    • Loose or faulty data cables between the touch screens and the screen control module are the most common issue I have experienced. 

    • I recently purchased a 2019 LSV 22 with 139 hrs.

      We took it out and both screens froze, I turned it off and reset it, nothing changed except for the 7” screen started to operate from big screen.  The images were correct but touching big screen would operate little screen.  Nothing on big screen worked.  I let it sit for a cple hrs powered it back up and then big screen worked normal and small screen didn’t work at all.  
      Any advice would be great.

      Hey Crew and Wetsounds specialist.  

      I am an advanced stereo guy for a little background.  Home audio and all my rigs have custom setups.  


      2024 A225 7hrs on the boat  Sound pack 3. 4 rev 10s.


      The 4 rear cabin speakers randomly stop working. All of the zones are set to equal volumes. The two fronts continue to work as well as towers and sub.  A power cycle of the new Wetsounds head unit does not fix it.  A power cycle of the boat did not seem to fix it.  After power cycling the batteries they sometimes start working.  It goes in for the 10hr break in maintenance but an intermittent problem is troubling. I checked connections on all the amps.  



      Any guidance?
      What is the best description to tell the dealer. I do not want to lose downtime for an amp issue.

    • Look for excessive moisture, corrosion, or pin/wire damage, wear, or bad crimps at the connectors.  The Delphi connector plastic purple pin retainer often needs to be removed to properly inspect the female pin sockets.  Careful, they are very easy to break as they get older.  Look for wear on the center contact on the female pins.  If they are worn and bent down, they can be bent back up as a temporary repair.  Replacement of any worn pins is best (if needed).

      Here is an example of one bad female pin sockets on a different kind of connector.

      And this is after a temporary repair.

      +1 vote for M6 in any of the boats you are looking at. I came from the 6.2L Raptor motor in an older 23 LSV and it felt pretty equivalent to the M5 on power, but after having a M6 in the 2024 23 LSV, I wouldn't go back. It's hard to beat the extra power as these boats just keep getting deeper and heavier. As another reference point, my local dealer generally orders all stock boats 23' and bigger (plus M220) with the M6 as it handles people and ballast (especially PnP) much better than the M5. And keep in mind we're only 1,200' elevation.

      Speaking of weight, there is now only a 200lbs dry weight difference between the redesigned 23 LSV and 23 MXZ. I agree that weight is likely in the front but have found very little difference in surf wake between the two so far. I think the bigger difference is space and the price tag, which I could not justify. The wake on the new 23 LSV is pretty awesome, certainly better than models years before and rivaling the much deeper M220.

      I believe the more "chair-like" rear lounge seats are only available on the new M242, 26 LSV, and (maybe) 25 LSV. I can see the allure in full seat backs, but we often have multiple people back there laying or sitting so wouldn't work real well for our lounging.

      Best of luck on your search, fun times!

      Nice to hear.  Agree on the m6 but there was a leftover 23 with m5 at a price hard to ignore,but still to expensive to have regrets
