1 Wire the Instrument for auto power to have the Instrument turn on with the boat’s ignition switch

or to record engine hours or if the Instrument must add up the total fuel used (for example if
Northstar petrol/gasoline fuel sensors are installed or if SmartCraft is installed without fuel tank
level sensors). Otherwise wire for basic power (for more information, see section 2-2).
