I installed the Grand Rapids EIS and a few back up analog engine gages. After 450 hours in it, would never go back to a non engine monitor that constantly watches the engine and immediately flashes a red light when one goes out of range.

Did back it up with one analog AS in case I was putting it down without any voltage, at least would not have to wonder what my AS was while the addrenlun (sp) was pumping. My understanding is that you only should ground one end of shielded wire. Have heard this from several experienced folks that I trust.
