My question is can I wire the Helix power wire and the Heading sensor power wire at the same connection to the 10 gauge wire? Planning on soldering them and then heat shrink the connection.
Or will I get interference from the Heading sensor on the Helix?
The connections once made will not be easy to get to, as they will be under the front wooden section of the deck that is removed at the present.
If interference is encountered, I have a 6 slot fuse block I could install, but it would be more wiring and have to be located in an accessable location.
I don't plan on installing any more powered accessories up front, so the fuse block would only be service to the Helix and Heading sensor.
I want to do this right the first time. I hate redos.
Thanks in advance.
