If I were to bet, power is the issue. Many threads on the BBC forums about especially the touch needing more power. Some are running a power wire directly to the battery. But also make sure your battery is up to snuff. Seems to almost always fix the problem. +1 Lowrance is sensitive to batteries that are even remotely near the end of their life. Mine was cutting off when I started the big motor when I got back in the boat this spring after being off for a couple months in the winter. One good long charge to the starting battery and it hasn't done it since.

Yep I rewired my entire boat to avoid having any problems. I had my 10 cutting off because of the factory wiring, then I bought a 12 and spent about $150 rewiring that sucker properly.

Sure it is either the battery, wiring problem or user error on this one. I would replace/check battery and take the advise on the wiring approach.
