Electric Interferance/Fishfinder

[Guest]

I have a Humminbird 400TL fish/depth finder and a new Minnkota trolling motor. These are both hooked to the same battery.

Whenever the trolling motor is running, there is heavy interference with the fish finder -- hundreds of little fish symbols show up.

I've read a bit and it is indicated that I need to ground the battery or motor, but I am not sure how to do this. Has anyone else run into this problem?

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

You can get the ground wire free of charge from Minn-kota but wont always work. The easiest fix is to wire the locator to its own battery.
