is your TM 24 volt or 12? If possible I would hook the outlet to the cranking battery, with a 3-5 amp fuse in there somewhere too...
Use your start battery. You talking about milliamps here.Quote:

Cranking battery is where I will hook it up.
Ditto. I installed a new trolling motor ahnd had to re-wire my DF to get rid of interference. Doing it right the first time would be better.;)Quote:
