[QUOTE="weedy1, post: 155781, member: 1299"] I had a Lowrance depth finder hooked in to my starting battery circuit and ignition switch. I had trouble with the depth finder turning off when I used the ignition switch to start my boat motor. Good friend informed me that problem was caused by the short term minor voltage drop that occurred when the motor starter drew on the 12 volt (size 24) circuit. I fixed the problem by running a separate set of wires to one of my trolling motor batteries ( 2 size 27's in series for my 24 volt trolling motor). I also added a switch in my dash to the new wiring to make sure I didn't have a hot open circuit when the depth finder was unplugged. Worked like a charm! [/QUOTE]
