    Trolling motor interference

    Hey guys! I am looking into switching from Lowrance units to Raymarine. I have a Minnkota Maxum 101 and plan on upgrading to a Ultrex soon. Was wondering if anyone has experienced any interference issues, like I've read with some other brands. I currently do not have any problems using my Lowrance unit. Thanks for any input!

    I ran a Ultrex and had no issues at all. Matter of fact I have never had issues with the Raymarine units and either Motorguide or Minn Kota.

    I switched from Lowrance to Raymarine back in the summer. My HDS 8 would show interference on the screen when the Minn Kota Terrova with Ipilot was running. I think it was related to the battery optimization MK uses. No interference at all on the Axioms!

    Thanks for the input aero320! Sure looking like I'm going to be the proud owner of some Raymarine units this winter!

    I've run Raymarines on Motorguide tours, the newer digital x5, and ultrex. No interference at all. Always had to fight interference on birds
