Black boxes
#3
[font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000][size 3]When I got my new boat in 2017, I put 4 Scotty's on it and installed a black box and hooked it up to all 4 of them. I could never to get all 4 of them to work at the same time. The voltage settings would wander all over the place from .2 to greater than 1.0. I finally just gave up and put it on eBay and sold it in 2 days to somebody in Kalifornia. I then sold all 4 Scottys to somebody in SLC and put 2 Cannon Mag 5s and 2 Cannon Mag 10s on my boat. The factory preset 0.6 volt setting on all 4 has been solid at 0.6 volts dc since day one.[/size][/#800000][/font]

[font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000][size 3]I also had to reconnect the wires 5 or 6 times between the sleeve the DR cable runs through and the black box. It is very small gauge wire and broke off at the clip on the sleeve end. Due to my experience with it, I would not recommend it. If you replace the wire cables with braid, you will eliminate ion voltage around the cable as braid is not an electrical conductor. OR, you could just use Cannons with the preset ion voltage of 0.6 vdc or the Cannon Digitrolls with a built in ion volt controller that actually works as advertised.
