Yes ...3 amp... With nothing else on that same fuse...

Don't skimp, always fuse , it can prevent boat FIRES
k. thanks guys.
And place the fuse as close to the battery as you can. Having one up near the sonar unit doesn’t help when you end up shorting the power wires out between it and the battery… just take my word on that. :o
gotcha.
Beginner. Wait til you catch you boat on fire. haQuote:

Interlink is powered via the bus connection, so no need for power. 18awg should be sufficient to power the unit.
I wish I had found this before I bought the fuse block in my boat. It has terminals for the grounds also.

Nothing wrong with that. If you don't have any interference problems you are good to go. Be sure to put a fuse at the battery on the wire feeding the block. The size of the fuse should match the wire size.Quote:
