Location: Racine, Wi		So the way my GPS is rigged now, is through a switch on the boat. Apparently one of the wires that they hooked this up with (I think the negative, as the positive is running to the battery direct I think) keeps coming off I think. (the GPS is currently not functioning and it's a wire problem, not a problem with the unit.

My question is, if I run the negative straight to the starting battery, is that going to cause any problems with the unit? Do I have to ground any of the wires? Do I need a fuse in the mix? (I think there is already an inline fuse running to the positive wire).

Thanks guys. I have to get it back up and running quick again and I don't want to mess with the dealer any more.
