Thread: hds-8 keeps rebooting !

Hey guys.....I never said that it would reboot when starting the big motor. I know what ur talkin about as I have seen units do this in the past. This one will do it at any given time. Normally does it after use for a few hours.

We use the unit ALL the time while fishing....B/W graph up front on tm and hd8 on console. We will use both at the same time to locate us precisely on a piece of structure so hookin it to trollin motor batt won't work as it would most likely mess with the super sensitive electronics of this unit.

For as much as these things cost they are a POS !! Seems like the old 300 dollar units were much more trouble free. Dosn't seem like it....they were better !

Maybe you'd be better served by having someone at a boat dealership look at this. Sometimes having someone who works on "stuff" for a living look at the issue can make a world of difference. Enjoy.

I concur. I love my HDS8 and have never had it reboot on it's own. I've had it shutdown due to low battery, but never reboot. I'll offer $350 with now rounds put through it.
