I bought a boat about a year ago. It has the terrova with us2 and 597cihd.... Has the fancy built in transducer and all that. Im not electronic savy at all, but read about all that was supposed to be free of interference.
When i use the tm, i get multiple verticle lines show up on ff.... It works fine other wise. Even when drifting and i just bump the motor on for a second i get one quick vertical line.
Anyone got a suggestion? Thanks
probably need a "choke" on the wires but I'm not an expert by any means. Search for choke and see what comes up for ya.
Will do.. Thanks.. Cause i aint got a clue!! Maybe somebody else will chim in like.... Ummmmmm humminbird greg!! :)
Read this...Humminbird: America
Then call HB 1-800-633-1468

Thanks!! I hope the noise filter setting is the problem..The pics are helpful, but i still don't see the fuse in the first picture.Quote:

When I bought the boat it all was hooked up from factory. I know that just because it was done "professionally" doesn't mean it is right. I do know that neither of my FF'ers will come on until the power button is on....but the trolling motor will run without the power button on.....SO, that should be right??????Quote:

I called today....the noise filter helped a BUNCH...but with the setting up higher, it made my depth jump around and very unstable.(Not sure if it will do this on the water??) They are also sending me a ferrite ring.....Hope the installation instructions are easy........:biggrin
Are you testing this out of the water...??
Depth readings of any sort "out of the water" are not an indication of much of anything....
Sonar only transmits thru liquid media....water...
Test on the water and then post back...
Rickie
Yes.....out of water, Thanks...goin out wednesday. Will report back! Goin to put the ferrite ring on anyway i guess since they are sending it..... If i can figure it out! See different thread:biggrinQuote:

Rickie

Just wrap it as many times as you can get it thru the ferrite ring....
Rickie
Thats why im confused...the plug in pic runs from trolling motor head, down shaft, to the plug in pic. Then goes from plug in pic to Fish finder....Is this not the right spot to unplug and wrap?
Or does it just look like it runs to FF and just enters boat under the ff?
Sorry for being a pain on this....I'm just getting conflicted info, cause i don't know these wires that are mentioned in the directions.
According to what Greg indicated the instructions say to wrap the cable on the TM side of the gold plug seen in your pic...(this is the actual US2 Xducer cable coming from the foot of the Terrova, up thru the inside of the Terrova, and then to the depth finder)..
I would ...::
*unplug the gold connector in your pic...
*pull approximately 24" of the cable (from the TM side) thru the ferrite ring...
*start wrapping...
*reconnect the gold plug
Is there going to be enough cable for you to do this and the Terrova still deploy and stow properly..??
Rickie
Yes there is about 3 or 4 feet wrapped up in the "main coiled" wire on the trolling motor..... Thanks a bunch...sorry to be a pain!Quote:

I had the with my new 597 HD di. HB sent me a new power cable with a built in filter. They sell this cable for $35.00. I told them I had just purchased the unit, (HB has been aware of the problem for sometime) and if they didn't want to correct the problem by GIVING me the PROPER new cable, then I would just return the unit to BassPro and buy a Lowrance unit instead. They sent me the new cable with filter at no charge.
Hit the water today and the ferrite ring done the trick... I was even able to turn off the noise filter and no interferenceQuote:
