    126 Ultra 2 LVS connections...?

    Dumb Question:

    I'm installing my new LVS system (126 UHD2, GLS 10, LVS 34). Do I need the power connection / cable to my display or is power provided to the display unit via the GLS 10 module?

    thank you

    The black box and the Ultra both require their own power through the included power cords. A lot of people also wire the power through a on/off switch.
    My wife asks if I'm going to fish every day. I can't fish every day. Some days I might be sick.

    Seems that an on/off switch is needed. Son installed his combo and after 5 days of the boat just sitting there his dedicated lithium battery went down 20% of state of charge.. ?? Or is something else going on? thanks.

    Something else going on. No way they would drain that much. You shouldn't notice any change in 5 days.

    Damn, called Garmin, 2 hour phone wait.

    Only other thing he put on the battery is this monitor.. Is this thing for state of charge??

    I bought two of those and tried them. They seem to be well recommended but I didn't find them to be accurate or useful. Sent them back for a refund.
