Repair for Dead Gauges on 2003-2006 Nautiques Caused by Bad Faria Gateway

Just wondering if someone with an 03 210 who has replaced with the gauge kit from Nautique Parts could chime in...does anything special need to be done with the Perfect Pass? I have the original, still functioning PP with the paddlewheel.

Nautique Parts has this note: NOTE: This does not convert the Perfect Pass. You will need to contact Perfect Pass directly for their gateway bypass kit for the cruise control.

I guess my question is in the 03, does this apply? Since the kit says it works for 03 to 09, I wasn't sure if they were talking about all years. Does the Perfect Pass tie into the failing gateway box in the 03?

Thanks for any insight.

This is what I did... all new Faria Chesapeake gauges. GPS speedo eliminated the pitot tubes completely. Stargazer PP matches perfect. No regrets!

I just ordered the replacement kit from Nautique Parts and am also looking for some insight on my perfect pass. I have an 05 SANTE 210. Will my perfect pass still work? Is there something additional i need to get to do so?

Please keep us posted and good luck with the install!

Opened up the box on my 2005 Air NAutique 206 and found a loose capacitor bouncing around in the box. Took it to the dealer who had no idea what to do suggested I contact the Miami Nautiuqe guys. Sent them an email they just said buy the replacement. Ended up taking the unit to a local cell phone repair place and the guy did a great job of microsoldering the capacitor to the board with a new type of adhesive to hold it in place.

Anyone know where the gateway is on a ‘06 226? Sounds like moisture is my problem.

I had the exact issue 2 years ago, managed to solder it back in myself. At the time my depth gauge had stopped working and after replacing the transducer the consensus was that it wasn't working because of the gateway box. When I found the loose capacitor I thought that might be why, but reattaching it didn't correct my depth gauge issue and as best I can tell all other features are working. Curious if you had anything not working that started working once you got the capacity fixed?

Just plugged it in over the weekend and the depth gauge still doesn't work. Everything else seems to be the same. Did not connect the speedometer tubes..sealing them off to prevent any potential water damage.

My 2008 SV211 TE has the same gauges so I assume there is a Gateway box located somewhere. I've looked all over the engine bay and storage lockers but haven't been able to locate. Do any SV211 owners know where it maybe? Some preventative maintenance is probably in order.

I have a 2008 210 and the Gateway box is located in the helm, within 12 inches from the gauges.

I had the same issue. Depth gauge does not work after retrofit of replacement gauges.

I finally got time to install my gauge kit from nautique parts this past week. Installation was a lot easier than i expected and after an hour on the water everything seem to work except for my speedometer. It still hasn't acquired satellite signal. I mounted it per the instructions. Has anyone had similar issues or what time frame should it take to acquire satellite signal?

Has anyone figured out the voltage that should be found at the gauge pigtails? My Oil pressure gauge quit 3 years ago and I found a replacement gauge at Faria Beede. Now my other gauges have all quit, fuel was intermittent, temp comes and goes. Voltage is also out. I opened my gateway box and it was very clean and dry. Sprayed contact cleaner on all plugs but saw no change. The gauges are 15 years old. I swapped gauge positions in the daisy chain and the 3 year old Oil Pressure gauge works in other positions. The voltage is 8.3 volts. At the Black ground and Red Wire on all positions. Is there a way to test the gauges? Any experience with this kind of issue ? Thanks for the thread!!!

All my gauges have now gone out as well on my 2006 226, and I don't backlighting for the gauges either. I am getting 8.2v on the red wire and 3.8 volts on the white wire.

I'm going to call Faria and get the Faria BUS schematic unless someone here has it. My guess is that it's a capacitor in the Gateway (a .78 cent part) which is going to force us all to spend $1600 for a new gateway and gauges.
