On my trip down Monday finally got my TM fish-finder wired up. So I thought? Pretty sure this is interference from something? I ran the power back to my console and wired in with the existing console finder. The transducer wire is run up the exterior of my TM not coming in contact with its wiring until it's run over to the TM plug. Any quick suggestions? Attachments:

Do you have two depth-finders running? That looks like it could be interference from another unit. If both are running at the same frequency, then you're going to get interference. Turn one off - or "stop sonar" of one and see if it goes away

Yes I do have two depth finders running, one in the rear and one TM. I'll give that a shot.
Just wandering what is the technical reasoning for this?

Can I change the frequency on one of them?

Most likely - most sonars are dual-frequency these days.... not sure what units you have or what transducers, but typically they are 83/200 or the like.....
The Lowrance 83/200 xducer has a wider-cone on the 83 frequency and a narrower cone on the 200 side.....

That was the problem except for a little interference when turning hard with the TM. I think that is from the vibration. Thanks again.

Glad to help. The TM interference is likely from cavitation from the TM prop when turning hard

My thoughts too on the cavitation.
