Hey all -

I'm getting ready to feed power to a depth finder and stereo deck in my '94 Bayliner Capri and I figured the best way to do it is link them each to an accessory switch on the console. Each switch has 2 male end connectors on the back of it...I've never tied something in like this...is it simply hot (battery) in one male prong and the hot feed for the device on the other? If that's the case, which male would go to which wire? :confused:

Thanks!

Those switches are just your basic On/Off switch. Should have the center terminal being supplied power from the fuse or breaker. The outside terminal goes to the positive wire of your accessory.

Right you are, that turned out to be a whole lot easier than I thought it might be...that's a refreshing feeling...

Thanks!
