    Helix 7 G2 DI/SI Unit---shutting off

    On a couple recent trips, I have had an issue with my unit shutting off while I am traveling down the lake. I am not hitting any large waves, just normal bumping. Any ideas how I can stop this issue???

    Thank you
    Dave

    Check your electrical connections.
    Check the voltage readout to see if your outboard has an excessive charging voltage.

    I have the same issue. Sometimes I find my power wire has fallen out.

    I’m having similar issues. Seems vibration is causing to power cable to loosen. If I reseat the cord, it comes back on. Let me know what you find. Thanks!
