The RV10 has a known issue with potential overheating in the tunnel. I have a spare D100 OAT probe and a Skyview AHARS OAT. Is it possible to configure either of these for Skyview to display the tunnel temperature? Obviously I could show it on a PFD screen but this would likely screw up TAS calculations etc. I was thinking of using a general purpose input on the engine monitor and showing it on the engine monitor display.

You can use a D100 OAT on a SkyView EMS to measure anything you want. Use the blue and yellow wires and leave the red unconnected. Then you tell SkyView it's a OAT probe and give it whatever name you want.
Along these same lines, I'm installing a dual SV on the left with a D60 on the right as a back up.
Since I have the OAT probe for the SV already wired to the Adahrs, is there any reason to run the second OAT to the D60? Does it need its own OAT to function properly"
TIA

The D60 cannot use an OAT probe for anything, so there is no reason to hook one up. The OAT/TAS/DA is one of the differences between a D60 and a D100.
My intention is to add a second OAT probe as a cowling temp monitor and the spare one I have is the 3 wire type.
I'm being a bit dim here but what pins do the blue and yellow wires connect to on the DB37?
Both to GP inputs, or one to a GP input and the other to ground and if so airframe ground or EMS ground?

One of those two wires goes to the GP input of you choice. The other to ground. It doesn't matter which. It's basically treated like an EMS two wire probe. The red wire remains unconnected.
