Could you have possibly bumped your remote? The few times that I have ever had this problem, it was my fault.

Be sure you know how to use the jog feature. You can really pick apart brush piles using it. I've had the spotlock for a few years. The jog really makes it shine.

Hey Troy, what brand is your bow graph? I have a Lowrance and I get a lot of noise when the TM is running. Tried the 2lb lead sheet between the transducer and TM but didnt help. Put a ground wire between the negative posts of one of the TM and starter batteries and that didnt help either. You having this problem?

its a helix...im using the humminbird transducer made for the trolling motor, it is already shielded.. I still get a little interference but nothing to bad.

The driving force and secret desire of every bass fisherman, is to one day be a crappie fisherman............Could it be that the good Lord just smilies and looks the other way when a fisherman tells a lie?

I never had any noise with this ducer on my old MG. So these MKs must really emit some EMI. But Ill dang sure live with it to have that spotlock and smooth steering.
