Question on wiring in a new VHF and because I'm basically lazy, I'd like to cut corners and save time. I had run an independant pair of wires after I bought this point, so my depth finder was going direct to the battery, with an inline near the battery. After I picked up a hand held Lowrance GPS, I wired that into the same set of leads, both on the same inline; no problems at all. Ok the obvious easy out for me is to put all 3 on that same pair of wires, anyone see any problems with that? Of course now I've got to figure out how to fish the antena wire out and get it over to the drivers side, as there is no way it will reach the console now.
