- 2004 Mainship 400
I recently experienced loss of my GPS electronics when using my bow thrusters to maneuver my 2004 Mainship 400 when leaving a boatyard and then upon entering my slip at my home marina. Each time I used the bow thruster, the GPS would cut off and automatically restart on its own.
I have not yet tested the main two large batteries that seemingly run everything onboard. I do have a small battery in the lazarette for the generator. Question. Is there another battery just for the bow thruster or is it wired directly to the main two large batteries?
Let me know your thoughts and steps to take. I purchased the boat in September of 2019 and I am not sure how old the batteries are.
