I have noticed that my navionics will almost always glitch out when I switch between it and other screens (ballast/lights/stereo/etc).  If I really want it to work, I cycle power, then go to the nav screen as soon as it fires up.  It will work flawlessly until I switch off of it.  Many of us have switched to using our phones/ipads and navionics app vs depending on the screens to function. If you are close to your dealer, perhaps let them dig into it.  It could be a software or firmware issue.  It’s not an often utilized feature so I could see it being a low priority for the Malibu/viper/medallion programmers.  I have a brand new oem screen on mine too.  I bought the navionics to decrease the pain of buying a new screen, at least id be upgrading its capability in the process - instead just got more doubt over the quality of oem stuff that is not returnable 🤣.

Thanks for all the tips guys.

I ALSO WANNA ADD THAT MY STARTER HAS BEEN SLUGGISH TO START THE BOAT LAST FEW TIMES OUT, SOMETIMES IT WOULD SPIN OVER QUICKLY AND SOMETIEMES IT WOULD BARELY START THE BOAT. 

Good clue.  Get the starter rebuilt.  Keep telling the alternator shop that it goes in a boat.  Check the batteries as well.

Hey all Ive got the 2019 25 LSV and added GPS via this antenna off Amazon :

https://www.amazon.com/Waterproof-Active-Antenna-28dB-3-5VDC/dp/B00LXRQY9A/ref=sr_1_1?crid=29DC3RJLFWXXX&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.G5vqAFzjK4LvGM17JIlc-g.2GnT84CL9HSh370u_0tYh_IiK0fk154GZRn169rYHew&dib_tag=se&keywords=Q1060+GPS&qid=1715103362&sprefix=q1060+gps%2Caps%2C128&sr=8-1

And used the Navionics SD card updated to the current map. 

It works sorta well, but every few times using it the GPS will show the boat in the center of Montana somewhere. When it does this i cant get it to reset. Even shutting off the boat entirely, waiting a few minutes, turning it all back on (Im talking shutting off battery switch and all) does NOT clear it. It will show the boat in the middle of the US.  Eventually, it clears up and starts working again.

This is obviously something I want to resolve before the next time Im navigating lake lanier in the pitch dark. 

Do you think its the s***ty $10 amazon GPS antenna ? Its mounted with clear view to the sky... Is there a better GPS antenna to get?  They are all made in china $10 s*** on Amazon, there doesnt seem to be any better unless you get a giant puck or shark fin for hundreds $$.. 

Anyone else having this issue ?

to add closure here my 2019 25 LSV scaled at exactly 8,000 on the trailer. That was with 10% gas, all ballasts empty ofcourse and a bunch of toys stowed in the lockers (tubes, life jackets, ect...)

Full on gas no ballast the 2019 25 LSV weighs 8500 on the trailer, so plan according to that.

I ended up getting a 2024 Sierra Denali 1500 which is rated at 8900 but should easily tow if a few times a year. If you wana go nuts theres the HD versions which tow 12-14K.  Added bonus for those that get the 2025 Ram Charger, I might do that when it comes out. I think I will let it come out for a few years 1st though and let Stellantis fix the bugs..https://www.caranddriver.com/ram/1500-ramcharger

The dealer locator says enter a postal code, not a state.    It works for me if I put in a ZIP code.   

Tommy's probably wasn't your local dealer which is why you are locating one.
