I just switched the switches!
with summer schedules mechanic said if all working, we will look at it in the fall, which is less than 2 month away for us in the northeast!
Quick update, I switched the switches between the port and starboard engine, I went our last night, and did not have a single issue or error on the screen. I'm still scheduled to go out on Saturday, but after 1 day test, looking good (knock on wood). My challenge is the logistics of the mechanic...
Before paying anything, i was going to switch the switches and see the problem follows (doubt it). I'm trying to coordinate mechanic and haul out schedule in the meantime, I'm suspecting a cable issue. It's not suspecting clutch because I'm not facing the symptoms stated in one of the posts above.
FWIW, I picked up the switch yesterday to install, as getting on the boat I tripped and filled in the water!!!! The switch was in a bag and the bag floated, the phone was still in my pocket, but I lost my glasses. So, I ended up Not doing anything as the bag that housed the switch had a couple...
I'm looking to schedule a mechanic and truck to haul the boat out next week.

Great feedback, this is NOT my case at all. I can switch to Forward with no issues and then to neutral with no issues. intermittently, every other time I switch to reverse, I get the shift error. The puzzling part is sometimes it does shift into reverse, and I still get the error, and sometimes...
I spoke to a couple of mechanics, and both suggested something electric. One of the suggestions was to replace the electric switch to eliminate one more thing. It's only $50 so I will try that today.
With July 4th weekend and everyone is busy, I'm planning on this next week.
Have you considered battery powered Gens? I'm not sure what your needs are while away from the dock, but in the northeast, no need for AC, I just need to power my grill :)!!! looking to add the ego nextgen with 4 x 7.5amp batteries.
Thank you for the quick response, where is the clutch? I looked at the parts manual and cant find it (I'm not mechanical more on the electrical side). What you are describing sounds exactly what I'm facing.
Hi all, thank you for your contributions. I opened the hatch as suggested, compared both Starboard and port, and both shifted fine. videos are below. Although, i still got the error on the VesselView (only on the VV403 NOT on the VVmobile app), then the error disappeared. We decided to go out...
This is DTS, how do I troubleshoot before taking the boat out of the water as it is a big task! If the cable to the drive was damaged, why would it shift to Forward and Nuetral with no errors?
When I launched the boat, I had a flag stuck between the outdrives and the starboard engine was stuck up. Shut everything down and restarted and all started working well. Since this, i have had intermittent issues when I shift the starboard into reverse, it does not shift. Last night, i can...
