V20 wiring

Occasionally when I crank my motor it will kill the power to my switch panel so I’m guessing it’s somehow connected through the ignition. My question is can you run a separate power cable to your switch panel so it by passes the ignition so you can turn it on and off without having to turn on the ignition first and do you think this would solve the problem?

Any chance your battery could be running low? Sometimes when you power down fish, use your poles, graphs, live wells etc for a long time then go to start the motor this could happen... Particularly if your batter is a little weak. Just a suggestion

Yes I 2nd Capt. Legend. My boat was doing the same thing. I had new Optima’s and gave those to friend. Great batteries, but just not good for my set-up. I now run Relion Lithium batteries (5) and all 4 graphs, Sirius radio, livewells on ALL day with no issues.

Maybe I will have it checked, its only two years old but stranger things has happened.
