I bought a new fish finder yesteday, and I am trying to install it!!! The problem is there is many wires and the instructions are very vague!!! Does anyone have knowledge on how to wire these to a battery???

[font "Comic Sans MS"][size 3]You just bought the Lowrance X-125 right? [/size][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][size 3]Just remember red and black and you'll do fine. You'll use the in-line fuse on the red positive side and black to the ground on the battery. All other wires are bells and whistles. The transducer has it's own plug. [/size][/font]

There is 3 different wire stock, one has white, red and black, the other has a red, black and silver, and the other one has blue, orange, yellow and silver. The main power cord is going to be the largest????

[font "Comic Sans MS"][size 3]Two sets of those cables are communications cables. Your NMEA & NMEA 2000 cabling for marine equipment communication. One of the 3 wire sets is the power hook ups.[/size][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][size 3]I went to Lowrance and downloaded their X-125 manual and it looks pretty simple. It's attached to this post. Also there is an addendum for the X-125 you may want to see also. I didn't check it out. It may shed more light on your situation.[/size][/font]

Now with those addendum instructions, it makes it easier, instead of dealing with 11 wires, I only have to deal with 2 wires and cap all the other ones!!!!
