Looks good Richard! I know you didn't need livescope to fill a livewell though. Congratulations, it changes everything you thought you knew about crappie.
After a lot of research and conversations with friends and several Garmin dealers we bought livescope. I got a 1222 chart plotter for the screen because we already did the mapping and scanning with the unit on the console. Again, after talking with 5 different Garmin dealers - 4 of them recommended to put the black box on a separate battery. Also, I had multiple reliable recommendations to use the 18v 12 amp hour milkaukee batteries as the higher voltage would provide better pictures. I know that some on here would disagree so don't shoot the messenger. After the first couple of outings fishing at least 8 hours I still had 17.1v showing on the screen. I have included pictures of my battery set up and some of the pictures of the fish from the first 2 LS outings.

Well done!
Milwalkee batteries cost too much per amp hour and requires you to buy adapter . I use a Lithium battery with 32 Amp Hours . It runs livescope 12'' screen and black box . mine ran almost 16 hours on one charge . i got it for 250 with charger and never drops below 12 volts . Charges to 16.8 volts . Even Garmin says higher voltage don't make it work better but low voltage not good .Like the light weight battery only 4.8 lbs . and no adapter needed

I know you will put it to good use. I really like mine.
Life is not measured by the breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.
Everyone sets theirs up to suit themselves. That's the beauty of it. I've got a dedicated 29 series battery that runs my unit and my box. 3-4 days of run time

Congratulations, nice box shots!!
I also have the 1222 touch.
I have learned a lot with livescope.
