Sea Ray Monitoring System

[rpenney1212]

I just bought a 2001 460 Sundancer. While removing the cover to the control panel on the Westerbeke generator I shorted out one of the terminals on a switch and blew the 5A glass fuse. I know that I should have disconnected the battery, but I was just taking a quick look to see why the remote start from the salon panel was not working.
Well, I replaced the fuse along with the two relays used for the remote start. The generator works fine, but now the Sea Ray System Monitor reads, “Data Link Failure, Alarm System Offline”. The low oil alarm no longer sounds when I start either boat engine or the generator. When I hit the reset button, the monitor reads, “All Systems Normal” for a few seconds and goes offline. I disconnected the batteries for a few minutes thinking that would reset the “brain”, but still NG. The manual is silent on trouble shooting the System Monitor. The electronics tech at the marina had no ideas.
Has anyone run into the same problem? Do I have to hold down the reset button while reconnecting the batteries or something similar?

I would like to hear what you found out, I have the same problem. Did you get it fixed?

He's made 3 posts in a year that he's been a member and the last almost 6 months ago, not sure if he's still on line.
I would like to know how he fixed the generator problem, I have the same issue.

I just had this happen today. Have you heard of a fix

I was just cruising stopped to let the kids swim. Once underway I noticed the "failure alarm system offline". Hope to hear soon

I presume an answer hasn't surfaced?

My buddy just had data link failure. They asked Searay and they had no answers. Why is it no one understands what is causing this issue. It does not seem to effect boat performance. He has QSM 11's. Does anyone know where this data link black box might be?

Mine magically just stopped erroring. I turn off the batteries when I leave. This week, no error. My dealer says they replace both the box and the panel to solve the error.

did you ever figure that out? I have the same problem...

Typically it’s the coaxial connector on the back of the systems monitor. Re terminate that connection and I’ll bet your problem disappears
