Hi,
This is probably a silly question, but I'll ask it anyway.
When wiring a boat you need to know the current draw/amps of the item you are connecting to in order to determine the correct wire guage, and fuse sizes. Does this also apply to items on the engine, such as Oil pressure sensor, Water temp sensor, and Tach sensor? (my tach is the magnetic pickup type). I imagine the current draw for these would be very small, but they are all electrically operated and each has it's own circuit, so is there any consideration that should be applied to them to determine wire size and do they need fuses?
bluey.
