    Default Ferrite Ring


    Does anybody have any pics of this installed . The directions may be clear to some, but i just want to make sure its in the right place. It says unplug the trolling motor adapter mrk us2 8 from the universal sonar and i'm just not sure which wire that is.

    They sent a pic, but im still confused!! Just not to savy on all this yet!

    Somebody needs to make a you tube video!!

    I suppose so...I bought this boat already rigged. It's a 597cihd wired to a terrova ipilot. Has the built in transducer on the TM. Its a war eagle predator and come from the factory already wired.

    I was having trouble with interfernce, but the noise filter setting help "A LOT" ! I was just going to put it on there since humminbird is sending it.

    Here is a video for a transducer and installing the ferrite ring , you would wrap the US2 sonar cable the same way:

    I was instructed by Manufacturer to make a Earth ground for power supply battery. Run a small wire from negative post to some where on outboard or drag in water then the battery is grounded. This will also cut down on RF. They also said to use ferrite ring. Seems to work for me. Just my 2cents
