Get a spade fuse connector at auto parts store and hook at battery with 3 amp fuse on positive side. Run those 2 wires to wherever your unit is mounted. Before you run them twist the 2 in a lazy twist similar to braiding hair. That's called a twisted pair and works to reduce the chance of interference. If you have the tools and knowledge solder the wires together using heat shrink to seal. Rather than just butt connector. If you have the factor red plastic fuse holder with glas fuse that is worst cause of bad connections and needs to go away.

Yes I have it wire directly to the battery. I also have the TM wired to the same battery but separate wires. I do have the fuse on the positive side, it is the square fuze that comes with the unit. Thanks for all the responses and keep them coming! I want get to look at it today, have to fry fish for the in laws.
