Hi All,
I want to install a BlueSea 12v meter to monitor two batteries. I have a basic two battery system with a 1/2/Both/Off selector switch and want to wire the meter through dual pole 3 position toggle switch, Momentary On / Off / Momentary On, to monitor each battery separately. I also want to go directly to the batteries so I can check voltage without having to power up the boat. I have a basic understanding on the wiring to do this, but would like to get some confirmation from the experts here. Also, there is wiring on the back of the meter for a backlight. Is there a way I can wire this backlight so that it only comes on when I toggle on batt. 1 or batt. 2? I don't want to have it on all the time. I've included a photo of the back of the meter and toggle switch.
Thanks again for all your help.
