    As the title says, I'm looking for a power cable for my Lowrance Elite-5 DSI. I don't need the Ducer cable. But if the price is right I'd take that too. I can make it work for what I wanna do...

    If anyone has one or knows of one for decent price, please let me know.

    TIA

    Can you take a picture of the connector in the back? I may have one for you.

    Nope, it won't work... Different connector than the Elite 5

    Yes it is. At least it is on my unit.

    I'm looking for a power cable so I can connect the unit to power from my office. I seem to recall a thread somewhere that there's a power-only cable available for just that.

    Got her goin!
    Pin 2 is bat+
    Pin 4 is bat-

    Take a 2' length of automotive wire, warm the end to soften the coating, than push the wire onto the pin. Connect the other end to the correct battery post. Works for tinkering around with settings in the house with it...
