Well, the engine upgrade from 90 hp to 115 hp Yamaha now causes the HB 997 to shut off at crank up. Only the 997 shuts down. The Lowrance LMS27c stays on and the Vexilar stays on. All are fused from the same distribution point. Hmmmmm.
All new everything including power cable noise kit for HB.
Maybe I need to add one of those 1 farad capacitors like the trunk thumpers use.:eek:
It never ends.
Check the setting on 997 I believe you can lower to some degree what "low amps setting is" that shuts off unit. May help....
Been a while since I turned the thing on. I gotta re-train me.:o That is a dumb ass setting to have to adjust.Quote:
