Hello. I have a Zodiac 601 HDS with an 80 HP Rotax 912. I bought it from
the
builder 3 years ago. The gentleman who built it wired it so that the
Hobbs meter runs when the
master switch is on. Once he left the master on overnight and that ran
the Hobbs overnight so he
made a separate switch for the Hobbs by taking over a switch that had
been used for Nav lights.
I would like to rewire the Nav lights. I have heard that the Hobbs
should not be wired to the Master but
should only run when the engine is engaged.
What say you, members of the jury? Thanks.
Regards,
Damien

You can hook it up with the oil pressure sensor so it will only run when i
t has oil pressure

Damien:
Why do you have a Hobbs meter anyway? Schools use a Hobbs Meter for
charging students. All you need are a TACH Hrs.
Pull the Hobbs, save the weight and SELL IT.
BTW - Hobbs Meters are hooked up to a Oil Pressure Switch so they start and
stop recording when the engine is running.
