Location: Stevens Point, WI | Typically if your unit is shutting off, it's either the battery isn't holding a charge or you have loose connections. If your having issues with your email not going through, call Lowrance. You may have to send the unit in. |

| Put a wet towel over the unit in the hot sun, and see if it runs longer. I had an X-85 that would do the same thing in the hot sun. Ended up putting a sun shield over it to keep the direct sun off of it. Heat is the enemy of all electronics. Sometimes the the heat just causes a component to fail. |
