'Hot' wire location

[tengals123]

Where can I find a hot wire location, not in the control box. I don't want a wire hanging out of the control box?<br /><br />cheers

Re: 'Hot' wire location

You have a choice of two circuits, battery hot and ignition hot. Personally I prefer to wire gauges battery hot (through appropriate protection). It's a simple matter of running a 6 - 8 mm wire from the battery to the a switch panel, the heavy wire is overkill just for gauges but it will allow you to add more electrical devices in the future.<br /><br />If you choose ignition hot then you'll need to post in the merc section and find out which color wire in the control box is the correct one.<br /><br />Aldo

i'll need to run it to ignition 'hot' so that the gauges will come on when the key is turned 'on'. The lights i will hook up to my nav. lights.<br /><br />cheers
