So I bought a 08 170tx late last fall. On her maiden voyage I relaized the FF was inadequate and the TM would only go in one speed. So I picked up a Garmin SV9 and will be picking up a minnkota with i-pilot soon. I just went out and took the old stuff off and am not sure how I am going to run the wiring for power. The old power runs behind the "kickplate" on the bow. I assume I can easily replace the flush mount plug for the new TM so not real concerned about that. But I am not sure how I will run the power back to the batt for the FF that will be mounted at the bow also. Buying a 12v TM. 

Also, I have a minn kota 2 bank charger. I want to be able to easily connect my batts in the boat to this as I dont have the room in the boat to mount it. It currently has the eyes on the end of it to hook it to the batts. I need a quick and easy way to connect/disconnect it when I pull the boat in/out of the garage
