I'm buying parts to install a new Humminbird Helix unit and Ultrex on my 03 519VX Ranger to replace the old motorguide and flasher unit. The boat is at the lake, I'm 6 states away. I am thinking about running power from the cranking battery to the bow to power the ethernet hub and the Helix. I'm wondering how much room is under the bow plate... enough to drop the ethernet hub and a fuse block underneath?? If anyone knows I'd appreciate letting me know. I'm also considering what size wire to run. 10/2 Marine wire is good for 13 amps. Can anyone think of a reason to run more that 10 gauge?
Thanks.
