Fuse/breaker?? GPS Wiring HELP please

[rgreenwell8962]

I unscrewed the panel below the wheel to get a better look at the fuses to see how easy it would be to connect power to a GPS. I had expected it to look similar to the fuse panel in a car, which I have experience tapping into to run electrical accesories. Well to my surprise it looked more like the breakers in my electrical panel at home.

So, how do I tap into this?? I looked at the accessory breakers (or fuse) since there are two accessory swtches to see if I could just tap into one. On the back of these fuses (or breakers) there are several tabs, I think 4. On one of the accessory switches, all tabs are connected with wires. On the other there are only two of these tabs connected. Oh I forgot there IS a third which has NO wires connected to it at all. To make matters more confusing, I did not see a grounding block nor did I notice any black wires. Hmmmmm.

How in the heck do I connect my red lead (coming from the GPS cord) into power and ground the black one??? There are a lot of other wires on the GPS cord for the transducer, and other stuff that I am not going to mess with on this go around. I first want to get power running to it without burning my boat to the ground, er, the water.

Help please!

It is a 2001 Maxum 2500 SCR if that matters.....

Green..
what you need to do is get some blade connectors...crimp the ends on to the hot lead for the gps..then shrink wrap it...secondly there should be a black or ground wire in there somewhere...either that or it's a yellow wire I think...best way to check for a completed circuit is to use a multi meter.....I'll be available sometime this weekend if you need help...are you in the seattle area??? (I've been talking with a few people this week and I can't remember if your in the seattle are or not)...anyways...you can use any blank breaker on the dc panel or use the acc switch...which is what I did for my fish finder.....

let me know what you come up with..

if you need more help tomorrow..I can contact a buddy of mine at oly to help out..
