Here is what I been talking about. Hard to get rid of this crap. Shows up real good when big engine is running. 997 has its own personal battery (not on TM or engine batt). I bout got it figured out. Sidescan and hemorrhoids go together pretty good.

You're trying to trick us Tom. I know what that is a... a stary sky.

Tom just box that think up. and send it to me. I will take it. And even trade you some 1/4 oz jigs and a Old Bird that you can use. The old flasher HEHE

I can't be much help on this one. Tracking down and correcting the problem at the source is a beyotch.
This is the one I have been talking about Keith. I am almost sure it is adjacent wiring crosstalk. Triton wires are run thru a common trough along driver side. No neat way to route wires. May can relocate battery and reroute wiring. No filter will do it.Quote:

Hope it works for you.

Pole, I have never seen that exact kind of snow on mine. I do have mine wired to the trolling motor batteries, and it goes to crap with the TM on. But I have the 997 at the console and it is rare that I use them together.
Do you suspect that snow to be coming from the crosstalk to the power cables or the transducer cable?
Worst case, just tell everyone that those dots must be small bait fish! hahhaha.
Good luck, as Panman said, chasing those ghosts is not fun. Worse than old trailer wiring.

Hell, taking a look at the pic again, the snow dots almost show a sine wave of there own. Strange.

hey tom move your trandsducer if it seems to be only when big engine is on and also run your power lines through some vacuum hose to seel off any interference
Cane- Wonder if the ground isn't right or tight?
Sounds like a question for Joby at Hummingbird!!!!!
CanePole,
By looking at the snap shot you posted I have a couple of questions.
1. Do you have another fishfinder on at the same time You are using the 997. This is what the right side looks like with the snow.
2. Where do you have the transducer mounted at? The left side looks like turbulence. Try it at a very slow speed and see if the screen clears up and make sure there is no other fishfinder on in the boat.
Please let me know.

Cane Pole, is your boat a deep V?

Ok that is on Todd's boat.. I know he was having trouble with it before.
Does Todd still have the other transducer near this one?
Also is it far enough from the motor?
Wonder if there something in front of it, On the bottom of the hull?
That or he got a bad transducer. Wish mine was the same. WE could swap out units and try that. If it were me. I would get Weezer to try it on his boat and see if it does it on there also.
Pete
It is Todd's boat. I believe I mentioned that I was working on others SI. This is one of them. I will get it all working, but it is aggravating to deal with these problems.Quote:

I have all the bugs worked out of mine that I know of at this time. It works fine now that I have the rooster tail fixed and Humminbird fixed the playback feature. If something happens, I will let all know. haha
Engine noise (at idle, prop not engaged) should not show up on the screen. It does. The 997 has it's own battery. Not on engine battery or TM battery.
Not so easy to accomplish. Todd has to show up with his boat again. He is about 100 miles away.Quote:

Tom I think if Todd would unhook and run the cables along the floor and try the unit. That would take and let him know if its other wires.
Also he has the little lake there he could try that out on. I sure hope he gets it worked out. As he liked the 987c-SI I had. And was so happy to get this unit.
Pete
We gonna try this pete. But fishing comes first.:)Quote:
