Wiring Help PLEASE
Need some help guys. I'm going to put a depth finder up front. Any reason why I can't splice into my trim/tilt switch? I have a red, yellow, black on my power cord as showed in the pic. But my tilt/trim switch has green, red, and blue. Or my front navigation light has grey, black, and blue. Which would be better? Can I do it? And if I can will someone help with color to color. Yes I work at Duke Energy but I'm no electrician. That's a fact. Any help will be greatly appreciated!! Bass Pro wants $175 just to hook it up. Thanks in advance! I know this may get moved but I know some of you guys and I stuck it here.

Yes, do yourself a favor and pull wires to the main battery, it will save you a lot of time down the road. Just remember the inline fuse.

Depending on the fish finder, as mentioned you could experience some RF frequency. When these newer units first came out, some folks had a helluva time getting rid of it. A lone power source and a fuse is an extremely smart start.

ok thanks guys. I was wanting to avoid the headache of trying to do that but I guess that is what will be done. Thanks for your replies!!

CrappieCatinRob, you'll only need to run one wire, you can ground it to the frame of the boat. Like everyone says go direct saves doing it twice

if you not wanting to run the wiring you may want to go this route !!! they work great for what you wanting to do !!! just set up front with your unit !!!!Originally Posted by CrappieCatinRob

I bought my boat from there and had my ipilot and Helix 8 put on by them. I honestly thought they done a good job with it. But I've had several people tell me not to have them do work????
