Everyone I kick on the trolling motor my graph keeps getting interference, any ideas why? I need this fixed! Haha
put a Ferrite Filter on it to stop electrical interference !!!
Attachment 231215
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.Quote:

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.
where do yall get the wire to extend the power cord at?Quote:

You can buy wire at any auto parts storeQuote:

Like G said auto parts store or Home Depot or Lowes should have it in bulk where you can buy it by the Ft.Quote:

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.
hey I may take you up on that! I suck at wiring and know nothing about itQuote:
