leads directly to the main battery isolation switch or breaker. On a larger boat, route the power leads to the DC power distribution panel.

3.It is very important that you connect the power leads correctly. See Fig. 2-15. At the power source, connect the red wire to the positive terminal (+), and the black wire to the negative terminal (-). The negative terminal may also be called “ground” or “earth.” (The display unit is internally protected if you accidentally reverse the polarity of the power wires.)

4.Attach the red or positive wire to a 5 amp circuit breaker. If the unit is connected directly to the boat’s battery, include a 2 amp in-line fuse. (In-line fuses are available at most marine supply stores.)

5.To prevent any interference or electrical noise, separate the FishFinder power wiring as much as possible from other devices. Avoid running the FishFinder power wires near the power wiring for any radar, radio, or Loran-C units. If possible, wire the FishFinder power wires to a separate circuit breaker.

6.If you need to extend the power wiring by more than 10 feet, use a larger wire size. This will allow the wires to deliver the correct voltage in spite of the longer wire distance. For runs of 20 to 35 feet, use #14 AWG.
