Hi,
I'm installing a MOB+ and where should I pull the power from? The closest instrument is the fuel gauge.
Parker 2110. Yamaha 175 Salt Water Series II carb. There is yellow 12v+ I can get to on the back of the analogue tack or fuel gauge. These are the only two instruments so I'm guessing not a lot of load there already.
The MOB+ specs say: fuse 1-3 volts, use wire 20 AWG, and Recommended Wire the xHUB to a circuit with a power switch to avoid battery drainage. The xHUB has a power draw of 30mA in idle mode while connected to a power source.
I have an open switch on the panel and could go there. Seems like an extra step to turn on the panel switch and then turn the key. Any suggestions or reasons I should not daisy chain power off the instruments? That's the closest open tap point after the key on the Yamaha harness. Then MPB+ has power at engine start up (I know I'll have to turn the key, connect the Fob, and then turn key to start), and when you turn off the engine you turn off the MOB+. Seems logical, anything I'm missing?
Thanks
