As I told you, it uses "AA" batteries. They last a long time, but I was told by a user that the units must be rebooted every 24 hours. The behavior you describe is similar to the malfunctions I observed on the 3 boats traveling from Seattle to Yokohama. If you contact the US Coast Guard, they will do a marine broadcast search and call all the marinas enroute. They will also want to know if you have a float plan for "Flying Pig." It will use scarce resources.
