Dang, Yall just killed my Sun afternoon. I was just fixin to wire a new Helix unit on my boat. I mean, the boat is in the shop and the tools are out. In order to procrastinate another 15 mins, I thought I'll see whats happening on CDC. And I read THIS...
Now I gotta re think my whole process. LOL That's why I like this site.

So what is the verdict, 12 ga wires...twisted, 5 amp fuse close to the battery and steer clear of the fuse panel? Correct?
