    I know this may sound too simple, but it has fixed my interference problems with a couple of units. Access your cables and move them to different positions and see if that helps. On my old Fortrex, I could just reposition the big cable on deck and fix it. On my current boat, after running in rough water sometimes, I have to access the bow and separate all the cables again. A few years ago I went through all the checks and stuff with no good result, and then separated cables under the bow and it completely fixed it. Hope it works for you.

    Also, I just found out that if you have a onboard charger, unplugging it may fix the problem.
