Any thoughts as to why a second volt meter is in the dash of a Sport Nautique where the hour meter normally is placed? Thanks, James

Those gauges have clearly been replaced by a prior owner. Who knows why they may have added a second voltmeter. Could be any number of reasons, and you'll probably never know. Maybe they just wanted to have all of the holes filled without using a blank. That's my guess, especially seeing the aftermarket compass that they mounted too.I own and operate Silver Cove Marine, which is an inboard boat restoration, service, and sales facility located in Mooresville, North Carolina.

Weird, but I kinda like the old-school compass.

Richie used to be good stuff. Not a bad thing to have on the Great Lakes. Not so sure about the inland lake I boat on these days since the Vid hit. You could always replace it with something else like oil temp or trans oil temp if you just wanted to get something else in there. I have to admit it would bug me too.
I'll second the statement about a good looking dash.Comment

Maybe the previous owner was trying to balance out the dual speedos with dual voltage gauges.

That maybe right and also along the same lines as a way to monitor the stereo system that was installed.Comment

James Salisbury Let's see some photos and details of your boat! It's 6 °F and snowing here, and I have a major case of the winter blues!

I've been thinking of adding a second voltmeter on that blank spot on my SN.
I have a separate battery bank with an external fuse box for extra accessories, lights and the stereo system. I charge the battery every so often because it's not hooked up to the alternator. Mine is a 1999 SN, over 20 years old and having all the goodie's separate from the boats electrical wiring makes it easy to add stuff without worries.
I guess I could add a bigger alternator, relay, etc… but this is simple and also a reason to have an extra voltmeter on that blank spotComment

Thanks Speedy, I like the separation from the rest of of the boat’s wiring. Also, having an empty spot to fill allows you to keep your engine’s hour meter.Comment
