Brief Description:  Conectorize rear 12v dc aux plug and run wire. Sta

The plan is to wire two 12V dc aux power ports. I elected to make the rear seat one be an always hot port so that it can be used to charge cell phone or power up portable gps if needed w/o requiring me to switch on a master switch. This port will have a 10 amp in-line fues on 14awg wire. That should be more than enough. It should also allow me to use a trickle charger through the port as well.The pilot DC port will be powered through the avioncs switch which in turn is switched on and off from battery switch. I installed the front dc port in the lower rt side console and also installed its own 10 amp CB next to it. Just need to power the CB.
Whilke I was at it, I installed my Wig Wag switch(purchased from B&C) for the landing/taxi lights just aft of the DC port. Since lights should already be on for landing, all ill need to do is flip that switch if I want flashing wig wag operation. It also will have 10amp cb adjacent.
Finally, I made a mounting plate for the flasher unit fom some .050 aluminum that I will attach to the bottom of the same console with two #6 cs screws. The flasher is secured to mounting plate with some amazing goop.
The wirework done on rear dc port was protected with shrink tube and some snake skin. Secured the wires to the vertical brace with one adel clamp and some zip ties
