I have a feeling that my battery is reaching old age (3 years old). I need to run a diagnostic test under load on that battery. Voltage is probably dropping below the needed threshold for that Garmin.

Thanks guys for your input...always great info on this site!
My switch panel and all my electronics are hooked into my trolling motor batteries. I have never had a problem with losing power. As long as you run at least a 24v system you wont have any problems
