I want to mount a Lowrance chartplotter on my 2005 Fiesta Vee 270 at the dash area.  What do I tie into for my power supply to the Lowrance?

    Is it just GPS or fish finder as well? gps, you can get power from a spare accessory switch at the helm. If it is a fish finder as well, you need to get power all the way from the battery. Getting power from the helm will cause a lot of interference and you will see lots of noise on the unit.

    Thanks for the responses.  I will look for the power bar behind the dash.  It is just a chartplotter, not a fishfinder.

    From the factory they were connected to the ACC switch or Electronics switch on the dash. Some model boats had one or the other or both.
