[Public-list] Rudder

[Mike Lehman]

Hey Gord,

I wired a cheap voltmeter many years ago. One side to ground the other side 
to the common hot on the battery selector switch. That way you don't need a 
seperate switch just use the main battery switch. It has worked for years, 
of course when the engine is running it shows the voltage from the 
altenator.

Hi Linc -

Sorry to say my opinion is that you need to try to dry that out... Is the
moisture coming from inside the rudder still or is it just from the weather?

I'm going in on Wednesday this week - through-hulls all replaced and a start
made on the wiring.  Got discouraged with the later and decided to leave
that until later in the season.

One thing I did try to do was install a switch and voltmeter to indicate
battery state.  I put in a three position switch that is off in the middle
and on port and starboard.  What I want is to be able to throw it either way
to see the voltage of Battery #1 or #2... The way it is now it indicates
both batteries either way. Can anyone offer me a diagram to fix this?  Funny
thing, I am fairly fearless with rigging or structural issues but wiring
stumps me.

PS I was talking with Peter Terry (he winters at the same Marina as we do)
and promised him I would stir things up about my patch of pet moss in the
starboard cockpit coaming...glad to report it came through the winter again.
