Buying the parts separately means tracking down a switch and fuse holder that match the converter's 10 AWG wiring; this kit puts the matched set in one box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike the standalone converter, the VR28 in this kit steps power down or up to a regulated 28.4V at 10A for a Garmin LiveScope or Lowrance Active Target black box, and it is not rated for a head unit. PowerHouse Lithium provides a high-resolution wiring diagram for the install.
