This sounds like you had pypilot, gpsd and signalk competing for access to the serial gps. I would remove gpsd from the picture by uninstalling it.
Opencpn is not a problem with its tcp connection. If Signal K has location O will most likely also work.
If the gps stops working spontaneously (without a reboot) it sounds like a hardware problem. I’d start from checking physical connections. If that does not help no name usb gps pucks are a cheap way to check if your current gps is faulty.
If the problems are related to reboots removing the extra processes from the picture should give you a stable system.
Yes, Signal K shows up as node process.
PS: when writing to the forum about problems like this please avoid phrases like ”it is not working” and ”restarting it”, because it is really hard to tell what ”it” is: Pi? Sk server? Gpsd?OpenCpn? (this is for everybody here in the forum, not particularly about your posts)
