I’m running a similar set up on my CX21. Lowrance Ghost, HDS16 at the console, HDS12 and Garmin 1222 w/ Livescope at the bow. I installed a custom wiring harness from BFE. I have a Power Pole Charge and four 125ah Ionics. I’ve never come close to drawing anything low.

These boats use factory 10ga to a clean power buss bar under dash.16ga from there to bow. I always run my own 10ga from back to front. Last boat I run 8ga. 10ga is plenty. $65 for everything on ebay.

I used the sea clear harness for my three HDS 12 Live and a Garmin 106 SV Live Scope, i use a 125 AH Ionic and in a 9 hour day of fishing it comes in at about 51% charged, now that is leaving all four units running all day. No problems at all with my electronics, those are pulling a lot of juice. I also have three of the 50 ahs Ionic for my 36-volt Ghost, the most i have pulled those down in a 9 hour of fishing on Ky Lake with a 15-mph wind was 90%, no problem at all going for two full days without a charge. For me i think i have the perfect set up, if i was fishing heavy current rivers i would probably get the 100 ah. I do believe the sea clear is the only way to go on running multiple graphs though, if i was rigging a boat today i would do the exact same thing.

You should be set for about anything mother nature throws at you then, you will love that CX 20, i absolutely love mine for sure and i have had them all.

This will totally work, and the 4-125s mean you have an onboard backup for cranking which is nice. I went with 1-125 and 3-100s and couldn't be happier.

Shouldn't have any issues I wouldn't think.

I've got 4 Ionic 125 AH Lithiums and the Power Pole Charge-3 of the batteries for the Troll Motor only. I'm in the process of redoing my rig but when its finished it'll have an Ultrex 52" 112#thrust 36volt si, Mega 360, two 16" Apex MSI, two Garmin EchoMap 126SV, two LiveScope LSV-34's and a Rite Hite turret along with two 8' Power Poles. The installer is going to use the 10 gauge wire at the drivers console for 1 of the Apex units and the other 3 units, the M360 and the Rite Hite will be forward. Because of this he wants to run 8 gauge wire to the front.

According to Humminbird the Apex's will each draw 4.4 amps per hour and the Mega 360 will draw .5 amps per hour
According to Garmin the EchoMap 126Sv's will each draw 3.0 amps per hour.
Depending on use the Rite Hite and Power Poles will vary as far as current draw.
I'm hoping that everything will remain powered for a full 8 hour day. I guess as long as I run the big motor for a bit at least it should to keep the LiveWell pumps running too.

Thinking about a 5th Lithium for just the forward electronics but now I build another issue-how to charge the 5th battery

I have the new MK 5 bank in my 23 model boat. Last year I had a MK 4 bank for my lithium’s and a single bank for the cranking battery. The chargers were tied together to make one plug in situation.

Heads up to those of you with the PP charge and Ionics, it's a known issue that the PP charge doesn't adequately charge the middle battery of a 36v series with Ionics, even with the latest 2.05 PP firmware update.

I just switched over from a PP charge to the MK-550.

It charges mine just fine. I’ve been running Ionics with the PP Charge for 2 seasons.

Good to hear, I'd keep an eye on them

3x 125's for the ghost I think is overkill. The worst I've ever seen my 80's down was between 30-40%. Most times it takes 2-3 hours to charge them up.
