Safety overrides originality.
Show me one new vehicle with an ammeter.

Replace with an ammeter. They are not "archaic" and only become a fire hazard when hacks don't use fuses! An ammeter will show a true charge or discharge where as a volt meter shows volts. You can have the volts without any charging. You don't see ammeters anymore simply because it's cheaper to us a volt meter due to the smaller gauge wire needed.
Matt,
You already have the wire in the boat!!

Having a problem finding "said" fuse in your diagragm
What size fuse is recommended for a 105 amp alternator?? Also where would you recommend installing it?
Keep your ammeter and I'll keep my voltmeter and we will both live happily ever after
No hard feelings and no harm done.   Duane
Keep it as original as YOU want it
