Hello All
We recently bought our first boat and being handy, I’m hoping to save a little money by installing a Chartplotter/GPS unit myself. The mounting is a no brainer, but I don’t have a clue where to connect the electrical. I’m assuming there are terminal blocks somewhere for all the cockpit electrical close by and I’m hoping there will be an open terminal available for the GPS power. I looked in the closet where the fuse box and radio sit and didn’t see the blocks in there and it doesn’t seem logical that I would have to run the wiring all the way back to the batteries. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
