HB 597 on troller is reading bad when in use but good when troller is not on?????

Anybody else have this problem??? Reads great until i start trolling again then the di and depth go crazy. Is this because of the thrust or could it be because the battery i use for hb is same a troller.

More than likely because you are using the same battery for both the troller and the HB.

Definately an electrical interference issue. First attempt to fix the issue is to run them to seperate batteries. If that does not work call Humminbird and they will give you a series of steps to attempt to solve your problem. Good luck.

hang in there feller,sounds like youve got the dreaded rf problem.good news thou ,you can stop it.youve just got to find it first.

Never run electronics off the TM battery. Everytime you step on the go button for the TM there is a surge. Electronics do not like surges.

Thanks guys. Are you guys running a regular 12v starting battery or something smaller like a lawn mower battery for ff.

if you have a motorguide trolling motor you need to run a ground to the skeg

If you have a cranking battery just run it to that. If you are running troller only look at Cabelas they sell a small gel cell battery pretty cheap and can get a charger for it also.

Well I tried HB on its own battery, turned the noise level up, made sure all wires were not touching, what else could this possibly be.

on my minnkoya i had to run ground from skeg to ground on the power cord this cleared it up
