wkrp Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 I lost power to my fishfinder last time out fishing. I had it hooked up to the fuse panel on the console. It was pretty hard to trouble shoot on the water. So my question is is it a good idea to run the fishfinder wires direct to the battery ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In line fuse is cheap and worth it's weight in gold..I would not hook anything up without one when your talking descent dollars for your electronics. Run it directly but make sure there is a fuse.

wkrp Posted June 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 I fully intend to have an inline fuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Shearer Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 davey buoy hit the nail direct! I always ran electronics direct. It eliminated any interference on the graph, radio, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Ironmaker Posted June 12, 2014 Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 (edited) All electronics direct with an inline fuse. No way to get to my fuse panel and if I did I would never be able to see let alone ID the correct fuse. I hate where my panel is, just hate it. The only thing on the boat that bothers me. If I had have lost my GPS in a gravy type fog 2 weeks ago on Erie I certain we would have been in trouble, even with my good quality compass. I would have ended up on the rocks for sure.
