First, I have a Lanyard to wire in this year. Does anyone have any diagrams of the wiring on one to the igniton switch? Its a true pain to get to my igintion, so I want to do it once.
Second, I am installing all my Gaffrig gauges today, thanks to Kirk at Elite Marine :bow: Dude hooked me up and even fixed a problem without any troubles. Anyway, my factory gauges are only grounded on one spot, yet my Gaffrig gauges offer a ground on the gauge and a ground on the light. Question is do I need to ground both of them, or will the gauge ground work for both like on my previous gauges?

Thanks guys!

The easiest way to take care of the grounds is make short jumpers with ring connectors on them. Jump from the ground stud to the light ground stud.
Thank you for the kind words, I enjoy selling quality products, do everything I can to take care of the customer and am very glad that you were satisfied with your purchase and my service. If you need anything, let me know.
Post some pictures when you can, I'd love to see the finished product.

Yeah, I figured jumper wires would work best, are you telling me I HAVE to ground the light as well as the gauge Kirk?
I will get some pictures of it when it is finished, but here is how it looks as of today.

Yes. Run a ground from the negative buss bar to the first gauge then jumper to the next gauge to connect to all the gauges and then use short jumpers to pick up the ground for the light on each gauge.
Panel looks nice. Nice bezel on the Depth Gauge!!
Thanks again for the order!

you have a hot wire from the ignition .... a ground .. and a wire from the Sender ...the lamp plugs into the gauge and has a white wire and a black wire ... put the Black wire on the ground terminal on the Gauge and The white wire goes to the dash Lamp switch ... as stated there should be a ground bus under the dash ...Go from the ground bus to the closet gauge and the jump to the next gauge ..and so on ....when you get to the last gauge you can jump back to the Ground Bus just as backup ground incase you have a failure ...but its not neccessary and is seldom done .....m
