My 798 did the same thing. In my case it was the power connection plugging into the unit. All I had to do was bend the two prongs slightly to get a better connection. Never had another problem.

Thanks guys, looks like I’m going with the 60″ shaft. Love this site!

Thanks everyone for all the great advice. I think I will shop elsewhere for a boat. The other dealers weren’t to much higher than my original quote and they are closer to where I live.

Thanks reddog I tried what you suggested and it seems to work fine now.

I’m in.
