Can someone recommend where to hook power up from for the new Furuno ds Wireless radar.
Mounting it on the radar top.... not sure where to connect to the 12 volts or on a switch.
Thanks 380 owner 2000

There is a pretty large opening in the arch that connects to the stbd side wire run to your helm. Under the helm there are 12v+ fused and 12v- bus bars with extra connections. Not hard to run the cable at all from top of arch to helm.
