Thanks again gentlemen for the suggestions. As It turns out , after
consulting the folks at Garmin, it looks like I should be able to get 12v
to my Hobbs meter from the GEA24. Pin 9 on connecto ...

Interesting Joe.
Looks like the XH-M609 may work. Should I mount it beside my fire extinguisher? Smile

Joking..but seriously, for a unit like that would it be
unlikely to cause a major issue if ...

Thanks for the Ideas.
Kenryan, I have seen the vibration activated hour meters. Definitely

You lost me at "I've sketched out an adapter circuit that would interface ...

Either way works. But I'm mystified as to why
the SureFly would depend on Slick operations

I suspect that what he's saying is that the Surefly d ...

Not sure if this is relative to my Hobbs meter "Enable" situation or

I will be using a SureFly and a Slick mag for my ignition s ...

Ok Bob here's what I did to check the hourmeter.
I connected a power supply to the positive and negative pins on the
hourmeter. This illuminated the LCD digits but elapsed time was not recorded. ...

Will do Bob. I'll try and get that set up tomorrow and post what I find.
Thanks.
