Brief Description:  Auxiliary panel (starboard side near gear tower)

I decided to install dual P-Mags on my Lycoming and didn't realize until recently that they recommend two 3A switch circuit breakers for killing the main power to the P-Mags for testing their internal power generation feature. I know some builders just put the mags on a 3A fuse but if I am going to use switches now is the time to do the install while the airframe is fairly open.

Aanyway, the problem is I completely out of panel space. While I am not crazy about my solution, I decided to put a small aux panel under the main panel. It is set back flush with the starboard gear tower close to the switch console. The small panel has the remote ELT control, switched circuit breakers for the left and right P-Mags, a 12V power outlet, and an audible buzzer for the ELT alarm. There is a small amount of room for additional switches or indicators but I hope it remains unused.

I have to get some white lettering to label the switches and the power outlet.
