It took me about 20 hours to install an EDM-700 with EGT,CHT,oil temp,
and carb temp probes on my Cherokee Six. It isn't hard work, just very
time consuming. If you are at all handy, I'd suggest you find a
mechanic that will let you do the install under his supervision. You'll
get it in the way you want it, learn stuff about your plane and save
some money (well if you don't count the value of your time anyway).


I should add, that 20 hours included the time to remove the existing
single cylinder EGT, move the clock, move the autopilot switches and 2
circuit breakers, cut the panel and make a 2-1/4 instrument overlay, and
fabricate and install and wire a new subpanel for the relocated circuit
breakers plus the new one for the monitor. My EDM-700 is installed
where the spare fuses once were, which were replaced by the switches and
breakers when the AP and strikefinder were installed. Without that
panel work, it would probably have been about 12 hours to pull all the
wires, install the sensors, add the circuit breaker and connect it all up.
