Maybe check where the radio is picking up (+) power from. It may be a circuit that is temporarily disabled when cranking.

I think that is normal as all of my boats have done this.

after installing 2 bus bars,1 ground and 1 power,and 8 gauge wires,I took the boat out for a ride,all seem to be working fine and all gauge reading are now good with out any voltage drops/spikes.
Now why didn't the factory do it that way,how much could they have really saved.:rolleyes:

Absolutely true. A brand new Interstate 27 DC would not spin my 502 .

If they did, they'd have to raise the price by $8,000.

Seriously- most boat manufacturers spend their money on what you can see and figure it'll not be their problem by the time your half-assed rigging takes a dump. Blame it on the consumer than demands flash over quality.
