We took our 2018 242X out last weekend for the first time this year. While out on the water I had a check engine warning come on for the port motor. We shut down hung out for a while as I talked to our dealer. It was giving me a 116 code, and he thought it was being caused by bad batteries. We put on the emergency parallel switch and ran through the cycle to clear the code and made it back to the ramp. Changed out the batteries today and started the motors to check everything out and found the port motor idling around 2k rpm and the stbd at 1.5k. Any thoughts on what is causing the high idle? Any fixes so we can try and get out tomorrow?
