All my updates have been done, all power wires have been run to the cranking battery. I may try to spread the pins to see if I get a tighter fit... Also make sure you have enough slack in the cables between the cable collector and where your cables leave the deck/console so vibration won't pull the plugs loose.

I had this problem after doing all the stated and it was in the cable collector. Is it mounted where you can reach and wiggle it while running? Took mine apart and tightened up the cables inside and fixed it.

I've run 8 guage from the cranking battery to the console. Everything looks good. Just got a new G3N in the mail so I'll install it tonight and see what happens on the lake tomorrow if the wind isn't too bad.

Looks like everything is good now. Hit some rough waves at 65mph and no shut down.

I had this problem after doing all the stated and it was in the cable collector. Is it mounted where you can reach and wiggle it while running? Took mine apart and tightened up the cables inside and fixed it. I had the same problem. There were some Helix 10's that had a problem with the case breaking where the collector snapped in. I found a thread on FB that covered it and got mine fixed. Another time it was not snapped in 100%, I took a screwdriver and used it against my bracket to make sure they were snug.

Would a smaller wire effect how the graph works/displays? I have a new to me helix 9 with mega SI, the pictures look kind of grainy/block like (like a early game arcade). Its new to me so i'm still messing with the settings, someone told me it could be a processor issue. However, the inline fuse I used I believe has 14 gauge wire on it, this is attached to 12 gauge that runs to the unit.
