Going to be installing my new sonar and was wondering if it mattered which battery I connect it to?? Have two, deep cycle and cranking. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

To avoid interference with your trolling motor, the best place to power your sonar unit is off your cranking battery. Leave your deep cycles exclusively for your trolling motor.

If you connect to your deep cycles, you'll run the risk of running into a low voltage situation that can be bad for your sonar unit.
