Finding the Cause of Noise

Electrical noise usually affects the display with many black dots at high speeds, and high sensitivity readings. One or more of the following sources can cause noise or interference:

Possible Source of Noise

Isolation

Other electronic devices Turn off any nearby electronic devices to see if the problem goes away, then turn them on one at a time to see if the noise re-appears.

The boat’s engine

To determine whether the boat’s engine is

 

the source of the noise, increase the

 

RPMs while the boat is in neutral and

 

stationary to see if the noise increases

 

proportionately; if noise appears when

 

you rev the engine, the problem could be

 

the spark plugs, alternator, or tachometer

 

wiring. Replace the spark plugs with

 

resistor plugs, install an alternator filter,

 

or route the control head power cable

 

away from the engine wiring.
