I have taken screen shots and videos and sent them into humminbird. I have this issue when running 455 800 or mega hz range. Sent them in on Monday and they are still working on it.

Nope. I don't have any issues like that. It looks to me like interference. With all your electronics turned off and your motor not running does it still occur?

No ipilot on my boat, when big motor off and just vertical slabbing the issue is still there. Power supply is the fuse box under the consol just like the old unit I had. 5 amp fuse. Humminbird recommends at least 4 in the instruction Manuel. The issue wasn't there the first 15 or so times out. Now it seems to show up ever now and then.

Try wiring directly to the cranking battery with an inline fuse at the battery
