Question

My minnkota PD2 55 w/ipilot keeps shutting off when I run it on 8-10 power for more than a minute. I switched boats this year, and this never happened to me last year. That is why I'm thinking it has something to do with wiring of the boat. Last year I had the TM hooked straight to a single deep-cycle, and this year its just to the three-pronged socket on the bow, with factory wiring to the battery (2 deep cycles in a 12-volt system). When it cuts out, it totally looses power for about 5-10 seconds, then I'm able to get it going with the remote again, just frustrating since I use the TM 100x more than the outboard.
Also, at other times it has a hard time keeping the gps signal. I noticed last year when it did that it was on a low battery, but the battery indicator was showing 2 or 3 bars yesterday when it was doing it. So I guess maybe it could be the batteries (1 new this year and the other new last year).
