    I wired in a switch due to almost every time I put the cover on my front Humminbird on my last boat, I would hit the power button and turn the unit on

    I think I will add another breaker where the blank power poles are and relabel mine, my power poles are on those 2 red wires with fuses

    I bought mine used. Hooked HDS 9 up to the old HDS power cable from previous owner. Everytime I would crank my battery I would kill that graph. Even first thing in the morning. So after replacing a 31 series battery and pulling hair out I finally ran an isolated power cable and shut off. My boat is older and only had a shut off for the trolling motor which sucked. But after a couple hours of sweat equity and 80 or so bucks, everything works as it should!

    I contacted Tim at Phoenix because I am putting in a HB Mega 10 si and found out that they recommend wire is 10ga tinned wire run straight to the battery. I have a main power switch and will run 8ga tinned wire from the switch to a fuse box and 10ga tinned wire to the unit.
