I had my auto stop not working once on my boat, when It had always worked perfect? I noticed that the pull out switch for my nav lights was in ON position. I pushed it in ( turned it off) auto stop worked perfect? The switch is mounted to the same aluminum plate the downrigger is mounted on. I’m guessing the switch might have grounded to the mounting plate so when power turned on it messed with ground of the boat? I have since installed some rubber washers to isolate that switch.
Haven’t tried turning it on again when I’m the lake to see if it doesn’t affect auto stop now. Since I don’t ever downrigger troll at night the nav light switch isn’t normally on when I’m using downriggers.
If I can remember I’ll have to test my “fix” next time on the water.
Electrical things work in mysterious ways ?
