[QUOTE="TNtroller, post: 301594, member: 4251"] I could probably get 2 hrs of trolling time on high with my set up. If you are getting interference on the SS/SI unit from your 15hp, I would check your electrical connections first. Maybe a vibration & loose connection but one never knows. I would also try moving the xducer, or adjusting it a bit if possible before doing anything else like a bigger TM or more batteries. It's not unusual for the lower unit to block the SI beam, and lots of people have to raise the OB a bit to resolve that issue, you can try mounting a "mounting block" on the transom so you can experiment with TD locations without drilling a bunch of holes in the hull. If the interference clears up at 6mph, then its a water flow issue (distrubance/air bubbles) and moving the TD to smoother water should help. You could try raising or lowering the TD in its bracket a bit if all possible to find smoother water. [/QUOTE]
