I'm headin fishing for a week in a few days and it will be the first time using my new trolling motor and fishfinder. I have a Minn Kota Traxxis 45lb with Maximizer and an Eagle Fisheasy 245 DS fishfinder freshly installed in my 12' Lowe. I'm just reading through the manual for the motor and it says,
"With the Maximizer speed control, you may, in some applications, experience interference in your depth finder display. We recommend using a seperate deep cycle marine battery for your trolling motor and power the depth finder the the staring/cranking battery."
Now I haven't tested it out yet so it may be fine, but I don't want to get up there and have the fishfinder glitchy for a whole week. Has anybody had a problem like this? I don't want to have to haul around a second battery for the fishfinder.
