Wiring Harness Installation; Wiring To A Fuse Block - Garmin Fishfinder 100 Owner's Manual

Wiring Harness Installation

The Fishfinder 100 comes with a wiring harness that connects the unit
to power and the transducer with one easy-to-remove connection. Make
sure the wiring harness will reach the unit before beginning installation.
If it is necessary to extend the power/data wires, use a wire of compa-
rable size and keep your extension as short as possible.
If the transducer lead is too short, DO NOT cut the transducer lead to
lengthen the cable. This will void the warranty. Transducer extension
cables are available in 10' or 20' lengths from your GARMIN dealer.

Wiring to a Fuse Block

If your boat has an electrical system, it may be possible to wire the unit
directly to an unused holder on your current fuse block. If you are using
the boat' s fuse block, remove the in-line fuse holder supplied with the unit.
Installing the Wiring Harness:
1. Determine the polarity of the fuse holder using a Test Light or Volt Meter.
2. Install the Red (+) wire on the Positive Fuse Holder Terminal.
3. Install the Black (-) wire on the Negative Fuse Holder Terminal.
4. Install a 2 amp fuse in the Fuse Holder.
During a typical installation, only the Red and Black wires are used. The
Blue wire supplies NMEA data, and doesn't have to be connected for
normal operation of the unit.
