Brief Description:  Cabin Heat wires get run

After working on the Turtle Deck fill I went home for a break and found a box of goodies in the mail from Stein. Yes! I mapped out how I wanted to wire these heaters and got myself all turned around real quick. 2 heaters both needing separate power wires, and fuses sent to 1 SPST 50 amp monster switch then back to the Battery. Wrong. I was going to let the switch handle Both power and ground and thought, "dang this is a lot of wire..." Then it hit me... Why not just let the switch interupt the ground path and keep it simple. DUH!
So I ran a pair of 14awg wires through the highway clamps I installed, forward from the panel Switch up to the Battery and then a pair of them to the forward floor where they will get soldered to the Fuses and a set of Deans Connectors. I love Deans. No they aren't Molex but they also handle bursts up to 100 amps! 15 amps is a walk in the park for Deans. the Deans will allow a quick disconnect option if I need to remove the heaters for any reason.
Today was about half head scratching and half working. At least my head doesn't itch anymore :)
