Important:
• When planning and wiring, take into consideration other products in
your system, some of which (e.g. sonar modules) may place large power
demand peaks on the vessel’s electrical system, which may impact the
voltage available to other products during the peaks.
• The information provided below is for guidance only, to help protect
your product. It covers common vessel power arrangements, but does
NOT cover every scenario. If you are unsure how to provide the correct
level of protection, please consult an authorized dealer or a suitably
qualified professional marine electrician.
