    Does it matter if the brown wire is attached to a terminal block or should it connect directly to the battery? I'm having a low voltage issue on helix 7 depth finder that shuts the unit down when I start the motor.

    my friend gave me a Garmin 188c, now what

    My friend recently gave me a garmin 188c. I have been contemplating replacing my Humminbird 570 with it and moving the 570 to the trolling motor. Is it worth the rewiring. If so, will the Garmin interfere with the function of my Lowrance H2O gps if they are side by side?
