Repair for Dead Gauges on 2003-2006 Nautiques Caused by Bad Faria Gateway

[Kmayotte]

My gauges have been dead since summer of 2015. I lived with it since the Perfect Pass worked and that's all I really needed. Looking to sell the boat soon so I just ordered the gauge replacement kit from nautiqueparts.com

$877.60 after discount and including shipping. I'll post an update once I receive and install it. Here's hoping it goes smoothly.

The problem was located the previous owner had reversed the Gateway Box, the Gateway Way box was placed in its right position and the fuse button pushed and all of the gauges now work.

All of gauges and my stereo are dead, all other features work. This is what I found similar to SkiBum the switched power (purple wire) has 12 volts when the ignition is turned on the constant voltage wire (red wire) has no power. According to the wiring diagram(see wiring diagram section on the main page) the red lead is connected to the fuse box. I found the information after I delivered the boat to my Nautique Service Center; once he finds the problem I will post.

I have just had a similar problem with dead gauges. Managed to crack the box open but no water damage. There are two power feeds one is switched and the other is constant live. I checked the later and found no power to it. Manual form Faria suggests this should have a 5amp fuse to it but I cannot find it anywhere. I have done a temp fix off the switched live just to get it going. Anybody know where the constant live connects to the battery feed or if there is an in line fuse somewhere? 2003 196. All the gauges are now fired up

guys think this would be a good preventative measure?

I have a 2004 SN 206 Ltd. The analog portions of the Speedo and Tachometer work fine and all of the other analog gauges work fine. The water temp, depth, voltage, oil pressure that show up in the digital portion of the gauges work intermittently/randomly but I cannot use the buttons to cycle through the displays. I know these boats are prone to a bad gateway box but assume that I would be getting no signal from any of the gauges if that was the case.

Any chance anyone can verify that it is the gauges that are likely to be the issue?

Being that these likely will be unable to be returned I’m hoping not to waste the $400+ if I’m chasing the wrong problem. Thanks for any help

Hello, I have a 2003 Sport Nautique which has the Gateway in the back and Faira Gauges. My gauges work (Have not tested the speedo yet) when I run the engine after de-winterizing it. The only problem with mine is the Hour meter say 3450 HRS. My boat has 225 HRS if I am on the high side. Anyone else have this issue?

Also with the Gateway, should I just disconnect the speed tubes and get a GPS speedometer or can I somehow isolate the pitot tubes and water from the gateway box. Sounds like these all fail, just a question of when.

this is great news, and just the solution we had been looking for. hopefully someone will come forward with a dead gateway for you to test with, and maybe it won't be hard to rebuild.

I haven't done anything yet. Still just living with dead gauges. I just unwrapped the boat this weekend and with a baby due in a few weeks I doubt anything will happen before the fall. If I end up replacing the failed gateway I'll message you.

gatorgates Wheres the Gateway Box on 2004 SN196 ? IN the Aft Locker ? would this make my gas gauge fail ? I replaced the sending unit today , and still reads full. Additionally my tach gauge reads zero , and my volt meter is intermittent

Thanks

Kmayotte, what did you end up doing with your failed gateway? I work for a company that rebuilds circuit boards, and there's a good chance that the gateway can be rebuilt.

I have a 2005 210 SE with a tach that's not working but the hour meter is. I ordered a new tach and planned on checking the gateway as well but can't find it. I don't have digital gauges and was told by former owner that gauges were replaced and a key start ignition was added. Does anyone know if this model has the problematic gateway?

Has anyone come up with a good solution for this yet? Mine is fine, but I'm half tempted to remove the pitot tubes and just use the Perfect Pass as my speedometer to avoid any issues. I talked to the company that makes GPS conversion kits, but they don't make anything for this speedometer.
