Rear View Camera - Install
I recently installed a Rear View Safety Camera (model# RVS-770613) sold at Costco. Below are pics of my install.
I ran cable inside the fiberglass rear cap. I had to remove clearance and tail lights to access inside for wire pulling. I used the yellow fiberglass wire pullers sold at Harbor Freight. They worked GREAT!
Routed camera cable down under chassis and forward to cab area. Removed step area plastic piece and brought cable into cab from that area.
Removed factory rear view mirror and mounted monitor on same metal mount that is glued to windshield. Rear View Safety sells a mount that uses this same OEM mount.
Routed cable from monitor up into plastic overhead trim, over to left pillar, into pillar area, then down below dash. I mounted the transfer box and all wiring under dash. I used an Add A Circuit and pulled power from the radio fuse located under dash.
So far....EXCELLENT. Pic is great, clear, and I can view all the way back behind my 17' boat. I used camera to practice backing up boat and I am amazed on how easy it is to back boat with this camera. I am VERY happy with results!!!!
