You can pick the hot lead off of the oil pressure guage, and the ground to any of the grounds behind the panel.

I would assume you could come off the hot side of your ignition wire. Then ground to the panel. I dont think I would run it all the way back to the motors. Your other option is run it back to your batteries.

I just ran the wire to my breaker panel down below the helm picked up ground and positive there. Just use one of your acc breakers.

Does the '06 come with ACC switches? If so that would probably work if they are there and not being used.
