Title: interlink disconnect - connected
Post by: confusedfisherman on March 25, 2012, 08:38:59 PM

i am having problems with the interlink staying connected to my front 787c2i from the console 798cisi
i keep getting a pop up saying disconnected, then 1 second late its connected - it will do this all day long. connections are snug. i have both units with the latest updates. any clues?

Was this working before?  When did it start doing this?
Are there any other issues with the units..

Try the reset option as Greg mentioned.
It should work right out of the box..
Unless the interlink/software has problems..
Sounds like the unit is ok though..

ok, maybe i am doing it incorrectly, i tried to repair as stated above but every time i try and connect the interlink it keeps popping up that interlink connection failed.

then its stars again interlink connected  and then is disconnected  again.  could it be there is a cable loose still? i have to boat in my driveway so it is not bouncing around.   any thought?

Is it possible that it's getting interference from something else on the boat?

Maybe re-check the wire routing.  Not sure if GPS could cause it, but I would try
and route the power wires away from GPS and VHF (if you have it).

nothing else on boat. no exterior gps, radio or anything.
