    Mega 360 Interference?

    When I step on the pedal of my ultrex all of a sudden I get interference on my 360 that I never had before.. how do I fix.. I run a Gen3 Solix and a garmin 10xsv with a Di trolling motor trans.. I had a helix 10 up there but I messed up the trans for the Solix and did t have a helix trans so I borrowed a buddies extra garmin and for the whole first day worked great then the next day I get interference sometime and now it’s ever time I hit the ultrex pedal

    thats not the problem.

    I am also having this same issue and I checked my fuse in the head, it is not blown, this is not the cause of this washout.

    Are you using the same onboard charger for both the cranking battery and trolling motor batteries? Your 360 is powered by the cranking battery (I hope). Your trolling motor is powered by the trolling batteries. A charger that connects these two separate systems together can cause this. Try disconnecting the charger from the cranking battery if that is how your boat is set up. If that fixes it, you need two separate chargers.

    If you are getting RFI through the charger, that is what this is for:

    Just to add to the fire I had the same issue. Checked everything I could think of. Checked everything others could think of. Finally just put a buddies transducer on my boat and it worked fine. Turns out there was a bad spot in my cable somewhere.
