I just started to have an issue with my lower helm throttle. When you put the boat in forward there is a detent when you move from N to F and once you hit that point the engine should go into gear. Now I have to go past that point, slightly, to get the tranny to engage. I do not experience this when using the bridge control. There was no info in the troubleshooting part of the manual that addressed this issue.

Once in gear everything seems fine. When shifting back to N and then R no problems.

This is my first issue with fly by wire controls so I am looking for some ideas on how to diagnose / fix the problem. It may be as simple as unplugging it and then power it back up.

Thanks
