you need to ground the power cable. put a meter on the wire going into the network to verify.

I would start here as JSARONSON suggests. Can you get a hold of Maretron's N2K Meter to test the physical cabling?

If not, if you have a DVM you should test as follows:

Maretron Support Knowledge Base :: How do I check the health of my N2K cabling before powering my network?

Thank you, arisatx. This document from Maretron should prove very helpful in diagnosing potential problems in the network. I'll keep a copy on the boat for reference.

Parakalo. The Maretron field attachable connectors facilitate testing with the DVM probes. Good luck and let us know what you find.
