Great video You could always install a relay on your ground and use the acc on to the control circuit on the relay Ground to pin 30 and 85 Pin 87 to the ground on the dual volt meter 86 to acc on The relay will act as your switch Happy boating
Aloha! Thanks for the comment Charlie. This week we are under flood watch...I could almost float the boat in my back yard but it would suck up mud! -scott
Hi, first pin wiring from voltage meter to ignition wire Second pin wiring to dual battery Last pin wiring to the negative This way you don't need the on/off switch as the voltage meter will turn on/off automatically with ignition.
@@benschroeder1161 The first wire comes from a circuit that is "hot" in either "acc" or "run." This video initally has a circuit that is hot all the time.
Aloha, I bought the dual volt meter from Amazon. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B077XDHQNR/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1 When you receive the switch it will have three terminals 1 hot for each battery and a ground. I ran a hot (positive) wire directly from each battery up to the switch and then grounded the negative terminal to my dash mounted Blue Seas Fuse Terminal. The hardest part is cutting out the hole for the switch in the dash and making it clean. Be wary of disassembling the switch into its components. Things will jump out of the switch and they're easy to lose and or put back incorrectly. Good Luck! -scott

Ground to pin 30 and 85
Pin 87 to the ground on the dual volt meter
86 to acc on
The relay will act as your switch
Happy boating
Thanks Scott. It’s always fun to see what you’re up to.
Aloha!

Can you explain this further? I’m trying to do the same and don’t want the switch if I can avoid it

What kind of switch is it and where did you get it? Trying to do this same setup but the video wasn’t very clear on what wire goes where
Aloha,

Forget all this stuff.. let’s see some chicks on your boat!
Ok...I get it. Lemme see if I can get some more of that!
