Something with the wiring...
GPS not wanting to pick up Satelites, takes about 30 minutes to find them, not seeing depth finder at all. When I put another unit of the same make on the boat it doesn't work either. When I take mine and put it on another boat it works fine.
When I hit a hard wave the GPS shuts off, however the cord is screwed in and locked down.
Radar is acting funny, and now the compass isn't working. Too much stuff at once to not be something screwy, I can't figure out what it is though. Unless I am just running my boat in the Bermuda triangle. Time to call in someone that knows more than I do. I am tired of dead reckoning again with charts and stuff, haven't done that in about 15 years. A pencil, compass and map is a PIA when trying to get home.
