    AC Volmeter

    I am thinking installing two of these to replace the old voltmeters. Wondering if anyone has done the same already? Not cheap, but I don't mind because I want the accuracy and multifunctionality.

    I have the Blue Seas multimeters with the red LED display. Love them as I can read them from a distance. Huge improvement

    I am wanting to put them in the original location on my panel in place of the old ones and wondering if that is possible and if they will fit. Not near my boat at the moment.

    They fit in a round hole with the display itself being surface mounted.
