[QUOTE="Superlucky, post: 464588, member: 24214"] Thanks for the replies, guys. I agree that turning the motor on before starting the Hummingbird is a fair solution, unfortunately, I motor into coves, shut the motor off and leave the Hummingbird on to see what is happening underneath the boat. In a perfect world, I would remember to shut the unit off before starting the motor, but I am suffering from "can't remember @#it" disease and I find the shutting down the GPS annoying. My 4 gauge wires are 14 feet PLUS the leads from the motor to the terminal block are 5 feet for a grand total of 19 feet. I believe that upping the wiring is prudent, even though it probably won't solve the Hummingbird issue. I have also considered the second battery option, but it would not be my first choice, because, as described, it too can be a pain to keep it charged...... Thanks for your thoughts Bill [/QUOTE]
