2025 Cougar electronics

2025 cougar, livescope and graphs added at factory. After a few hours on the water, livescope shuts off when starting the motor. Today I Decided to order a lithium dedicated battery just to run black box and front 12” garmin only. Anyone run into this same issue with the factory wiring direct to the starting battery?

It’s a terminal loose or they removed the copper washer against the terminal block.

That AGM Battery and soldered #6 tinned chart wiring shouldn’t have any issues.

There is a terminal block on each battery terminal that has red and black caps over them. Those bronze blocks each should have a copper washer underneath them, against the battery posts. The main terminal block is on the transom, and it is strictly a battery lead connection to power boat independent accessories, and a ground distribution bar.
