Bad Habit

I've been wrestling with an interference problem between my fish finder and VHF radio for a while now. I get a distinct "pinging" on a couple of channels on my radio when the ff is on. I have them hooked directly to sepperate batteries on opposite side of the boat. The antenna is on the same side as the radio and the transducer is on the same side as the FF. No where do any of the wires cross each other.There is added lengths of wire on both units to reach the batteries. Should these wires be shielded? Is there any way of telling if the wires that are used now are shielded? This problem has been driving me crazy, Thanks for any advice!!!

I connected my depth Raider probe like the pic Sponge shows. I also coated all the bare metal on the crimp and swivel with liquid tape. I've had the probe down to 120' and it reads fine.

If any one is looking for an observer for the Sodus Pro Am i am available and would be willing to go. If it matters, I am registered in the Summer LOC. Drop me a PM and I can get back to you or give me a call at 943-8682. Thanks, Rick

Where are you located? Do you know what happened to the motor or what it might need to fix it?

Boat Name: Bad Habit 25' Maroon Regal Also dock at Mayers Marina on Irondiquoit Bay. Just a "Weekend Warrior" looking forward to getting the boat launched in the next couple of weeks!

I know Bass season opens the 3rd Sat of June but is it legal anywhere in N.Y. to fish "catch and release" for Bass before that date? I had heard there was a proposal for this but can't find any recent info. Thanks.

I was wondering if anyone uses inline planers such as Yellow birds instead if planer masts and boards when fishing for Browns. I want to do some early season trolling from a smaller boat and don't have a planer board setup. Thanks for any help.
