ProSafe Galvanic Isolator Monitor failure

Hunter 356 Lake Grapevine, TX
There are 3 lights showing on the monitor:
Ground Wire = FAIL
Galvanic Isolator = Normal
Bonding System Protection = UNDER
An alarm started beeping under sail and we killed the power. Now under shore power or sail, the alarm no longer beeps but lights still displayed as above.
Any advice on what I need to do is appreciated.

have you checked that the ground wire is connected all the way back to the dock?? Do you have the same problem connecting to another source??

The isolator is telling you that you have lost your AC green/grounding/Earthing wire. This can be quite dangerous as it leaves the only path back to the shore through the water or through you on its way to water and back to shore. If you don't understand AC wiring best to bring in an ABYC Certified electrical technician.

Fix pronto - enhanced risk/danger because you are in fresh water.
