Have a look at this post<br /> http://www.iboats.com/cgi-bin/ubb/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=27;t=002448 <br /><br />Garmin seem to be getting a reputation here!<br /><br />I doubt whether it's the GPS part. That's a receiver not transmitter. More likely to be the sounder part as that is generating electromagnetic pulses. Try disconnecting the sounder transducer cable. Does that fix it?<br /><br />If so you could try to reroute the cable away from the VHF aerial & cable.<br /><br />Otherwise sounds like you should be talking to faulkemup99!

Not by any stretch of imagination is this in any way a Johnson or Evinrude engine trouble.<br /><br />Electronics.
