Brief Description:  Primary wiring forward of firewall

Focused on getting the primary power wiring routing determined and started. There are three connections that attach to the hot terminal on the starter: 1) A 4AWG cable from the batteries; 2) A 6AWG cable to the Alternator; 3) A 6AWG cable to the Primary power buss behind the panel. Due to the limited length of the exposed threads on the stud on the starter, I combined the 4AWG cable with the 6AWG cable for the Alternator into a single connecting lug. With only two connecting lugs, the thread length is fine. Next, began the routing of the cables secured by Adel clamps from the starter back to the right side firewall where the 4AWG and the 6AWG primary power buss cables will pass through. (Note: In previous log entries, a 2AWG cable was fabricated to run between the batteries and starter. It was determined that it's not necessary to have that large/heavy of a cable, so it's been pulled to be replaced by the 4AWG cable.)
