Radio Fishfinder
is it hard to install electronics on your boat (fishfinder, vhf radio, etc..)?
i know nothing about the electrical system on boats, let alone mine. i plan to buy a vhf radio and fishfinder this week, will i have difficulty installing them, or would i be better off having a professional do it. and how much would it cost to have it (them installed)?
the previos owner had a fishfinder and radio, so there may be some wires still under there that i can use…
yes i have an antenna already installed…
You should not have any problems installing yourself. Hiding the wires is always the hardest part but I believe you have a center console. The radio, antenna, and fish finder will all mount there and the wires will be hidden inside the console. Run your transducer wire from the stern to the center console. There should be a cable run right under your console – (look for the control cables, steering cable and power wires) – there may even be a rope or cable tied off there that runs to the battery compartment. You can use that to pull, under the deck, the transducer cable to the console. Make sure you tie another small rope or cable to the wire too so you will still have a cable pull there for the next time. If there is no cable pull you can remove the fish rod holder on the starboard side and run the cable behind that up to the console.
Make sure that you place them on separate fuses or circuit breakers,
Good Luck – Boat Safe !
