THANK YOU! For this video!! I had been looking for a vid to show how to hook up the in-line fuse for my FISH finder. Thanks again.

My dad swore by electrical tape...glad you reminded me to use that as a preventive measure!! No way like the old way of doing things sometimes. Btw...I had to use a cigarette lighter to shrink.

Great video what fuse did you use? Looking for the right one for my nmea 2000 power

How do I know what fuse I need or is it one size fits all? I am going to be wiring prewired solar with a 8mm DC input connecting to my jackery?

Use shrink tubing, much easier and it will seal the connections

and for people that dont have the fancy crimping tool for the but connector..there are a set of default crimpers specifically for but connectors and they usually have yellow or orange handles...If you look closely at the tip of those default crimpers there are 3 dots..blue red and yellow..your gonna want to match the but connector to the color of dot and crimp the but connector...

Excellent video I like your simple instruction. I have the Lance fishfinder Hook 4 And the wiring set up came with two clear looking connectors but they look a little different than the connectors you used. Do they go on the same way ? Thx mate

ive somehow managed to snap my new neon light cable at the on off toggle switch 😭 ive ordered a replacement switch but im lost as to how i need to connect the 2 thin wires to what looks like little clamps in the switch ? any advice would be a great help ?

[jeremygreen]

i was hoping to see you install it somewhere and see if it works

[johnchapman]

What size fuses are you using I have heard several different opinions from 5 amp to 20 amp, I would think a 5 amp for each fish finder and maybe a 20 amp if you have 2 or more connected in the same area?

The inline fuse goes on the positive line that supplies the load?

I don't have a torch and don't wanna buy one. is a lighter okay? i have one of those long ones and can hold the wire with pliers for safety reasons, if need be.

The “heat shrinking wasn’t working. Maybe, just maybe that isn’t part of the connectors’ design? Maybe, just maybe, you have a thing for fire.

How do you know what size connectors to use?

My helix 5 didn't come with an in line. Where can I get one and what size I need?

[CoffeeJake]

ive never used the inline fuse and no problems yet. is it really needed?

Pardon me..for a subwoofer & Amp set up.. Amp has 2× 40amp orange fuses on it so woukd you also need 2× 40 fuses on your online fuse
