Ridesteady is a speed control system (“cruise control”) that uses GPS satellites or engine RPM to keep your boat at the set speed you choose.

I would assume the dealer did this.... but I’ve also been let down before...
- Check all connections
- Trace wires, look for pinches, rubs, etc
On a more basic level, how was the GPS not working discovered? On the water? By chance, it wasn’t tried, and hasn’t been tested since when in a shop, under a cover, or near a large clump of trees?
It was working fine. However after my service I discovered no speedo, clock or location when we took it out on the water. We have about 25 hrs on it now still no GPS. we have gone through all the simple fixes connections, damaged wires ect. Still nothing.
Dealer did a reset to factory settings. Still nothing
Everything else works great
Probably not user servicable, but I would expect the dealer could get you one to try... I believe it is located under the white some infront of your windshield.
If they have one you could potentially just disconnect the current one and plug a new one in to test if the wiring allows for it.
