Garmin 93sv & 106sv graphs

[John Andy]

Hi,

I recently purchased a Nitro and had a Garmin 106 SV installed on the bow and a 93SV installed in the console. The 1st time out while breaking in the motor we only used the console unit. It was perfectly clear like the demo and other pictures I've seen in this forum. Once we stopped and decided to fish for a bit we put in the trolling motor with the front unit transducer on it ......the picture not only on the front unit was unclear and hazy, the unit on the console that had previously been clear was now very hazy. The units are linked. We unpluged the link cord and still no better. I took it back to Bass pro service and they said the front unit had crushed wires from the original install and replaced the front transducer and I should be good. I got it on the water today and still not clear like it was previously and side view is really bad. If there is anyone out there with the Garmin unit that has any idea what this could be let me know. I'm wondering if something got fried due to them being linked with the initail crushed wires and both units are damaged. Wondering about some sort of transducer interference as well.

 

I cant figure out how to attach pictures to this post, but Sideview is a mess and "ClearVue" is not clear.....if anyone can tell me how to do that I'll post. 

I also have trolling motor interference even with the beads on the lines....Bass Pro installed.

 

Thanks, John

My 93sv came with a choke that you could coil the wires through (not sure if that's the power wires or the transducer wires) to reduce interference caused by the motor(s). I didn't install mine and have no issues, but you might try that. You can buy chokes separately if needed, and just do a little research on how and where to install them.
