Re: [ST] Hardwire your GPS

[Todd J <me_shucker@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for the input. 
   
  I have considered the dielectic grease route, but really want to hard wire it. 

I have seen both the Aerostich and Powerlet Webs show differing options for a hardwire. Both are direct off the batt but one uses a fuse and the other uses no fuse. 

Would love some guidance on the hardwire option.
  Thanks, 
Todd

  I experienced the same problem you're reporting and I was successful 
at correcting it by applying a light film of dielectric grease to the 
battery contacts and shimming them with pieces of rubber band. If you 
decide to hard wire, you could fashion a splitter for your accy tap.
