We ran Hartwell the other day in some rough water, not real bad but a little bouncy. The Echomap would just shut off. I'd reach up, hit the power button, it would boot and in a couple of minutes, would do it again. Did this about 6 times before I just left it off until we slowed down and in calmer waters.
In calmer water or while actually fishing, the unit had no problems. Worked like a champ. When heading back in to the ramp the lake had settled down to just a mild chop, and no problems with the unit.
Checked all the wiring at the power source and checked the cables both power and ducer at the cradle. They checked fine.
Anyone have any ideas at what else to check... For all I know, it may never do it again.
