I took a couple of screens shots of my DI and SI on the water today. This SS are with the transducer cable routed down the Ultrex steering cable. I have a RF choke and had the noise filter set to medium. It does look like I have some interference but it only shows up in water over about 35 feet, and on the port side of my SI. When I got home I routed my transducer cable along the Ultrex arm and I'll get some screen shots with it like that tomorrow. In all these shots I was on and off the trolling motor quite a bit and making some turns.
What frequency are those shots?
I put my screen shots up on my web site which keeps them full size. https://jefffeekin.smugmug.com/HB-in...ence/n-PW5d8H/
In this SS I got snagged and when in after my bait where the big hump is. I was turning through all of that which might account for some of the interference but I was not turning when I hit deeper water.
I know I had interference with my 1199 bird up front when it was run down the cable then swapped it to running down the mount like was shown here and haven't had any interference problems since
I work for a Marine Dist so when the Ultrex hit the warehouse I jumped on it. That being said I've had it for about 3 monthis now and I guess I'm one of the lucky ones I routed the cable down the steering cable with wire ties with no interference issues what so ever. My units interfere with each other but only because I routinely fish 40-60 ft of water. I don't even bother to turn the sonar off of the unit at the dash its not a big deal at all.
turn the noise filter off. it's may filter out info you actually want to see
this was my trolling motor interference even without the wires down the cable
i had to add the tmc1, ferrite rings, ground between batteries and getting the trolling motor internally grounded
this is what i get now with garmin and i removed everything i had added for the birds
Every boat is different and hit or miss. It all depends on how they're wired I guess

Don't worry Ma'am....
I'm only here for the Bass.
This place has about any size and kind you could want.
I use it a lot in rigging my boats. I even replaced that PIA stiff plastic jacket that covers the steering cables on the Ultrex. Looks better and a lot more managable.

Run it thru the coiled up cable running from TM head and doen the steering cable to unit. Not had an issue with mine. Also if you dont want zip ties get on Amazon and search cable sleeves and they a neoprene sleeve for $6.50that is exactly the samething as the TH Marine Troll Jacket that they get $30 for. The amazon version velcros and is reversible and can cut to length.
