[QUOTE="Bob Landry, post: 250761, member: 7025"] Attach the wires for the fishfinders to the point that feeds 12v to the switch panel and put the inline fuses close to the attachment point. That will be the most convenient and you'll probably have the ground buss close-by. I hate to see a nest of wires attached to a battery terminal. Aside from looking sloppy, it can be a hassle if you need to change batteries. I've had to trace down a lot of problems because some boat owner just used whatever color wire he had in his tool box and attached them wherever possible. [/QUOTE]
