I hope to finally, after 12 years, read the manual to my fish finder/gps.
No idea how to really use it... alway showing false fish icons when no bait or fish are present... and I never mark spots and return to them successfully.
Yeah .... I know......... Look guys, I'm a surfcaster who owns a boat. who should still have a flip phone.

I had the same issue with my fish finder the cause was there were no fish under the boat. Then one day I saw a banana looking things and the rod bent .. now I know what to look for... calling Bennett today I'll post the results

Just got off the phone with bennett Marine they are telling me my issues is the power needs to be connected directly to the battery not the helm power even though their Installation direction makes no mention of a direct battery connection or that the provided power wire is only 2 feet long.. seeing i am running a new wire should i just install a new fuse block

I would, keep the power isolated, may come in handy, label all wires
