Garmin PS22 TR

[catchNgrease]

It's the unit with forward and down view that you change with adjusting the position if the transducer. It plugs to the graph by ethernet and it is powered by 12v. I used it for the first time yesterday and I really liked it. Here's the question. When I got ready to go home I noticed that I never hooked the ground wire up on the PS22. Where did it get its power?

Are you running it off of your starting battery? Any chance your boat is grounded and it was touching the metal somewhere?

It is running off the crank battery. I have seen signs that my hull was grounded. I think that the way the installer made the bow navigation lights work. But the black wire from the transducer was not touching anything. I am sure of it.

A metal boat is always grounded when you bolt the motor to it. (If its electric start)

That is the only way i can think of that it received power. Ps22 wont even talk to the unit without power.

I have to agree. When I get back home tonight I'm going to look at the ground wire again.

I tried to but when I cut the unit on it said the transducer was too cold...I didn't think that through. It was 3 degrees

On a pole or your motor? Lower into a bucket of water?

Finally got it warm enough with the sun. The black wire in front of the screen is the ground wire from the PS22
