    G23 Zero Off Problem

    Hey guys just bought a 2013 G23 from Minnesota but up in Northern Alberta Canada. Zero off gps worked fine when we were down in Minnesota but now in Alberta the gps won't keep a signal, it worked for a couple minutes at a time but mostly couldn't get any signal while out on the water today. Sky didn't have a cloud in it. Any thoughts as to why this could happening? Does it need to be recalibrate for a new area? Where are the anntenaes for the gps? Any ideas at all are appreciated I don't have a clue. Thanks

    the antenna is starboard side in front of wind shield , just a persons arm on it will effect it or a towel .....do you remember if any one was sitting up front that might have interfered with the little black puck???

      There was nothing in the bow to cover that black plastic area at all. I think it might be a loose connection as the boat was trailered a long ways to its new home and it did work alittle although flakey. How do you access under the black cover to check the gps connections?

        Alittle update, I pulled the bow seat back off and the plug was intact. It has 4 wires coming out a red gps, black gps and a twisted pair can bus hi and can bus low. Any idea what the voltage readings should be on the can bus? I think it's a faulty gps puck but I just want to be sure.

          Depending on when the boat was originally bought that would still be under warranty I would think? If you're in Alberta the folks at Wizard Lake are great to deal with.
