My friend has just mounted an elite 4 unit at the bow beside his eagle GPS unit.
Can we splice the power cord into the Eagle power cord up front???
Thanks guys.

If you splice Infront of the fuse and that wire is thick enough there will be no issue

As long as fuse & cable can support both at same time - is this related to other thread about Eagle GPS and Lowrance Elite 4? - Elite 4 draws ~1.1 A. If its on 5A circuit you shouldn't have issues as most GPS draws lower power. What model GPS?

If the fuse is 2A or larger you should be OK - the Eagle Intellimap 500 draws 0.7A... to be certain I would need the model number for the Eagle.
