Loss of Depth, RPM, Coolant Temp on Garmin

[Lori's Den]

On our way down the intercoastal from Hoboken to Miami Beach. Trip is going well. Just leaving Savanah, GA and the Garmin is not displaying Depth, RPMs, or Coolant Temp in the side bar. I seem to remember when buying the boat the broker said that when this happens it could be low on fluid. Anyone have some insight here .. not sure that I am up to read the 5,000 page Garmin instruction manual. Thanks

Just something to try - we just got our 2021 R27 and on the way up to the San Juans on our shakedown cruise, the Fuel economy reading on the Chartplotter just stopped reading, all the other readings worked.

It was suggested that we do a "hard reset" by turning all the battery switches to "OFF" (not while running). We left them off for 30 seconds, and when we turned it back on, it appears to have resolved the problem, and we didn't have issue the rest of the week.

If the fluid in the transducer is low, Ranger recommended in one of the "as the prop turns" videos to refill it with the pink RV antifreeze. On the R27, the transducer cup is below the step in the Vberth.

It sounds like you have lost data that is derived from different sources. I suspect it is a network issue rather than a single component. The hard reset sounds like a better fix. Another method may be to disconnect power to the entire unit and then plug it back in. Also check the connections to the unit and make sure all is connected properly and nothing loosened up.
