[QUOTE="Superlucky, post: 466301, member: 24214"] As you may recall, I had previously posted that my GPS/Depthfinder would shut off when I would crank the motor. My previous setup was a group 24 battery in the bow of my 16 Gregor Alaskan. I had run 4 gauge wires from the battery to terminal blocks at the transom. Based on some excellent suggestions from this forum, I elected to upgrade the wires and battery. I ran 1 awg gauge wire from the battery to the transom terminal blocks. I also swapped out the group 24 battery for a group 27. I am pleased to report that this has solved my GPS shutdown problem. The GPS unit does not even flicker when I crank the motor. Thanks for all the help. My boat is finally finished! Best regards Bill [/QUOTE]
