Chris I just went through the depth finder issue with my C&C 39. After much time, effort & money it was discovered that the alternator line noise filter had failed. Along with the alternator's diodes and rectifier bridge. The resulting noise effected all 4 depth finders as well as my radar with engine running. The failed blocking diodes were draining the batteries while under sail but the depth finders worked perfectly. A simple way to determine of the filter has failed in to run the engine with enough RPM's to excite the alternator into the charge mode the turn on a AM radio and listen for the buzzing sound. My was so bad that the buzzing completely drowned out all AM reception. Replaced the failed Pro Mariner ASF 70 with a new Newmar 150A and problem solved..
