Axius repair on used boat Cobalt 303

[silver_power]

Well i coming back....
Joystick is awesome, the steering response absolutely perfect and completely different than the classic steering cable etc.
But, i have a 2 questions.
1. The skyhook pad does not have any lights lit but it makes beep when i press the buttons....Obviously it does not work. The strange is that i am sure it had the red lights (i have photo) but since i made a reset to vesselview something went wrong......i searched for setting etc but i cannit find something...... no g3 faults to ccm etc....
2. Vesselview show the position of the boat (gps coordinates) only when the chartplotter is on. If i power off the chartplotter, the vesselview show "no gps signal" . The axius service manual tells that the axius gps ( ex: gps300) gives gps signal to vesselview and even if chartplotter is off, vv shows the coordinates. This does not happen to me....
The strange is that if i go to Strb CCM live data screen with G3, i can see the gps signal coming from Axius antenna and IMU. I can not understad why this signal does not go to vv.
Can somebody with Axius gen1 check if vv show gps position with the chartplotter off??

Thank you.

As dumb as this sounds silver_power , sometimes with these high-end computer types of electronics, they just need a reset typically done by just unplugging them for a good minute or two, plug it in and see if it all works normal again...Kind of like when the computer or home Wi-Fi router goes down and things just aren't working correctly... You got to reboot it....Maybe a reboot will help get the lights back on since you hear the beeping.

As for the Vesselview, maybe the info below will help get a direction going...

Symptom
Track Waypoint not working
VesselView for displayed faults.
Verify the chartplotter is on.
Verify the chartplotter has an active waypoint.
Verify the speed forward is greater than 2.6 knot 3 mph.
Verify the chartplotter is communicating with VesselView. Compare waypoint names. They should be the same.
Verify the steering wheel has endstops. If no endstops, refer to "Steering System" above.
Verify the GPS working. Turn off the chartplotter and check latitude and longitude on VesselView.
