Analogue Fuel Gauge Connection

[craigma]

I just put new harnesses and ignition switches on my 2006 150's. Also new KUS analogue fuel gauges. What is the correct switched power lead from harness for analogue fuel gauges? Do I need to splice or is there an extra available? Thanks for help.

Just use house power for the fuel guage the same as hot to the light switch. Do you have a accy switch or master power?

Thanks for the reply but my gauge lights are powered by Nav Light switch, and fuel gauge operation should be on ignition switch.

Do you have master power to the helm? You can use power for the fuel guage there. It does not have to be from the ignition switch. Your master power is on when the engines are running correct?

I understand that but would prefer them to be on ignition switch.

Can you pull power from the tachs?
