Post Wiring for mentally challenged
So I am trying to wire up power to my new fish finder for my Gatortail and I'm too stupid to figure it out. I am trying to wire it into my seasense brand switch panel.

The fish finder wiring is highlighted in red and the existing (working) bilge pump wiring is highlighted in blue. What the hell am I doing wrong:

Did you ground it? Is your fuse good?

Fixed it. Everything coming out of the panel is positive. Had to run ground back to battery

Yup. All the panel is there for is the interrupt the hot side and kill power to the device.

The bilge is probably grounded to the hull is why it works that way. You could have done the same but going to the battery is just as good, if not, better.
