Did the unit come with a strap to mount the transducer to a bow mount electric? Most units do... If not there is probably one available for the unit as an aftermarket accessory or accessory from the manufacturer... Regarding the transducer wire, just wrap and rout this up the front of the bow mount motor shaft so when you pull the motor up and secure it, it is not going to get in the way. You could cable tie the cord down near the bottom of the shaft and one up near the top where they wont interfere with the motor bracket when the motor is positioned up on the boat.

Hi, well the best thing to do is to add suppressors to your spark plug leads, OR get Suppressive Spark Plugs, themselves, (Recomended) and Capacitors on ALL Positive Connections to Earth
I recommend , 0.1uF 500 V AC CERAMIC, or Axial Polyester Capacitors.
Capacitors DO NOT conduct DC, therefore, ONLY the AC "Hash" component of the signal is affected. the AC flows through, the capacitor, and then to earth.
Also make sure you Earth connections are good and robustly attached, to clean metal surfaces, and then cover with Petroleum Jelly.
You can get suppression Capacitors from almost any Car Electrical place or a Auto Electrician. They are easy to fit, and make a huge difference.
You need to do it, on the Coil, the Distributor and all spark plug leads too.
Another good thing to do as well, is to convert your car to a "Points-less distributor" Usually one can retro-fit a Sensor in place of the Points, this makes a remarkable difference. Of course some cars already have it.
Again with any thing that's using a Shielded Cable, (Coaxial Cable), then, add capacitors at each end, of the cable, put a Capacitor, from the "Shield" to Earth, at each end. Then any signals "Induced" into the "Shield" will again be routed to earth.

I have a very similar problem. Unfortunately my boating season is over until next May. I found I was at software rev 2.30 and should be at 3.40 Some of the software updates were to resolve sounder problems.
