Hi Everyone,
New to the forum and just picked up the Helix 5 SI unit for my jon boat. I used to run a 570 DI portable unit. Since I am using my jon boat Im converting the portable casing and mount to fit the helix unit.
The 570 portable unit came with a small 12v battery and the power cord was already wired with alligator clips for the battery with no fuse. For the sake of convenience would it be alright to just use that power cord on the new unit? The installation says to add in an amp. Why would humminbird sell a unit that is set up without a fuse if thats part of installation? Im just wondering everyones take on it and if it is a suitable switch.
thanks folks
bob
