I had installed a voltmeter near the main panel in the galley when I first got the boat - way more useful in my opinion. checked the the disconnect plug by the engine too. it looked good so I just gooped it with some dielectric grease and plugged it back together. couldn't find any other plugs- it seems everything just runs straight to the instrument panel. (I refreshed all the connections to my main fuse panel and added a small sub panel with maybe 6 fuses to handle things like autopilot, radio, 12v outlets, etc. Did that about 5 yrs ago so I didn't have to piggyback on any of the original circuits) don't know yet if I'll replace the ammeter or not, I don't really miss it. BTW my boat is 12v only, no shore power.
