Voltmeter help!
I bought one of those slick Honda marine voltmeters for $14.99 and am installing it on the panel below the CB. The instructions say to install the positive on the ignition switch so it isn't on all of the time. Not sure where to tie this in, anyone have any good suggestions?

Thanks,

The ACC+ is controlled by the IGN swithch
The simplest way is to attach the voltmeter to the ACC+ at the fuse box under the false tank grounding the other side of the meter to the ACC-
You will get a reading which is about -.02 volts less than what the actual battery reading.

I run my voltmeter through a relay so that it reads the actual state of the battery, the relay is controlled by the ACC+
The only stupid questions are the one's that are not asked.
