    Most likely problem is a weak or insufficient battery or bad corroded connections.

    Most all depth finders have a low voltage alarm. Most will actually turn themself off if a particular voltage is not maintained and it sounds like this is what your experiencing when you crank your motor.

    Make sure you have appropriate AWG wire going to the power supply of the unit. ALL connections need to be tight and clean. Battery needs to be healthy.

    Thanks for the help. I have noticed before that sometimes when I start out early in morning it doesn't do it but that makes sense now. Thanks for all the help
