My wife and I went out last night and were cruising around 3mph and suddenly there was a huge amount of static through the speakers. Since we were on bluetooth streaming it was concerning. The fish finder also turned off. Motor never shut off. Anyway I shut the radio off. it happened again and the radio said something about voltage, but I couldn't read it all before it went away.
Anyway I spent time trying to find a loose wire behind the console. I finally discovered the positive battery cable was loose. I tightened it and ran it for 3plus hours without it happening again and no ill effects that I can tell. Radio and fish finder work perfectly.
First question is could that have caused the problem?
Second is there any chance of damage that I haven't noticed yet?
