Osprey Rider Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 (edited) G'day Raiders, I just installed a new Eagle Seacharter 642 combo and when I have the motor (90hp Mercury 2st) running the unit freezes and locks up and sometimes it also switches off, but when the motor is turned off the unit works fine. Obviously I am getting interference from the motor so what can I do to prevent this. Edited January 16, 2008 by Osprey Rider Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jigholio Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 Go to Jaycar electronics & ask for ferrite cable clamps. They're those cylindrical things on all manner of communication cables. If you look on the back of your PC monitor you'll see what I mean. the ferrite chokes RF interference and EMI. The guys in the shop will steer you in the right direction. Cheers, Jig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flightmanager Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 Check the wiring loom for the sounder . In my boat , the cabling for my sounder runs down the opposite side of the boat to the main loom . You may need to relocate the cables for the sounder if they are running too close to the main loom .

Osprey Rider Posted January 15, 2008 Author Share Posted January 15, 2008 Thanks guys, I have run the cabling under the floor which is away from the main loom but i have conneted the power cables to the busbar under the dash which has everthing else connected to it. If that makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
