I was having exactly the same problem and I came to the conclusion that it is a power up sequence and it is due to the...

Update - I have been able to get the boat out several times this week and I was just expecting to use the MG remote as the gateway was not working. On day 1, this was the case. On day 2, I hit the...

Talked to MG today and I am on a wait list for an update dongle. The guy I spoke to wasn't sure it would work, but said it would not hurt. I am hoping that I somehow just got stuck in a bad update...

Got back to looking at it today. Tried downgrading my HDS to v5 (oldest software I have) to see if maybe that would get it working and ran into exactly the same problem, HDS prompted to update motor...

DQM - So you put the new gateway in and then put your old gateway back in and it is now working?

DQM - I will be curious to hear if the new gateway makes a difference, please let us know.

As for the service from MG, my frustration has been the fact that they immediately rule out the motor...

To clarify, I had the problem after the MG board was replaced. At the time I had two HDS gen 3 units at 7.0. Only after a few calls with MG did I update one of them to 18.2 at the request of MG to...

Bloodman - I would love to have MG send me an update dongle. I have called 5 times now and they will not acknowledge that it is the motor, they insist on everything else but their part.

I have not gotten anywhere with MG. I did spend about an hour and a half on the phone with Lowrance and while I don't think they were able to really help, I do give the guy credit for trying to...

I updated one of my HDS Gen3 units to 18.2 today. Exactly the same result with the Motorguide wanting to update, but failing to do so. If I could just ignore the update request and move on I would...

I have an Xi5 that had the main control board replaced a few months ago to address a problem I had where the motor would not shut off when stowed. The motor is connected via the gateway and NMEA...

Update - I had mine in for service and they replaced the control board under warranty. The shop said the problem is solved but it will be some time before I can verify as everything is currently...

An update on mine - I am planning on taking mine in for service under warranty. I was just waiting for the soft water fishing season to be done and I am just about there. I'll post back when I...

Mine does this occasionally whether I am networked to the Lowrance or not. Fortunately, I am only open water trolling when I use the cruise control and it is a relatively minor problem for me. That...

Hello. I have a Motorguide Xi5 that is not turning off when stowed. The GPS is also not acquiring a signal unless I cycle power when it is deployed. I think the issues are related. I looked for...

Not sure if you have original fuel lines or not, but I have a 2000 125 Elpto and I had to replace the fuel lines, bulb, fuel filter and rebuild the fuel pump last year. The high quality (pun...

Not sure about your motor, but I have the switch below on a 2000 125 ELPTO and I have had no problems.
