I have a 2017 C 28. Yesterday after I started the boat and when I turned on the Garmin chartplotter, a message popped up at the bottom of the screen that said "low voltage". After a couple of seconds, it disappeared. Never saw it before. What should I do? Thanks.

According to the Garmin manual the alarm is for the Unit/House voltage. You could try checking the voltage setting for the alarm to see if it is set too high, ie goes off too easily. Barring that, I'd be asking how long the boat was sitting prior to this happening, if it was hooked up to shore power/battery charger on, if the solar was charging, etc. to determine if the voltage just got a little low while it was sitting but the batteries are otherwise fine, or if the batteries are not holding a charge as well as they should.
