ELECTRICAL PROBLEM

Ive found most of my issues in recent past to be dealing with the terminal block on the transom of the boat, where all electrical components are connected. Look there, and you may need to tighten, spray lube, or loosen then tighten some connections for good contact.

Trim works, circuit breakers are good. I will check my wiring harness and connections. Thanks for all the help!

Thats what I figured too so I started checking again and found a loose wire on the terminal block. Went ahead and tightened all of the screws. Several of them were loose. Now everything is working again!!

Its a 2016 Cougar Advatage Elite. Just purchased it in May.

Yes, they must have a terminal block for the multiple wire connections, to prevent saddling or looping wire connections. We doubt this is a terminal block loose or corrosion issue on a 2016 model. The situation is sometimes the wires and connections into the terminals. Usually where the ultra small depth finder wires enter the butt connections or a spade push on. Then again it could be a power robbing depth finder. A voltmeter at the connection will determine that. If the incoming power to the unit is 12.95 then you have issues beyond the boat.
