Curious how you know this for a fact?…. While I agree that’s what it looks like, I have also seen faulty ECOS switches and have had the need to replace two over my years of boating because they stopped functioning or weren’t reliable….

Let’s wait and see what the final investigation reveals about the root cause as everything else until then is simply assumptions with no basis in fact…
