I am moving my 3500C from a portable setup I have to mount it on the bow of my boat. I have it all wired up, but the thing wont power up. I can power my bow locator (an old Pinpoint) from the same outlet, but the GPS wont even blink.

The outlet is powered from the trolling motor batteries, and there is a 4A inline fuse right at the battery that I thought may be the culprit. I increased the size of that fuse, but still nothing.

Would there be another fuse somewhere that could be causing this?

I can power the GPS from the little 12V, 18AH battery that I have on my portable setup, but nothing when I go to the boat.

I haven't really had time to start tearing into yet, but thought I'd get some ideas here before I start ripping stuff up.

It's driving me crazy
