Re: gps vs bow thruster
change your bow thruster feed cables over to the engine battery - mine does it now and then and i just need to get round to swapping the supply over so the thruster isn't on the same system as the electronics

I had that issue with my 31 and did exactly as Tree suggested. Problem solved.

Re: gps vs bow thruster
shouldn't we be saying here that the gps supply ought to be connected to house batteries and thruster ought to be connected to engine bank? I'm trying to sort out the same issue.

Re: gps vs bow thruster
That is correct .. That's the same as Tree described, wire it to the Starting Bank switch not the battery bank itself.larryrotta wrote: ↑Tue Jan 12, 2021 11:52 am shouldn't we be saying here that the gps supply ought to be connected to house batteries and thruster ought to be connected to engine bank?

Re: gps vs bow thruster
Our 28.was setup with a group27 for the house and a 4d for starting. Switched it around so the 27 was the starting battery with the 4d for the house and didn’t have a problem after that.
