The best way to find out is to turn your Fish ID off when using your downriggers. After it is off, do you see a straight line at the depth the ball was lowered to? In most cases you will see a straight line horizontal to the screen. If you are marking fish above that line, you are in the zone but I like to see fish below the ball. A lot of fish will look up with they are feeding, so in clear water I want my ball a foot or two above the fish but it depends on the lure you are running. It is not likely your trolling motor would cause that interference.
