Humminbird

I bought an old boat to fix up and it came with a Humminbird wide c depth finder. The power leads were cut. Can someone tell me the correct way to wire it up.

llfish,<br /><br />Usually, if you peel the sheath back, you'll expose the wire colors. Black will be negative. Blue, red, or white will be positive.

Thanks for the help and a special thanks for not telling me to go and buy a good unit.

Most of these units have reverse polarity protection. If you hook it up wrong it won't damage anything it just won't work.<br /><br />Buttanic

Re: Humminbird

Buttanic is correct about the reverse polarity. You cannot damage it by reversing the leads. Contrary to most posts about these units, I have had a 200 DX for years and never had a problem. Had another humminbird unit before that(Can't remember the model) and it worked great, too. This one does everything I need and more. I also have an Eagle, which was given to me and also has been a good unit, but I use the humminbird almost exclusivly.

llfish, I would install an inline fuse, probably 1 amp. might want to check out www.humminbird.com to get the correct value for your unit.<br /><br />jtw
