Is this a new install of the 360 or has it been operating correctly and the interference just started?
What changed? New TM?

New install, it did the same on my other rig and I never figured it out. Before the other rig died the 360 quit and I sent it in to be fixed, upon return it never got install as I had to change mounts on the new to me rig. Put it on yesterday and hit the water today and the interference is there when the trolling motor is on. I undid the ethernet cable that goes to the Link trolling motor with no change. The electronics are all on their own battery and in no way connected to the trolling motor wires.
Nothing, it has been on 3 different boats and three or four different trolling motors, has done it any every situationQuote:

Like going in reverse?? Motor is on the front and 360 is transom mount.Quote:

Is there a common battery charger that connects to TM batteries and electronics battery ...??

No sirQuote:

That is what Humminbird replaced when I sent it back. Heck if I know but sure am getting good images when the motor is off, love to have that all the time.Quote:

What would i ground it to?Quote:

I try making the negative sides of the battery common
Have you tried adding the ground ring to the Ethernet switch on your current installation? Does it still do it if you go from the 360 directly to the a unit with your Ethernet cable?
Maybe try it to the battery negative as well as the anode on the main motor. (Independently and together)
Does your trolling motor have a built in transducer that you might be using when trolling motor is deployed and 360 is on? If so, is it pinging when the 360 is also pinging?
Never thought of thatQuote:

Will check on these things when I get off the water tomorrow. Don't think it has anything to do with the internal tranducer in the trolling motor, it is always on and it only does this when the trolling motor itself is running.
See if this helps. https://www.minnkotamotors.com/suppo...erence-my-unit
The grounding checks will need to be tested on the water to know for sure if they make a difference.
