    Lowrance HDS install on Z7

    I have a 2010 Nitro Z7 and I'm about to install and Gen 3 HDS 9 at the bow. The unit came with a 4ft power cord and fuse. Where should I pull power from? My console unit pulls from the fuse box under the console. Do I need to purchase a longer power cord or just run two wires to the fuse box. OR can I pull power from somewhere at the bow?

    Thanks!

    My bow unit has its own wires that were run to an empty slot on the distribution/fuse box under the console, there is a tube that goes up the starboard side for cables. You will need to splice the power cord to a longer wire, or you could buy an extension cable or a longer power cable.

    I have several extra spots on my fuse pannel under the console of my z8, but I was in a hurry and have not had an issue yet with what I did, I spliced into the courtesy light on the side of the console, actually shows higher voltage all the time than my original unit that is still installed through the block
