I have changed the battery and it didn't help. It is a group27 marine cranking/deep cycle battery.

I think it might be a voltage drop on starting the outboard, but to have it drop out when the motor isn't running?

Open to any suggestions.
If it’s cutting off when motor not running you have a connection problem. First thing I would check is plug on back of unit. I have read where several people have had issues with that plug staying in. Then go down the line and check every splice and connection on power and ground wire. I’m betting you have a bad connection at one of those points. I would wire it up direct or like Jawjatec did his.
