Hi, I'm new to this forum although I have followed TY 4 Stroke for the past couple of years.
I am installing a temperature gauge on my 2012 Apex XTX and need to know the best/easiest locations to tap in to the 12V and Ground wires. Reading through the other temp gauge installation blogs, the blue/white wire is mentioned, but I can't seem to locate it on my sled.
Any help would be greatly appreciated - pics would be amazing!
Thanks!!!

You can just tie into the 12v accessory on left side of key switch panel. This is fused circuit and is energized once sled starts.
