This is a project I have wanted to do for a long time. We spend a lot of time on the hook, and I wanted a better way to read my battery voltages without going under the deck with a voltmeter. I used a 6 position rotory switch from Radio shack,I got the digital volt meter on e-bay for under $15 bucks,and a brother P-touch to make the labeling. I can read the voltage on any one of my 5 group 31 batteries at the turn of the switch. This whole set up including the meter, switch and wiring ran me under $30.00. The newer boats have this option, but if you have an old sled like me....Pretty cool and cheap DIY.
