Thanks guys...tried to sound like a reel author....

So today was a bust....I was behind a boat heading toward the mouth of the east end....tossed it into neutral when I saw the boat quickly turn around and head back into the marina...........I did a few donuts just inside the canal while I thought about it, I could see big white water cresting across the bay.......slammed a few waves when the Garmin started flashing and then went black on me....wouldn't turn back on, just blinked and turned off again.......God said "go home"........so I did.

Now I get to spend the morning troubleshooting that and my garage door opener. Always a positive side to things.

...it finally happened, there are no more secret spots

Mine will turn off if I really SLAM a wave. Use to happen a lot until I took a rag and jammed it tight under the unit . This past year only happened once.

No boat, back in the suds.
