I bought a LSS_2 unit to add to my Gen 1 HDS 5 and 7 and everything worked fine on both units until tonight.
I went to go fishing and when I turned on my HDS7 I get no source on the SS window on the screen. I look at my LSS-2 box and the power light is on, the sonar light blinks, and the unit 1 or 2 light will light up depending on which unit is powered up.
I connected all 3 yellow wires together from the three units so I could control the power to the SS unit with the power buttons on the HDS units.
The LSS-2 units is recognized in the menu as being there, I just don't get any data on the screen, just the words "NO SOURCE" when powered on and water temp, no depth reading and a scale of 5'.

I just figured that it is easy enough to just get a 3 bank so when the boat is not in use I can keep all 3 batteries charged. I have not bough a charger yet, maybe I will give it some more thought.
Edit: After thinking this over, with the size, weight, and heat output of the charger (as well as the cost) I think it makes sense to just
buy a 2 bank charger, I have a smaller charger i can use on the starting battery when the boat is sitting at home. Forgive me, for i am a retired engineer and I have to obsess over everything...
Congrats on the motor! I think you’ll like it.
I can’t say much on the charger location but I’ve seen them under the lid in back compartments and under center rod lockers. 160 degrees is more than I expected to hear.
Curious why you’re opting for a 3 bank charger with a 24V trolling motor. Unless you don’t feel you be running you big motor enough to keep that battery up as well?
I did buy an Minnkota Ulterra, thanks for the recommendations. I had a bunch of Cabela"s bucks saved up, which helped. Now i need to
get an onboard battery charger. Where do you guys mount these things in your boat? The manufacturer I am looking at {Noco genius)
says tht their 3-bank charger will run at 160 degrees, seems like a lot of heat in an enclosed compartment? Thanks for any input on this.
Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe. I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho. Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.

What could be wrong?
