Interference is caused by a few things. Direct wiring is a start. Also if it is a newer model may have a small 3 amp fuse under motor cap. check that fuse if it has one.
i would first do reccomendations that others have given and if doesnt work then call minn kota and get a interference kit will come with a few chokes one you wire in line up front at power wires for bowmount. a small donut which you make 7 wraps with universal sonar cable and a small choke which you wire at units power.
Hope this helps
How old is the sonar? How old is the electric motor? How long has the 2 of them been attached together? How long has the interference been happening?
Universal sonar is built into the trolling motor.
I'm betting it is the power issue. I actually installed a separate battery for my electronics and it has worked like a champ.
Try it on its own battery first. But most linely its the trolling motor #1 I don't like the universal sonar it does not display the detail as the ducer is not matched to the unit just my 2 cents after much research.
2 things can cause this The trolling motor has a feature in it that pulses the power off & on to save battery life you can try a fused ground wire from the battery to the big motor to cut down on this. If this was not a problem b4 & has just started then you may have some cracks in the windings in the motor or other issues with the motor.
You's gots a Minna Kota, Uh huh?
