I'm saying that between the fuse panel and the electronics you should have a switch. Especially if you unplug the electronics and leave the plug exposed. If there is power to the plug, it will corrode the pin that has the 12v. I did this twice to FF plugs before learning my lesson.... and you have to get a whole new transducer/cable assembly once the plug is shot.

Fwiw, smoked plexi doesn't corrode and is easy to attach labels to.

Here's a pic of my dash. Black Starboard. The switch panel is between the helm and dash and uses circuit breakers.
