Help - fish finder wiring

I understand this might be a simple question but I don’t want to do anything wrong.  I received my lowrance hook 2-5 in the mail yesterday and started to install it.  My question refers to the fuse.  I know you connect the fuse to the positive power wire (the red one) but my entire fuse holder is black. Do I still connect it the the red power cable (red to black)?  I am new at this and am confused as to why Lowrance would make a cable black that connects to a red.  In the installation videos I have seen, the fuse holder wire is red and in the users manual, the picture of the fuse holder has a red cable.  Lowrance is no help because their support lines close early and their email questionare doesn’t work.
I thought I’d take this to the experts before making any stupid mistakes.
Thanks,
Joe

Yes, the fuse block always goes into the red (positive) lead.  Don't let the colors confuse you.

Sort of.  There are times that a fuse should be placed on the negative lead (and almost always as a redundant protection for reverse polarity or you are are in a situation that requires a positive ground), which may be why you got a fuse holder with black wires that someone mixed up somewhere.  I agree that they should generally be red.

If you do not seek out one of those times where you would put the fuse on the negative side, you are extremely unlikely to encounter it.

Or mostly just roll with what Tinker said, and don't let the colors confuse you.  And definitely don't let me confuse you.  Go ahead and connect black to red in this instance.  Get some red heat shrink tubing if it makes you feel better.

As long as you know it’s hooked to positive your fine, if you sell it the new owner may look ang wtf but who sells a kayak anyways... I just buy more kayaks  if you gots the know how solder the connections and heat shrink them. Color don’t matter as long as the installer knows the connection sequence. Unless your doing the job for someone else for pay.
