vex fish scout camera?
« on: Dec 03, 2015, 06:02 PM »
Anyone make a power cord to plug into a 12 volt outlet? I want to run off my fishhouse battery.
Is it ice time yet???

so basically if I understand you correctly, you are looking for something like this: http://www.amazon.com/Roadpro-Fused-Replacement-Cigarette-Lighter/dp/B0016LG0CY with the end connectors being spades that fit into the ones from your vexilar (or whatever connector type the vexes have if special). I am also assuming you want this instead of directly hard wiring to the battery because you already have it in a powerbox with a cigarette lighter adapter in it??? If not it would be easiest to just make a couple of wires that have a connector compatible with your battery posts crimped on one end and a connector that matches your vex cables on the other (assuming the vexes have a fuse already built on to their wires like my lowrance ff does).

maybe a power inverter to run your charger from a 12 volt.
what kind of connector does the unit use, a coaxial connector?

I called vex and the answer I got was unhook the battery and use them wires, but I wonder if I could just hook,into the charger hook up?
