Unfortunately the hole system i very sensitive too voltage drop. No more running it down to 10 Vdc. I assume you problem Helix is connected to the battery thats also used to turn over gas motor thus a potential for major voltage drop and this new system w spot lock, automatic navigation features only work with minimal voltage drop. Here now how long and what AWG are your wires. Length causes voltage drop, every time it's doubled the voltage drop doubles. Every time y increase the wires AWG voltage drop goes down. I.E. 10 AWG can carry 2ce as much current then 14 AWG. The whole system fishfinder, trolling motor, batteries, hand remote all are very sensitive to voltage drop. Also call Hummminbird and get there input, good support.
BTW don't use the Lake Master Mapping software, its crap o thee lakes in NYS, had better luck w Navionics (just me?)
