Installing the Wiring Harness

The Fishfinder comes with a wiring harness that connects

the Fishfinder to power and the transducer with one

easy-to-remove connection. If it is necessary to extend the

power wires, use 22 AWG wire. DO NOT cut the transducer

cable, because this voids your warranty. If your boat has an

electrical system, you might be able to wire the Fishfinder

directly to an unused holder on your current fuse block. If

you are using the boat’s fuse block, remove the in-line fuse

holder supplied with the Fishfinder. You can also wire the

Fishfinder directly to the battery.

CAUTION: The Fishfinder input voltage is 10–18

volts DC. Do not exceed this voltage, because this can

damage the Fishfinder and void the warranty.

To install the wiring harness:

1. Determine the polarity of the power source using a

test light or volt meter.

2. Install the red (+) wire on the positive fuse holder or

battery terminal.

3. Install the black (-) wire on the negative fuse holder

or battery terminal.

4. Install a 2 Amp fuse in the fuse holder (fuse block

only).

5. Align the notches on the cable plug and on the back

of the Fishfinder. Insert the cable into the connector

and turn the lock ring counter-clockwise until it stops.
