[Electric Boats] Turnigy Watt Meter

 

I stumbled on this inexpensive watt meter;

and ended up at this E Propulsion website;

while researching installing it at the helm. The issue is that the shunt is mounted inside the unit so you have the mount it near the batteries or run heavy wire to the helm. I ended up ordering a shunt;

and plan to locate that near the batteries and running small gauge wire to the helm. I know I could spend more and have a more robust setup but this gives me the tinkering fix that I have been missing lately :-)
