If installations are correct u should not have that type interference , if ur buddy's
boat is exibiting same , that's something I've never seen unless ur offshore & if I remember some squid exibit similar traces on screen I can't even say for sure .
Tuna are generally boomerang pattern & none in river at the moment !
I'm sure some electronics installer can answer ?
Some form of inference but same on both boats that weird !

I was the only boat in the area. The screen was blank, motor off, drifting for fluke. Jigs on the bottom already and away from the boat. Then the fish alarm and marks on the screen. Very strange.

I'm going to have to go with a school of bluefin tuna in the Shrewsbury River chasing squid in 10 ft of water.

As GREAT as this technology is, I still need a translator to make sense of it.

Attribute it to feedback issues then.
