Losing power in helix

[Tray]

Is anyone else having trouble with losing power to a helix 10 SI mega. Every time I hit a wave the unit shuts off and I have to hit the power button to turn back on. I have the wires in the plastic bundle adapter that attaches to the back of the unit. This adapter seems to be tight and snapped in but must not be making a good connection. I like the lowerance push and turn plugs a lot better. Am I better off taking the wires out of the adapter and plugging them direct to the unit. I can't keep restrating the unit on every bump.

Yes, a few are having this same issue with the Helix Mega units. I can actually wiggle the plug on mine and the unit will shut off. It's not a positive locking design. Have not heard of an adequate solution from Humminbird....

I have wire ties and/or Velcro holding my cables to the mounts - I have heavy ferrite rings on my cables, so I didn't want the bounce.

I contacted humminbird and they are sending out a new power cable. I just had to touch the cable a little bit behind the head unit and I would lose power. Hope the new one solves my problem. Leaving for Canada in 3 weeks.

What are ferrite rings that you have on your cables?

They are used for helping with interference.
