Date is Bad and I can't change it

Not recommended to be using your AIS unit as your time and date source.
Why are you not using the GPS source like the GPS200 or the what appears to be a sat compass SSC200 as your source?

Because it gives that same date the date does not change, it does not matter what source I Choose
It looks as if your GPS200 has "rolled over" which causes it to output bad dates and becomes less accurate.
The SSC200 is a solid state compass and does nothing with GPS so that won't help.
Your FA170 is outputting the external data it is receiving as the internal data is for self timing and verification.
You should contact Maretron to see if there is a software fix for your GPS antenna or you could replace it with our GP340.

I agree, Maretron might have an update for the GPS to deal with the GPS roll over. Your devices are older and GPS rollover has occurred. The Furuno AIS likely has older software in it as well. In 2020, newer software was released for the FA170 to extend its rollover to 2032. As FishTech says, your main GPS source should be either updated or replaced and I would also recommend getting your dealer to update the FA170 software as well.
