Skip & Marty,
I believe you may have hit the nail on the head regarding the EZ Anchor Puller affecting the meter.

That windlass uses a ton of juice and if I remember correctly it only affected the meter early in the trip Thursday.

After we ran the boat for awhile (and charged the batteries) the puller stopped blanking out the meter.

The funny thing is, it only affected the fish finder. The chartplotter and side scan functions were unaffected when operating the windlass.

I'm going to throw the charger on it and try and figure out what is causing all the static and interference on the fish finder. If it is a damaged through-hull, I'm just going to suck it up and rely on the Down Scan function for the rest of the year. I'm not about to pull it back out and lose another 2-3 weeks of the summer getting a transducer changed out!

Thanks,
Tawn
