Endeavour 37A Racine, WI
I have a Sharp Seapilot on my 1979 Endeavour37A. I found a rather robust conceversation here from 2012, that has convinced me not to just yank the thing. For the past three years (extended shakedown :) I've occasionally pulled the manual out (see link) and inevitably toss it aside, because I can't even get the blinking lights to balance. On this boat it's not a priority, but it is a mystery that one day I hope to solve. Electronics are not a forte of mine, but I would like a run a diagnostic. Thanks.

I believe it would be in your best interest to hire a marine electronics technician on this one. I'm sure in an hour he will either have it working for you or let you know it's trash. Kinda a win/win to me.

I would tend to agree with Capta, however I would check the distro box (page 44 of the manual) Check all the connections for corrosion and correct as needed.
