I have a strange and very annoying electrical issue happening with my boat.

If I have my console GPS/sonar running and I crank the motor to start it the unit shuts off. It then wont power back up until the motor has been running for a few minutes.

It will also shut off if the motor is turned off and I turn on my nav lights. Again it will not turn on until I start the motor and run it for a few minutes.

It almost acts like the battery has to regain some charge from the alternator running for a few minutes before it has enough juice to run the combo. I know that is not the case, but...

I have my bow GPS hooked up to the same battery, and that one never turns off unless I do it.

The starting battery was brand new this spring.

Any ideas? Do I have something hooked up wrong? This is very annoying.
