We took our first cruise this weekend with our Yacht Club. Not five minutes from port the E120 display blinks off and then back on. I switch on the radar and find that its in-op. I restart the display and all data displays fine but it shuts down with in a few mins. I'm thinking its time for the old "Break Out Another Thousand" axiom. When we got to our destination and got settled I decided to check terminal connections, fuses and grounds for corrosion and signs of moisture. Sure enough, cleaning the fuse terminals and exercising the connections up on the radar mother board fixed everything! On the cruise home everything worked like new. I never really saw anything obvious, just some minor oxidation but that's all it takes some times. Thought I'd share in case anyone else has issues after the boat has sat idle over the winter.
