I am trying to install a new chartplotter on my 2004 280 DA. I was planing on using the ACC1 switch on the helm. I was expecting to find a place to connect the power somewhere behind the helm. Do I need to route the power to the forward EIM, undo the cover to the EIM and plug it in there (like with a breaker panel at home) or is there a line coming out of the EIM that I should be able to find? Or should I just go ahead and splice into an existing line? Honestly I was hoping there'd be a fuse box where I could plug in addiotnal equipment like a car but that would just be silly, too easy for boating. I do know that I don't want to risk killing the EIM (pricey and no boating till it gets fixed).
And a follow up - I'f I do need to get into the EIM, how the heck to you undo the bottom three screws without disconnecting and unmounting the entire unit?
thanks for your help.
Thanks,
