Went to KY lake this weekend and the 898 at the console kept shutting down. I unpluged it and checked the two small screws in the wire holder and even checked the wire holders screw in the back of the unit. Any ideas?

Check all wire connections... Even at the battery...
Look for corroded terminals and corroded fuse connections..
Might even check the battery for charge... Units have a minimum voltage protection that will shut them off...

I had that trouble, the plug in the back was not screwed tight, did it by hand. Used a screwdriver to tighten it, had no problems since then.
I had this problem and battery was bad and voltage was dropping to unit. If voltage gets low to a certain point the unit will cycle off to protect itself. Good luck.
Had same problem with mine. Dealer had run positive lead to fuse box under the console. I re ran the positive wire from finder with a fuse directly to positive side of battery...fixed the problem. Good luck
I had some issues with mine at first too, I had wired it into the fuse block under the console to start with. After much frustration, I ended up running both a power and ground wire straight to the battery (Just be sure to put an inline fuse at the battery end). Ended up being the ground wire on mine that was the issue. The ground in my fuse block goes through a couple of quick connects in the wiring harness before heading back to the battery...
Haven't had an issue since.
