Routing of gauges/computers

[john j]

I route my gauges and computers thorough the center channels. In my opinion, it reduces the entanglement hazard because the hoses and computers are closer in instead of hanging at the outside. It also makes it easier to compare readings on the displays because they are always right next to each other which may not be the case if you have them on the outside unless you keep them clipped together. It's a nearter and more trim kit if you route on the inside too. One of my buddies prefers the outside configuration becasue he says he can rest the dispalys on the top of his stage bottles and can view them by just looking down at them. My only comment against that is that probably wouldn't work too well in restricted openings or hallways of wrecks or if ther is a lot of current. I'd suggest you try both configurations and see what works best for your diving. Most of the people I have seen use the standard factory position (outside position) I think becasue they haven't needed to try another way becuase it isn't causing any issues for them or perhaps they just haven't thought of it. I'm really happy with the inside posistion since I started using it. I have defineately noticed less catching of the displays on objects near me since I switched.
