  1. Okay guys thanks for the reply's. Now that I know the problem maybe I can come up with a solution. Another question then, I have two batteries and a battery 1, 2, both, off, switch. I usually switch back and forth to start. If you don't have the electronics on the start battery how do you charge the other (house) battery since the outboard does the charging?
  2. I've got a Raymarine DS500X fishfinder. Every time, or almost every time I start my outboard engine (Johnson 175 hp 2 stroke) the fishfinder shuts off. Sometimes it starts eight back up, sometimes it does not. The hot wire from the fishfinder was attached to my accessories switch, then I changed it to my electronics switch, no change. I'm almost to the point of running a wire directly to the battery but I don't want to do that because the fishfinder power wire will stay hot ever after I turn off the battery switch. Any suggestions, this is driving me nuts!
