Great info Jpwhit! Great offer I may take you up on! An update for everyone today.. I started the boat.. all zeros.. dang! Parked at the dock.. turned the master switch on/off a few times. No change. Reached under the dash and jiggled wires close to the screen. It all came to life, showed all numbers, got gps sats, and I took a set. Something is loose under the dash by the screen.

How do I put it in rec mode?

Yes. That’s what I replaced 2 weeks ago.

I have a 2016 MC, and ZO has decided to intermittently stop working. When it doesn’t work, the screen shows all zeros. I have replaced the computer under the dash with a new one last month. I have also removed, sprayed with electrical cleaner spray and reattached all ECM plugs thinking there may be a loose connection. Very frustrating. Any other ideas?

Oh mannn.. my BOS shirt got thrown out with the stuff from the fire! I need to get another..

Basically learned how to ski a course on Don Pedro in the 90’s. Parents and I had a houseboat on it for more than a decade…

So far so good. Have used the boat for about 3 days, with no ZO issues. Hope it lasts!

That’s a good idea… I’ll try that.

I took the unit out of the firewall yesterday. Unplugged it, then took it apart, and looked for anything loose. Everything looked good. Someone told me the back plate on that has to be water tight, or ZO will surge. Doesn’t make sense for something electronic? I get it if it gets wet though.. but I don’t think it would in the kick panel.

Good to know. Sounds like I’ve still got a decent amount of time left on it.. probably!

Single Puck. That’s a thought, maybe the puck is going out..

The ZO in my 2016 MC is flakey. I’ve detected 3 states. One, where everything is fine and works normal. Two, the ZO doesn’t engage, and it doesn’t find any satellites. Sometimes all the numbers on the screen are zeros. Three, the ZO will not engage, and I cannot change the speed on ZO. The two arrow buttons are not present. When either 2 or 3 happen I can sometimes fix it by turning off the master switch and letting it sit for a few moments.

Just a general question. Assuming oil is changed on time, and it doesn’t get too hot, how many hours could I get on a 2014-2020 motor? I have 1100 on mine now..

If you can do it, ZO is worth the upgrade, as long as you don’t have to swap the motor.. but for If you just need a new ECM and ZO, I would say worth it. I lucked out and found someone selling ZO, and the ECM I needed in 2918 for $15OO. Totally worth it.. but then that boat got destroyed in a tornado a year later!

Started tournament skiing about age 14 (‘92 ish) after several people started to say I had potential. Initially, just disabled tournaments.. then started to go to some regular tournaments after my skiing coach/buddy started to notice I was getting better.. ‘96 ish. Won disabled nats in ‘97. Won the disabled worlds in England, slalom in ‘99. Won disabled worlds again in 2000 overall in Australia. Built a house on a ski lake in 2007. Was the first disabled skier to ski at “regular” nationals in San Marcos 2014, at age 37. Waterskiing changed my life forever. Still love it!
