@Zush350SS , Welcome to iboats...I/m just sort of wondering here, Is Paul a friend of yours or something?
A few questions to inquiry about would be,
1, Are the service techs/managers talking with Mercruiser service tech support for guidance?
2, Which Personality option are they using? Is the correct one for your Gen 1 system verses the Gen 2 system being tried?

Mercruiser then sent the correct “vessel personality”software and then behold the IMU, (which if you recall was the original error)was still displaying the IMU fault. Finally the IMU was replaced, and the system is finally working as advertised...,

3, Is the correct number of turns being programmed into the system which matches your boat manufacturer...,

To confirm your steering range from lock to lock, ensure that the starboard engine key switch is on. The engines do not have to
be running. Turn the wheel to starboard until the wheel stops at the starboard lock or end‑stop. The end‑stop is electronically set
by the electric motor attached to the steering wheel. Begin turning the wheel to port and count the number of revolutions until the
wheel stops at the port lock. The number of wheel revolutions you counted moves the drives from the maximum starboard angle
to maximum port angle, with the center (straight‑ahead position) being 0°. The maximum steering angles are controlled within the
vessel personality developed by CMD and the OEM.
In certain situations the electronic end‑stops of the wheel are not felt. The absence of noticeable end‑stops does not affect the
steering. The drives will still stop when they reach the full turn position at each lock. The absence of end‑stops can be the result
of the starboard key switch in the off position, a low starboard battery voltage, or a steering wheel motor fault.
Your vessel's personality, as developed by the vessel manufacturer in partnership with CMD, determines the number of turns lock
to lock. Typically, this is approximately 2‑3/4 revolutions of the wheel. The OEM may request different lock to lock settings for
other boat models
4, Has anyone performed a Power Down in order to try a Reboot Process Plus follow the boat/engine power up & down sequence just to see if it may help..,
When Axius goes wrong...
The Starboard engine power source is the master side should be powered up and last "first" to avoid many potential issues.
5, Is it sure the correct part number match to your engine model was ordered and installed + correctly programmed Engine Computer Controllers (No Mix-matching MAG vs HO controllers For example),
