| I am moving my 3500C from a portable setup I have to mount it on the bow of my boat. I have it all wired up, but the thing wont power up. I can power my bow locator (an old Pinpoint) from the same outlet, but the GPS wont even blink.
The outlet is powered from the trolling motor batteries, and there is a 4A inline fuse right at the battery that I thought may be the culprit (undersized?). I increased the size of that fuse, but still nothing.
Would there be another fuse somewhere that could be causing this?
I can power up the GPS no problem from the little 12V, 18AH battery that I have on my portable setup, but nothing when I go to the boat.
I haven't really had time to start tearing into yet, but thought I'd get some ideas here before I start ripping stuff up.
It's driving me crazy |

| First of all, not a good idea to power any of your electronics from the trolling motor batteries. Can lead to interference issues, not to mention that if the trolling motor batteries run out of juice, so does your GPS. That said, make sure the power wires are not hooked up in reverse (negitive to positive, etc).
