Im trying to tie my Garmin GPS into the power under the helm. Maybe Im missing something, but is there a positive bus under the helm. I see the negative bus, but dont see where to plug into the positive. TIA!

Find a hot source under there, the Garmin has it's own fuse.

Thanks. Never did electrical work before. Are you saying I should tie the garmin positive to an existing hot positive wire?
