I just bought an lss2 for my hds 7 gen3 and it pauses? It will scroll for about 2 seconds then pause for 2 seconds. I don't know if it is broke or or there is some setting in there I'm not seeing I was hoping one of y'all would have an answer for this

have you done the firmware upgrade for the gen 3? Scrolling shouldn't stop unless you've chosen "pause".

Did you buy a used lss2 transducer ? There is a chance it could be bad.

I don't have a box! It is hooked up directly to the unit and I ordered it from imarine new! I also did the upgrade me not having a 2d transducer shouldn't pose a problem should it?

Very well might (no 2d), I've read many problem threads where guys weren't using a 2d ducer.

I assume you're saying you bought an LSS2 transducer? Not having the 2d transducer shouldn't have any effect on it. I've forgotten to plug it in and all of the other features worked fine.

Tell me a little more about your problem? Is the side and down image what is freezing? or is the 2d sonar freezing? Do you have any map chips in the unit?

Every Gen3 comes with a sonar transducer. Why are you having to buy one? There should've been one in the box with it.

You can order/buy them without transducers.

the hds unit used to be on the front of the boat and I had an elite 7 chirp at the console. The hds had the spotlight scan ducer. I was fishing on fork and it was like an ocean and my trolling motor came straight down on a stump and broke the ducer. So I flipped the hds to the console and bought an lss2! And bought the bracket for the hdi skimmer to mount on my trolling motor! So now the 7 chirp is up front and hds is at console! And yes I do have the lowrance map sd card in there! The side and down scan both freeze in a perfect rhythm they will scroll for 2 to 3 seconds then pause for 2 to 3 seconds! Hopefully I cleared up what has happened a little better!

I had some weird graph issues that cleared up when I put a new battery on the boat. Check your voltage and make sure it's good.

So you are telling us the HDS unit used to be at the bow. Earlier you told us it was an HDS 7 Gen 3. I'm curious how long it was operating at the bow - since you say you have a Gen 3 unit which was released for sale only recently. Did it ever have any trouble there? The Lowrance connectors can sometimes be a bit tricky. The sonar will stop if it can't detect a transducer. I suggest you unplug the LSS2 cable, rotate the locking ring completely to the rear of the connector housing, fully seat it straight-into the HDS, then insure you fully engage the locking ring. I'm wondering if you really don't have it plugged in well. I do not believe that adding an (optional) 2D transducer will change anything.

If your HDS 7 is a Gen 3, it's practically brand new. Have you called Lowrance Support?

It is new I bought it last September and it worked fine when it had the spot light ducer! I've tried unplugging the ducer cable and rep lugging it in I'm gonna take my trolling motor ducer off this afternoon and plug it in the hds and make sure it isn't the unit!
