Is this what your talking about
I run trolling motor on it's own battery / batteries . all other on one cranking, depth finders, lights .
My front depth finder wires won't reach my cranking battery in the back
When mine does that, the charge in the battery is low. Like eagle 1 said, it should be on it's own battery.
Here is what you need to do if you want it fixed right. Get you enough 12 gauge wire in black and red to run from battery in back to the front. Get you a blade type rubber fuse holder with the water tight cap ( should find one at auto zone) put ring eye on one leg of fuse holder that will go on battery then connect other side to red wire by soldering and heat shrinking or good butt connector crimped and sealed. Put ring eye to fit battery on ground lead tie those 2 together with tape or something. Give your self enough slack between the 2 so they can hook to battery, then hand over hand twist those 2 wires together loosely all the way up close to the other end. Tape those together in one spot just to keep them together. Then run them through the boat to where you need them, connect red to red and black to black and seal. Then hook to battery. You should have no interference after that.
Good advice above. If you should happen to have interference after that, there are further steps to take, but the first thing you need to do has already been mentioned above. There is some great reading on the humminbird site about this.

I replaced all the 12 gauge wire with 10 and 8 gauge.
had the same problem. HB worked with me to solve the problem, no cost. Took a little time tho. First sent me a ring for the HB power cord, no help. Then something for the trolling motor inside the removeable cover, no help. Last step was grounding the tm, that worked.
Like cray said.....it your fish finder needs to be wired direct to your cranking battery on its own wire.
ive done some research and I think im going to go with a small 12 volt re chargeable battery
Before you go buy that rechargable battery take your riding lawn mower battery and try it first if that is the way you think you want to go. This may save you the cost of a rechargeable battery if it doesn't clear it up.:twocents
Do what Cray says..Easier and cheaper
You need help with wiring I can help you. Just bring it to my shop I have everything u need to use to fix it heat gun shrink wrap and connectors. Might even have enough wire. Wiring is one of the things I can do.
Just let me know. I'm just south of Tupelo High School.
