Crickets…

Model year 22–23 Malibu Wakesetter/M-Series and Axis with engines built from December 1, 2021 thru January 26, 2023 require an ECM calibration update which changes timing and crank duration (service bulletin SB_02MC_041923).

Another cause for crank-no-start issues I've seen on these models is from loose fuel filter canisters that prevent proper starting fuel pressure.

I wish I could remember exactly how he phrased it, but it works sometimes and can’t connect during others. 

That doesn't really make sense to me.  A solid-state device with no moving parts.... 

I suppose it could have a cracked solder joint, but I would hope that they could check for that.  I would check at the board interface to the connectors first, and maybe resolder them.

Yep, plan to top off batteries and check connections I can find.  Not sure why a reboot when stationary seems to fix it at that moment, but also know they are overly sensitive to any electrical issues.
