So my winter punch list includes trying to repair the touchscreen on my 2016 242 se. THe price now on the gauge even if you wanted one new is $11 grand!?!?! Who makes the gauge and has anyone had any luck sending it off for repair?

Nope. I bought a used one on this site. Got super lucky.
At least five other members here passed when I offered to sell it them on the same terms. Whereas you jumped right on it without hesitation. I think you paid me soon after i got the shipping quote to you. Hindsight is always 20/20 but it’s got to hurt if that much more now for the guys that passed on the deal now that the new price for a still backlogged part has increased 500%.

@Jongottschalk , have you searched this forum for possible fixes? I’ve seen a lot of posts on how to reset the display screens but didn’t flag any since I have a pre connext model boat.

At least you have options. Why not send it in for repair? What’s the expected repair cost and how long will it take? I’m pretty sure other similarly situated members would be willing to go that route of the price and/or timing is right.
