May change my ways. I checked and found an HDS-12 Carbon draws two amps with backlight and sonar on. Doesn't take much of that to kill a battery. On another note, If your front graph uses the sensor in the back of the boat for sidescan, I think you need the network connection from the console unit....yes? Yes, you do need the networking for some other features/functions. But, my understanding is that the Standby function idles only the local display and "sonar" (where I believe that it will end up meaning 2D sonar). It shouldn't kill the networking function, and I'm betting it won't stop StructureScan either. How about testing it and let us know? Correct...putting the console unit on standby does not effect the networking at all. Turning it off will effect SI, DI and mapping (if they map card is in the console unit).

If I turn on all four graphs that are networked with Ethernet and NMEA2000, then I turn on the sonic hub for some tunes, why does the sonic hub turn off if I turn off any one of the four graphs? If I turn on only one graph, then activate audio or video from the sonic hub, if I then turn on a bow graph and turn it off, it turns off the sonic hub via NMEA2000. Eat. Sleep. Fish.

I do this often on my Carbon units. I put the console on standy and have my bow graph running sonar and side/down scan while fishing. Works out great and saves some juice.

I think this is due to the NMEA power and which unit has it connected to it main. The sonichub uses it's powersource, but when you activate a graph the NEMA powers on and causes to power linkages. Don't quote on that, but I think I remember seeing a diagram on this a great time back. You may need to call Lowarance and walk it through with them.

I don’t have a sonic hub, but I’m pretty sure that there is an option (maybe in the advanced menu) that tells the graph To or Not to control the sonic hub. You might play around with your graphs until you find that option and then only have 1 of the graphs controlling your hub.
