[QUOTE="CedarRiverScooter, post: 476862, member: 15465"] I have a Garmin fishfinder which doesn't have built-in auto off. Twice, I had forgotten to turn it off & then 2 weeks later when I get to boat ramp, dead battery. So I bought this timer relay, was $20 delivered. http://timers.shop/Multi-Functional-3V-18V-Time-Delay-Relay-Timer-5-amp_p_12.html You can program it in various ways. I set it up to turn off after 2 hours. It doesn't take hardy any power when off (spec says it would take 5 years to drain a 9V battery). Happy ending on this project! [/QUOTE]
