    Default humminbird power cable


    The boat I bought as a 170 pmax mounted on console. I want to move it up front to the tm. Upon remove I found the power cable is only 4 foot long and wired into the power block. Iv got 2 options. Cut into the front nav light cord or get a longer power cable. I'd rather do that so where can I buy one.
    The boat is 17 foot and I'd like to leave it plugged at the power block and run it forward

    You will not find longer power cables as they are all the same size. Just cut the wire at the block leaving enough to splice and run a black and red wire up front and splice in the power cable. That will take care of the problem.

    16 or 18 gauge wire will work just make sure you have a 3 amp fuse in line

    Problem solved. G3 provided power up front for front sonar. Just plugged right into it . Easy peasy lemon squeezy.
