Does anyone have pictures of where they tapped into power and ground for a fish finder or other accessory? Any pictures of where to run the wiring down the starboard side would be helpful also. Thanks in advance!

I'll try to get pics this weekend, but look under helm. You will probably see a couple different plugs with nothing connected. I just went through and found one that was already connected to one of my switches. It was an odd shaped plug. I found a matching mate plug on another wire, cut it off, and capped off those wires. Soldered that plug to my Simrad wires, hooked it up, and wala, fishfinder works. It's now powered up off my radio accessory switch. I didn't use the yellow memory wire as we have a master cutoff so it's not necessary. This took maybe 1/2 hour. Now modifying the dash opening to fit the Simrad .... well that was a little longer and messier.

Thank you semper fi. Boat is on order currently so I'm just trying to get an idea of what is needed once it arrives.
