I just completed the Honda Marine Voltmeter install. (P/N 37450-ZW5-000ZA VOLT KIT $16 to $22) I installed it where the headlight adjuster use to live. I NEVER used the adjuster and as one of the listers mentioned, its a logical place for it (was that you Jeff B?) I had a VFR and Its a great bike but prone to reg/rec failures. A voltmeter can tell you if the regulator is trending up or down. With that paranoia, I wanted a voltmeter on my ST. I purchased a lcd voltmeter that was mentioned on the list. It came from a company that sells aftermarket farkles for Ducati (hint hint hint). It installed easy, took power from the fan motor circuit, it being switched and easy to get to. The mfg. said it was "water resistant" so I silicone sealed it just to be sure. Needless to say the soaking at Bandera Tx. killed the little puppy. It looked kinda cheeze stuck to the dash also. Why would I expect a aftermarket item made for a Ducati, mfg. in China to work??????? oh well.

The Honda voltmeter went in with no fuss, and used the existing wiring. I used a dremel tool to open the hole, a real life saver. Now is your excuse to get one!! %^). The windshield came off, along with the cover for he instruments. I also took off the lt side of the faring for ease of access. The adjuster knob unscrews and comes out easy. the head lite adjuster panel has two screws and it comes out.

You have to jump the lite to power, since boats sometimes have the lights on with no motor running. See pic.

Hook up the voltmeter to power and put it all back together. I took the adjuster and tywrapped to the metal support under the dash. It still adjust the headlight, but now its not as convenient. Just reach up under the dash to do it.

The results came out WayKewl, and looks FAC-TOE-RAYYYYYY. YeSiReeeeeeeBOB.
