It seems like a dumb question, but this seems like it was avoidable for several reasons. What do people think about this?

Looking for some electrical help on my 2005 Air 196 Nautique Team edition.

I recently replaced my factory amp with a Kicker KMA600.4. After reconnecting everything, I lost power to the stereo/head unit. I’ve already checked:

• The inline fuse near the stereo (good)
• The breaker under the driver’s dash (good)

Is there another factory breaker or hidden fuse in these boats that feeds the stereo/radio that I may be missing? Before I start tearing deeper into the wiring harness, I wanted to see if there’s another resettable breaker or fuse location on these boats that isn’t obvious.

Any ideas or wiring diagrams would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

My tower is now approaching 15 years old, it shakes more than it used to, has some cosmetic issues, one cable inside has snapped (non-issue for us as we've only folded it down one time since we purchased it), makes noises, the handle doesn't always stay locked, and now, one of the tri-lobe locks has basically become stripped. Debating re threading the tri-lobe and putting in a bigger bolt, but wondering if at ~15 years I'm heading down a bad path?
Anyone with experience replaced their tower for a fresh one?
Is this a universal bolt/mounting system? Would a newer model tower work or require significant work/modifications?
Is there a life expectancy on towers? (Never owned a boat this long, but the rest of the boat is still a great fit for our family, no other issues and used boat prices still scare me).
Would anyone have a lead on a FCT5- I'm sure it is a long shot, needle in a haystack situation, but if anyone knows of one getting dusty in the back of a shop somewhere, planetnautique seems like they'd know about it...

Went to turn on docking lights that I rarely ever use and boat went completely dead. Was able to paddle short distance back to dock. Boat was still completely dead with no power to anything including the dash. The next morning I was able to get the dash to come back on and all buttons work for bilge, blower, curtesy lights, stereo, etc.

I have physically disconnected the docking lights and I have checked all the fuses and relays on the smaller fuse block on top of motor and under the dash and tried replacing relay under kick plate by the dash.
the main screen isn’t showing engine hours or fuel level making me realize that the ecm isn’t getting power. I show 12v everywhere except the vsw fuse is only reading 2.33v.

Is my ecm bad?

Used it several times including yesterday with NO problems.

Now everything come up and when I hit the start engine button, fuel pump primes for a few secs and nothing else. Gas in the boat, kill switch in, in neutral, just swapped battery (thought that was it. )

Any ideas? Bout to go swap the starter relay after chasing one down. Anything else?

Thanks

(Pardon the AI summary - just easier to have it summarize my troubleshooting that re-typing it all )

Diagnostics performed:

• With the actuator unplugged, pressing Reset Fault clears the 25A short.
• Reconnected the actuator and the 25A short has not returned.
• Power Diagnostics now shows No Fault on every circuit.
• Removed the actuator and powered it directly from a 12V battery.
• Actuator extends and retracts normally.
• NCRS plate and linkage move freely.
• LINC accepts NCRS commands (1-5) and the displayed value changes correctly.
• However, the actuator never moves when commanded through LINC.
• LINC Displays an exclamation point notification by every NCRS setting other than 5.

Questions:

1. Is there an NCRS calibration/relearn procedure on a 2016 G23?
2. Is there a position sensor or feedback device that can inhibit actuator movement without generating a 25A fault?
3. Has anyone seen a PDM output fail in this way?
4. Could it still be a bad actuator?

Any ideas appreciated. I did find this - I did search through the forums and found this thread -2016 g23 ncrs circuit fault - PlanetNautique Forums

Could be as simple as replacing the actuator. From that thread, it seems the actuator can work but is just drawing too much current. I want to rule out a PDM/LINC issue before doing that though.

Thanks!
