Did the factory defaults on the VVL per post 28, and redid setup wizard, no change.

Yes, all of my HDS units have Helm 1, which I would expect, I only have one helm.
Each has a unique "Device ID" which is different and separate from the "Helm ID" and the instructions imply that...

Isn't ^^^^ what I showed, or are you refering to something else?

Is what I showed in the 2nd-4th screen shot I shared above what you are referring to? I read that section and that is what I was attempting to do...perhaps I didn't do correctly? Please advise.

I think so, here is a screen shot:

But, I'm not given a choice of the Water Pressure when the in the Mercury Screen. Here is the sequence I used to try to add it:

FWIW, I just warrantied a 46 month old X2 (Northstar) GRP 31.

Always charged it w/ my DualPro 15A Charger immediately upon return from any day on the water.

Guy at Batteries Plus said it was...

If you have these two units networked w/ ethernet, you probably should stay up at these latest software levels...having the Carbon way back at 18.x and the Pro at 23.3 might cause some networking...

Great News!

The NEMA-0183 output is on the Power Cord, so it was likely hardwired to your Speedometer.

I had SC-1000 Tach and Seedo (not Merc-Monitor), but was never able to get Depth info on it (MercMonitor may be different).

His diagram indeed shows the J-Box and the SC network in the lower left corner, denoted by (i)...Assumption in the diagram is that there is a SmartCraft network on the other side of the J-Box, no?

The issue is the paper based cap washer/seal.
