Battery Ideas for New Dragonfly 6

[ful-rac]

Just a single fuse will do just fine. My fishfinder isn't fused at all, I just run mine strait to the battery. The possibility of a short is pretty slim to none, if you have wired it correctly.

Make sure that you don't get the battery wet, even if you roll it.

I need to extend the power cord, would any wire work or does it have to be a certain size. Got confused looking at all the different ones at hardware store...

And if I run a fuse does it matter which wire to connect to?

Try to use marine grade wiring if possible. Fuse the positive side if you are going to fuse.
