I am posting this for a friend at DEC.

The depthfinder on his sailboat works fine when he's under sail. 
However, as soon as he lights off the "iron main", the depthfinder 
indicator starts giving messed up indications.

The depthfinder is located 3-4 feet from the engine and is 
apparently well grounded. According to him, it is connected directly 
to the battery - not to the alternator system.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Regards,

Mark
