Ok, asked here a month ago about this and the theory was quickly dismissed. I just talked to my friend again about it to see what he was trying to get at. Well, his argument is nothing to do with sonar transmitting from the tranducer, but entirely related to additional voltage put off from the fishfinder that ends up giving him a hot charge down the line. Now this I could believe. He claims they checked everything electrical on the boat, and it was the fishfinder that put the charge over the top.
So the argument that trawlers do so well could be offset by the fact that many/most probably use the blackbox. Same goes for many sports fishers.
So I have a request! Any chance that someone could check their voltage on a non-black boxed boat, with fish finder on, and fish finder off. Report the findings to see if you do get a aignificant charge off the finder. I'm still a skeptic, but there is definitely an argument if it gives off .1 or .2.....
