Re: Trolling motor setup and sonar interference
that's a big battery just for running the sonar. have you looked into a small SLA for just the sonar?
motors will cause interference on the sonar usually due to grounding issues. I'd say run both with the blue top and see what happens, maybe some sort of filter will help. dunno
