Hi, need some advice on wiring on a 798. I have a 24 volt trolling motor wired to its own 2 batteries. I have the 798 wired to the starting battery. There are no other depthfinders on the boat. the wiring for the trolling motor go down the center of the boat. the transducer and power wiring for the 798 go down the side of the boat. The issue I am having is when I turn on the troling motor or switch speeds it changes the color or hue of the side imaging screen and I lose definition on the side imaging part. The wires are about as far apart as they can be put. Is there a protecive cover I need to get for the transducer wire? any suggestions

Don't take me wrong, I'm not anti-technology. Battery powdered items will always have their place. I'm mean you don't want your girl friend or wife in the bedroom playing for their gas powered adult toys!! That would be a bit loud and smokey!
That’s right. My 84 year old dad loves his electric chain saw. Light weight and quiet. Besides, at his age he’s not cutting a bunch. Where as myself I want something with more power and heavier duty. Look at how many people have switched back to gasoline cars after running one in winter if you travel a lot.
As long as my strike master works I’ll keep using gas. Maybe my next will be electric, but who knows, you can find used gas ones pretty reasonable as others buy electric.
I think electric items have their places, I just don't think large commercial jobs are going to be able to work well with them. Can't see a logging crew out in the woods all day changing batteries!
