Mine would do same thing, but it would be when I would get on plane sometimes the transducer would just lock up and freeze and not come back on when I would stop to scan. Either had to restart or restore factory sonar settings which meant I had to redo all my settings several times a day. Tried new transducer which did same thing so they just sent me new unit last week, so I am going to try that this weekend. Hope it works right.
That's what humminbird told me to do. An they said they've never heard of this problem. Yea,right. I've reset this thing so many times.
Haven't heard anyone else having this issue .... You either have a power problem or a problem with the unit that you need to talk to Humminbird about.

Well the number 1 question how is the unit wired? Direct to battery or through a fuse block using factory wires?

mine is wired with 10 gauge straight to dedicated battery (bought 5th battery just for solix because I thought power might be issue at first, also soldered wires) but power should not be issue I have good voltage. Please enlighten me on how to get better voltage then that..
Better give HB a call.
