BLM,
thanks for the good advice. I am pretty sure that the problem is the two depth sounders running on the same frequency. I haven't been able to get out to test my theory yet though. Headed to CA to catch king salmon this week so it will have to wait.
My finder is powered directly from the fuse box under the dash rather than directly from the battery so there should be a good unbroken connection. The transducer cable doesn't come within 2.5 feet of the battery or battery cables and I have run the transducer cable seperate of all other cables along the inside rail of the boat. So that shouldn't be the problem. Hopefully when I unplug the boat depth sounder the problem will go away and then I will just add a switch to power it on when not using the FF. Thanks again for the help!
