How to power a Fish Finder

[manlystanley]

As a little update. I've been using this connector: https://www.amazon.com/Pico-0710PT-T.../dp/B00030COC4 for about 2 months. It works like a champ. Thanks for the recommendation.


Best Regards,

Like the other posts, less than $3 at auto parts stores (I got mine at Auto Zone). Even though I use dielectric grease there was corrosion in the connectors and I recently had a prong break in the female end (I find them difficult to separate). At $3 I'll live with it.

Mike: I should have carried forward your previous point. Thanks for doing this, saving some money is a good thing.

My thanks to those who suggested the plug as well. I got mine at NAPA for $2 and change as I recall, soldered them on and haven't had a problem. Way better than the tab and slot connections I used before.

2 wire trailer connector, $2.49 is what I used

mine is identical to RWH, however the battery terminal to female of the fuse is holding up fine, but the male fuse to female power cable moves around too much i've broken the connection at the female.

i'm now upgrading the wire/wire connections to this:

both wires push in, and there is a piece similar to an inverted alligator clip which connects the two. As long as you strip off enough plastic, there is no way to miss a connection with this plug style.

i'm still wire to female at both battery terminals tho. to be continued!

What are those connectors called. Do you have a link? Thx
