Ok heres my set-up....

I have a Lowrance HDS10 and Lowrance HDS7...I use the 7 strictly for mapping, but it is run into the LSS1 via ethernet...HDS10 is used for sonar and side imaging and also connected to the LSS1 via ethernet.  Both units run to one main fuse panel with Power down which all runs back to a Main battery (1000 CCA).  I had the battery load tested yesterday because I thought it may be the problem, but it tested fine.  Both motors on my boat run to that one main battery...

Heres whats happening....When I troll with my 20hp Honda or run the 150 Honda, the units are fine....If I turn the engines off and start casting or drift fishing, after about 5 minutes, the HDS-10 begins to flicker like crazy and the internal Lowrance voltage meter is saying 9.5; However, when I put my portable voltage meter on the battery direct, its reading over 12.5 output.

Could it be interference through the LSS1 box?  Everything is tight at the battery....Any ideas??

Thanks!
