hello, i was out in the ocean yesterday cruising at slow speeds for awhile searching for bait. i put the boat in neutral and my motors & electronics turned off like someone hit a switch. electronics bleeped a few seconds later. i switched over to both batteries ( not sure what else to do ) and i regained power. when back at dock, i switched back to batteries #1. and it started no problem any suggestions ?? thanks in advance...john

I'd check both batteries and your connections. Make sure they're clean and free of corrosion. I would also check your grounds to make sure they are good.

Sounds like another members same post recently.

Perhaps same professional mechanic is common factor? (Just kidding - I hope!)
