I would make sure that switch on the ACU-200 is turned off. Also check the fuses both the 3A fuse for the SeaTalkNG bus and the 20A fuse for the ACU itself. If both power sources for the NG bus were on at the same time and the sources are from different batteries, a the unit may be damaged as a result.
