Wiring a fishfinder to the fuse box "Accessory" with possibly another device...
I am in the final step of installing my fishfinder and my preference
would be to connect it to the fuse box (instead of directly to the battery) . The instructions says "it is possible to wire the unit directly to an unused holder on your current fuse box. Just install a 2 amp fuse in the fuse holder (and remove the in-line fuse holder supplied with the unit)". The thing is, I have yet to install my am/fm/CD player unit and I was also planning to connect this to the "Accessory" fuse holder. I haven't taken the CD player out of the box yet but I am assuming the CD player will require something bigger than 2 amp (10 or 15 amp fuse probably)! Is it possible to connect both devices (Fishfinder and CD player) to the same "Accessory" fuse? If so, could I simply use a 10 or 15 amp (whatever is required by CD player) even though the fishfinder requires a 2 amp? I don't know about AMPs so I don't know if more is OK or if it needs to be exactly as stated). Finallly, would I be able to use both devices simultaneously or better to use only one at a time (if fishfinder at ON position, keep stereo OFF and vice-versa). As usual, thank you for your help.
