The VesselView is the "commander" of your system link (gauges) devices - as far as I remember. It might be a bit dependent on WHEN in 2006 your boat was build.

But I think the normal is you have system link connectors coming out of the vesselview that both powers- and send data to the System Link gauges. Each System Link gauge gets its data from the "previous" gauge - so they are connected in serial - so like this ( SC5000 -> System Link Gauge 1 -> SL gauge 2 -> SL gauge 3) - so if the link from SC5000 to the first gauge is broken - the rest wont show anything.

So it might be as simple as a loose connector - it might be one gauge is broken - keeping the "rest" from displaying anything.

But look behind the "dash" and check the wiring first. If each instrument is connected to the previous with 3 wire connectors - then it is the System Link system.
