In the middle of an all-day cruise, suddenly the XM Sirius radio goes off, as does all of the electronics (chart plotters, radar, autopilot, etc.). Comes back on in a few seconds. I had to reboot all the electronics to get them up again, but no damage done (everything worked fine the rest of the day, anyway).
What could make the 12V system "brown out" like that? This has never happened before in 2 1/2 years owning the boat. The XM radio isn't even on the same circuit breaker as the electronics, so I'm pretty sure it was a whole-system issue.
