Mounting my HDS to my Wheeler

[rollz2002]

As you can see I want to put my HDS onto my fourwheeler. I am planning on using a ram mount but I am wondering if I can use the same power cord from my boat and hook it up to my battery on my fourwheeler.

Yes you can , same connections

I'd probably put an inline fuse between the two if there isn't one there already but yes that would work. Might make things even easier if you ordered a second power cord and just tucked it into the counsel on the wheeler when not in use. Regardless, it's the same 12v connection.

I agree, a 2nd power cord is a good idea so you don't need to mess around with your boat installation, and for sure put in an in-line fuse .... and bring some extra fuses with you just to be sure .....

A person could also use a cigarette lighter style connection for easy on/off. You would be able to use the accessory port for other things when not using the HDS.

Lowrance makes a cig. plug power cord for the HDS. It is kind of long and around $30.00 I think.If you get one don't cut the wires to shorten them.It has a surge protecter built in so you don't need a fuse.I also got a 110 to 12 volt power converter that I just plug in the wall and then plug the cig. lighter plug into so I can play with my HDS in the house.Don't do that much anymore,but it sure helped when I first got one over the winter. When boat season came I was good to go before I even had it on the boat.

Those portable plastic units like a Genz box that house a 12 volt battery. Portable, work everywhere(car-home-fishhouse-wheeler), and pretty simple.

I have a ram mount on the handlebar of my wheeler and use the cigarette style adapter cord versus a traditional power cord from the boat.

I had an accessory plug already on my wheeler so this was an easy option.
