Default Raymarine ST60 Power problem

I agree Greg with the diode. Without it, the cap is feeding the starter motor and the rest of the boat, not just ST60. The .5 V
drop won't make a difference.

Have the same ST60 system. I added a 3000uf, 60VDC power supply

you've installed the ferrite
filters on the lines from the depth transducer and also the power
supply.


If it works fine. I was going to suggest also a diode, but thats going to drop things .5 volt
or so. 3000 uF is wimpy but small in physical size but larger uF could be a problem with on switches.
