I got the software and cable. Can someone help me find the diagnostic ports? I saw in previous threads it was mentioned the ports are under some panel in the starboard side storage? I don't see anything. I have a 2006 AR210.
On my 04 ar230 is behind the screw port on the aft vertical wall of the starboard aft hatch.

Thanks for everyone's help. I got my codes read. It was an issue with the No Wake switch. I swapped out all my switches for new ones with fancy red LEDs and text. Apparently the original No Wake switch has a resistor inside of it, so I am going to have to rig something up on my new switch.

I found some old threads on "the other site" regarding making one of these diagnostic cables. I ordered the parts to give it a shot. Hey @AZDANSX230HO - when do you need your stuff back by? I was hoping I could use your cable as a guide (so I know which color wires to connect) and test my newly made cable with your software whenever my parts come. But if you need it back ASAP, I'll go ahead and send it. I suppose I could just take a picture of your cable or something...

If you could send it back sometime next week would be good, need to get my boat ready for the season. We are flying home from Hawaii this Friday.
