[QUOTE="Ericb, post: 164076, member: 871"] Thought I bettet share a great experience with one of our local buisnesses. 3 years ago I upgraded my Minnkota v2 power drive to the I- pilot. From day one anything using the gps would send it into the wicked spin of death. Spent hours on the phone with Minnkota, they even sent me out a new head thinking it was defective. No luck. Posted on here and guywhoissmarterthanmewithelectronics suggested it was a voltage drop. I put a new plug in all new wiring still a no go. Mentioned it to Keith at Toybox when I picked up my boat the other day. He asked about a metal tube that blocks interference from the power cables. This was not included with mine or any of the instructions I searched on line. He found one laying around the shop and gave it to me.
