I have a few hints already,
What kind of wire are you planning to use to go to the sensors? It's important that the power from the sensor be keyed to each side and let each set of ignition be the power for the individual sensors. I know this sounds kind of silly, but Consumer Marine sold me really nice section of 4 conductor wire with Red, black green and white 20GA wire inside. I used the same red and black pair off of of the STB ignition to power both sensors. They should have not reccomended that and if I had to do it over, I would have run two separate 3 conductor cables to each sensor just as the diagram shows.Second, I used a local company called Jamoco graphics to make a switch plate for the GPH/MPG; Port/Starbord; Fuel totalizer reset and what ever the 4th switch was. It looks just like factory Bertram plate and cost about 40 bucks. Much better then anything I could have made.
When RPMC was down with the laptop hooked up to the ECU, I had him read off the RPM's to verify the tachs were reading OK. Thru the entire range there were no variations on tach readings. Dead on (rounds to the nearest 10 RPM's). I know the lower twinscans were overkill, but they just looked so cool.
