adding electronic accessory (s)

[FishiNJ]

DLV question- Mine is still wrapped so I’m asking an electronic accessory question of you all…..
I have no accessories on the boat and have a new FF/GPS combo and Radio to add. Now I know there is 1 open accessories switch not used on the consol …
1. Can both be hooked up to the one switch?
2. If so are there two connections or do I splice the tow components to one connection, or use a bus bar type thing?
3. I think the switch is fused; do I need to add an additional in line fuse?
Thanks Patrick

What I and several others have done is run a fused, dedicated 10 or 12 gauge pair of wires from the battery to a bus bar under the console. That way you have a good high current source to power all your accessories. That switch might not handle the current for both your radio and FF. This is something that I'm sure many would pay a little extra to have CS do on all the boats at the factory.

Ditto what Al said. Run a fused feed from the battery/battery switch to a busbar, and feed your gps/ff and radio from there. Your gps and radio will have their own inline fuses. Something like this would work well.
