Re: [Electric Boats] Helm Instrumentation Project

Mke,

I read your post about the amp meter last week and followed the link to the vendor's site. Good find! I've been looking for that kind of instrument myself for a while because I didnt' want to mess with a shunt either and have the extra terinations. I figure an inexpensive one had to exist but I could never find one that didn't cost an arm and leg and I'll be ordering one just like yours soon.

Recently I built a helm instrumentation panel so I could keep an eye on battery voltages and current draw on the propulsion bank without leaving the helm while underway. It worked out pretty good though I still have to mount it permanently. The links to the process I went through are here:
