InstallIng the FIshFInder 400c
Step 4: Install the Wiring Harness
The Fishnder 400C comes with a wiring harness that connects
the shnder to power and the transducer with one easy-to-remove
connection and provides interface capabilities for connecting
external devices.
The color code in the diagram (see
page 11) indicates the appropriate
harness connections. The replacement fuse is a AGC/ 3AG - 3 Amp
fuse. If it is necessary to extend the power wires, use 22 AWG wire.
DO NOT cut the transducer cable, because this voids your warranty.
If your boat has an electrical system, you might be able to wire the
shnder directly to an unused holder on your current fuse block. If
you are using the boat’s fuse block, remove the in-line fuse holder
supplied with the shnder. You can also wire the shnder directly
to the battery.
CAUTION: The Fishnder 400C maximum input voltage is 35
Volts DC. Do not exceed this voltage, because this can damage
the Fishnder 400C and void the warranty.
NOTE: During a typical installation, use only the Red and Black
wires. The other wires do not have to be connected for normal
operation of the Fishnder 400C unit. For information on connecting
to a NMEA or CANet compatible device, see page 12.
