Well after wiring the ff all by itself and still having the issue, though not near as bad as when I got the boat, I broke down and bought a Lowrance Elite 7X. Wired it up to the dash as the previous ff was just to see what would happen and BAM, worked like a charm. I am really liking the Elite 7 too, almost like watching a black and white TV on the down scan. Did not mark or catch fish yet but I've only been out once so we will see. Thanks for all the replies [URL=http://s1022.ph otobucket.com/user/raptor80dad1/media/cc0248a7-c189-464f-8df6-

Miket, I just installed a smaller Lowrance mark 4 but the downscan is really nice, you can see what's down there now with good detail. They've come a long way from the old spinning light Sounders I remember as cutting edge technology back in the day. I see logs on the bottom now.

You don't need that speedometer anymore huh? Didn't work. GPS on phone works great. Trading the Elite 7x for the Elite7 w/plotter. Not sure if it has a speedo feature but it should. 2 Weeks after I ordered the 7x the 7 drops to the same price.

Thought the elite 7x had plotter? You have to have gps plotter to get mph. Unless you get a speedo transducer.
