Thread: Who's running the 360

Now that I know it won't go on my terrova ( thanks Rees) I am interested in the transom mount!

BobB I tend to agree on the retraction being fixed, haven't seen anything about it lately! I did send Kosmo a PM, he must be on vacation at the moment.

It didn't start until I added the 360 which included the 5 port Ethernet terminal. before I had a 1198 and 898 connected buy Ethernet using same TM. Have been over 6 months talking with Humminbird and trying different things.
Trolling motor is not connected in any way (no transducer, deferent batteries, wireing for each on separate sides of boat)
Started by setting the units to HIGH
next we put ferrit rings on both Ethernet cables at the unit and at the 5port switch
next we disconnected the on board charger from batteries when in use
next we installed a TM choke
I bought the heaviest extention cord I could find and ran to each unit and shrink tape every joint
Now Humminbird says talk to my TM manufacture (Motor Guide) Instead I ordered a MinnKota HA HA I'll show them (I'm in so deep now just as well add the Ilink)
I don't know anything about how the 5 port switch works but would like to try another just to see if it has something to do with it.
But waiting for the new trolling motor hoping it cures the problem

Good thing i'm Bald

Well, sounds like you should have a really great setup once you get the interference ironed out.......are you sure it's interference and not crosstalk?

If crosstalk is from one FF to another yes im sure. I have tried it with only one FF on at a time and have unhooked all transducers except the 360. Getting interference only when the 360 is connected. When the 360 is connected to only one unit no interference but when you go thru the 5port switch you get it.

One thing I read from another here on CC and mine is the same, when running FF on Max speed no interference but at lower setting I get it. I don't totally understand it but its like when on max you have direct drive, then the excess energy on lower setting is causing the problem. HA you can tell its over my head

I heard they are coming out with a new 5 port switch in Febuary. Might want to wait until then.

Rees, redge, or me? Which ones gonna buy first? Whoever buys first I think we should meet up at Sardis and try it out together. What y'all think?

I might be ready for a trip by then!!

Redge...your pm box is full...

Please excuse the hijack....
