    Default 360 interference


    I am getting significant interference on my screen when the TM is under power. How can I alleviate this?

    Where are you pulling 360 power from? Where are you pulling Helix power from?

    Both the 360 and Helix run off the cranking battery

    Do you have an on board charger hooked to cranking and trolling batteries?

    Try unhooking your charger from the cranking batteries. Sometimes that can be a path for interference. If that doesn't work, make sure your Ethernet chord from the 360 is well isolated from the trolling motor power chords.
    Thanks John Doe thanked you for this post

    First want to say I appreciate you helping me out.

    I believe you are on to something. This boat is new and was rigged by the dealer last August. The boat is equipped with a three bank charger but the dealer forgot to connect the leads from the charger to the two TM batteries. I discovered this two weeks ago (yea - those batteries lasted many trips without a charge) and connected the leads. I didn’t note any interference till last weekend and today. But surely there is someway to stop the interference with the charger connected??

    Same reason I use a two bank on the trolling batteries only. Figure motor battery gets charged enough while running. If in doubt, I charge before fishing with a separate charger.
