Hi, Just installed the Ping360, and it has some kind of noise in the data, any ideas what this might come from?
Hi @Joakim, welcome to the forum 
Given the noise is consistent throughout the profile, it will be unrelated to the pulse transmissions, and instead caused by high frequency mechanical vibrations, or electrical noise (likely on / picked up by its power connection).
Is the noise still present when the sonar is operated in the air, without any vehicle motion? If not then the direct electricals can likely be ruled out, although that could still be indicative of current leakage from some other part of the vehicle, that’s then entering the chassis through the water.
If the noise is still there in air then you may wish to check the electrical connections with an oscilloscope (if you have access to one), and/or make sure the power wires aren’t passing too close to high frequency switching electronics.
