Yeah, I get that if you wire it to the ignition that it will log false time if you have key in with it not running and that it’ll add the bit of time we run the fan and not the engine. But we can live with that. (It’s a 1978!)I wired my hour meter a little differently. Since you are supposed to run the engine vent fan for several minutes before engine start, the electric choke would always be in the full hot position since the key had to be on to run the fan. I decided to wire the electric choke power through the oil pressure switch. While at it I wired the hour meter that way too. Then it only runs when the engine is actually running. See my schematic.
Exactly. I never had a boat wired so the key had to be on for the blower to run, should be hot all the timeNormally the blower is run direct from the Bat (thru fuse) so key ON is not required
Wow! this is awesome! Thank you so much.
