The LHS is not approved for installation on an amphibian or sea airplane. This is by Certification.
For a more technical reply; the LHS uses a laser based element; if the water is choppy with some ripples; it may provide a good range; but if the water surface is crystal clear; laser will penetrate the water and not bounce back correctly to provide a good range.
