LCX 25 Problem

[wplatehunter]

I have three GPS/depth finder combos in my boat. Two of them always stay on, but the LCX 25 turns off all the time. Sometimes even with the motor running. I have tried it with different power cords and it still shuts off. I also put my dads graph in place of the lcx 25 in my boat and his stayed on the whole time we were fishing. I am guessing the graph has problems and it is time for a new one. If its not getting enough power would a small lawn mower battery be enough to run it by its self. Just looking for ideas before spending money on a new one. When its stays on it works great, but it always turns off on less I am trolling. Thanks for your help.

A couple of things that you could try would be to turn off the other locators and see if that helps. Running a separate battery to the LCX 25 would be another good option just to see if it helps. The fact that it works great when you are trolling dose indicate that it wants more power. The unit is a 1500 watt locator and it is driving a color display which all takes power. That is why there is such large cooling fins in the back.
