Yup, just the red & black for power. Cap off the others--unless you have accessories. Then the transducer has its own plug.
I use the RAM mount. |

Imo,
adding a fuse is just one more spot for corrosion and open circuits, in the kayak environment the internal circuit protection is ample, it also has an internal gps antenna

If I can remember correctly, I think there was a sticker/tag on the cable saying the fuse must be installed in order to be covered by manufacturer warranty.

I know of at least one guy that does not have a fuse. He said something about corrosion area. He has not had a ff problem yet.
That guy is pretty weird, I wouldn't follow his advice on anything. |

OEX has waterproof inline fuses. They have the nice kind, that are truly waterproof and wont corrode, not the cheap inline fuses that typically come with the fishfinders.
