sae Angler Registered: 06/12/17 Posts: 296 Loc: cedar hill tx.	I tied in to existing harness and my graph shows 11.8 volts.Iam going to rewire direct. Is 11.8 low enough to cause a prob? Thank"s in advance.

Capt Craig Extreme Angler Registered: 08/25/09 Posts: 1627 Loc: Richland-Chambers	Since you are going to wire directly to the battery, add an inline on/off switch on the dash. This will prevent your unit from accidentally turning on and will isolate it from any battery variations caused from the charger. _________________________ Capt.
