Brief Description: Test run of the 2 AWG wire
|
|
After looking at all the options, and the likely propellor I will be using, I have decided that it's better for me to have the battery mounted under the back baggage area instead of the firewall. I had been planning on a lighter prop, and the battery mounted on the firewall, but that plan does not fit for me anymore. Therefore, I am working thru the changes in the wire runs that moving the battery entail. One of those changes involves the big fat 2 AWG wire that runs from the battery contactor to the starter contactor. I was initially going to have a short run of the 2 AWG, but now it will be much longer, so I need to order some more 2 AWG. Needing to know how much to order, I used the #2 wire that I already have plus some string and ran the wire route from the firewall hole back under the front baggage area, into and down the left gear tower, under the left console, into the spar cavity and then under the cockpit floor thru the conduit to the back baggage where the battery will be. Having done this exercise, I feel better about the wire routing and I am feeling better about this battery location change.
I have also been calling around about my panel label options...

the big fat white wire is the #2, it's not going to be close to the fuel filter

this is the 2 AWG making it's way thru the gear tower
