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

[Skobeljp1]

I purchased a 2009 206 Signature at the end of last season. Before winterization, the tech told me that all the gauges were dead. Is this the same issue with later models?

A Signature Edition would not have this issue since those boats don't use a gateway.

If you get this far in this thread and have 1 or more of your gauges out AND don't want to shell out the big bucks for the bypass kit private message me. I have fixed ~20 or so of these gauges at 100% for a bunch of members. It's not that difficult and seems to be a permanent fix. In my experience if any of the gauges work OR if your LCD on the larger gauges still works then it's likely NOT the gateway, it's the gauges. However.....if you have an earlier boat where the pitot tubes run into the gateway and haven't fixed this problem then it could very well be your gateway.

I have a fuel gauge that I need repaired… I am new and unable to private message you. Can you PM me?

does anyone have pictures of how gateway wires into new 1246 conversion with gauges

I'm having some issues with my gauges intermittently not working. 2007 SV211 Team Edition. Here's a thread I started with more detail (LINK). I'd like to try TechBeer's fix but am unsure if it will totally resolve my issues as my LCD display on my RPM gauge shows signs of not working properly and will sometimes show partial characters.

Has anyone tried that fix in a similar situation? I'm planning to pull my gateway box this week to inspect for corrosion and clean if necessary.

Lastly, does the Nautique Parts faria gateway replacement kit include depth?

Do you have any information on the under dash wiring with perfect pass for the new kit i feel like i have figured out everything but not completely sure i have the cruise wired up correct thanks

Recently acquired 2003 206 limited. Tach and volt gauge not working.
Looks like Oil pressure gauge was replaced with a nautique brand (but different) gauge. But it functions properly and from the stock sending unit (maybe through the gateway? I'm not sure). Speedo functions as it should, including all aspects of the digital readout.

This leads me to think that the gateway is functioning properly. However, the tach is completely dead including the backlight. Same for volts. If I understand things correctly (after reading 14 pages of this thread), the signal for the volts comes daisy chained from the temp and fuel (and oil?). So if those are working, the issue is the gauge itself, or the last bit of the connection?

Sounds like the tach would go through the gateway.

I guess i'm curious, is there also a 12v power and ground for each gauge that would control the power for the stepper motor and backlight? Thinking perhaps I just have a bad wire (optimistically) vs bad gauges. I could live without volts, but a tach would be nice.

Another question: if I were to install stargazer PP, where does the tack pull from and how is that wired? I've only installed on a GT40 boat, and that was straight forward - tap off the tach wire next to it.

Thanks! This thread is awesome!

Liamfm , are volts reading properly on the LCD? If so, TechBeer can help you with the Volt (and likely the Tach) gauge.

He is also working on a conversion kit that would allow you to get speed from a source other than the pitots which eliminates the risk of flooding the Gateway if the pitot connection develops a leak.

Edit: (Starting over) - The LCD on the tach is dead, so I can’t see any information there. I pulled the dash and the tach is the first one in the daisy chain, so it must be getting signal and power since the remainder of the gauges work (except the volts, which is the last in the chain). Thus, I suspect the gauge itself is dead, as is the gauge for the voltmeter. TechBeer if you care to PM me, or here, I’ll gladly take some advice on trying to bring these back to life.
