Help need electronics's supply web site- I'm looking for a small waterpoof? lighted switch, prefer one that uses a round hole(not rectangle) if possible. Been to several places & nobody has got such a thing. I'm hooking up my 4000 antennae system to HDS 8 and have been told with out a switch this will pull juice even when HDS8 is off--thanks
try this for the 12 volt shop. Lots of items specifically designed for 12v applications. http://www.12volt.com.au/redirect.ht.../switches.html
Thanks Barnacle Bill, yep they have just what I been looking for....Hands Clapping
If the HDS is wired into a fuse block (which it should be) all you need is a master power switch to cut off all power to the panel when you are not using the boat. I just put a master switch on my boat. Just take the hot wire off the fuse block and connect to number "1" post on switch. Run a hot wire out from number "2" post to where the hot wire used to be on the fuse block lug and you are good to go. Just turn the switch off when you are done fishing and it kills power to everything tied into the fuse panel which should be everything except the outboard. I wouldn't wire anything direct to the battery other than the outboard. All accessories need to be fuse protected especially expensive electronics.
