Unit powers off when motor runs.

(1/2) > >>

waterfish9090:
I have a helix down imaging unit on my trolling motor it works great however when I run the outboard motor it shuts off and I have to The power cable from the helix and plug it back up and then it works fine until I run the big motor again.  Does anyone have any idea how I can remedy this?

Jrsmith_80:
Does it shut off only when you start the big motor??  If so, Im gonna guess that the power loss from starting the big motor drops the voltage to low and kills the unit.  Mine used to do that until I switched it over to the trolling motor batteries.  Just a thought @waterfish9090

waterfish9090:
It doesn't shut off when I crank the motor but as the motor idles some then it shuts off

waterfish9090:
Thank you for the input.

Loose wire somewhere? Maybe the vibration from the outboard running is triggering it.
