My 3 gauge setup consists of oil pressure, Volts, and water temperature (Equus electrical gauges). I have the Voltage gauge running to a spdt switch so I can switch between aux battery or main battery with a center off position. The main battery doesn't need the center off as it senses 12 volts from an "ignition on" source.
