    Default RF Interference Was Driving me MAD!


    Thanks to mduncan62 I re-routed my transducer cable but the real kicker seemed to be two RF chokes around my power cord which is under the front console. Finally I think I’m happy! Thanks guys!

    I tried posting there when I was having issues but seems like the traffic on the stickies is SLOW and not many replies lately.

    You put the ferrite rings around the power cable to the trolling motor? Humminbird told me to put one on the transducer cable? I haven't had a chance yet to get on the water and test it but just curious about what you said.

    Yes I had them on transducer with no help so I re-routed transducer wire and moved them to the power cable. It worked for me. Tried the grounding the tm batts to starting battery trick with no help also but every app is different. Good luck!
