I just bought a humminbird fishfinder that I want to hook up directly to my battery. The humminbird manual states that I needed to install a one amp inline fuse. I know nothing about this kind of stuff. I went to the local bass pro shop. The associate there said that all they had was an inline fuse holder that could accommodate up to a 30 amp fuse. I asked if that was just the max, and couldn't I just put a one amp fuse in it? He said he wasn't sure and that the smallest fuse that they had was a 3 amp fuse.
If humminbird is recommending a 1 amp fuse, would a 3 amp fuse work (or would it not be sensitive enough)?
Where can I get an inline fuse set up for my FF? I am assuming that I will need a waterproof version. How to I set it up?
Am I looking for the square fuses with the prongs or the cylinder glass type?
Sorry for all of the basic questions, this is all new to me.
