After ordering this AC to DC adapter, I noticed a description from another website said the DC voltage wasn't regulated. Is there any concern of damaging my GPS, Lowrance HDS 8? Is there anything I can do to protect it? Fuse?

I know this one will work fine Amazon.com: Schumacher PC-6 120AC to 6A 12V DC Power Converter: Automotive Not sure if it's regulated or not.
You would probably have to use a PC power supply or other more sophisticated power supply to be fully regulated......but in my experience that is not necessary........Probably the same with the Wagan.

Been using it for years with no problem.

The HB units are spec-ed at 10-18v ...

An "un-regulated" power supply is unlikely to spike or dropout past those ranges ...

Just make sure the power supply is a minimum 1amp (1000ma) output for enough current to operate the unit ...
