I spent a fair amount of time today trying to decide where to locate the busses, Approach Systems hub, and the bridge/diode for the essential buss. I decided to mount the battery, main, and essential busses to the aft side of the sub panel so they would be accessible with the tip-up canopy open and to make the wiring runs as short as possible. Drilling the hubs to the subpanel only took a couple of minutes once I finally made the decision on where to put them.I decided to mount the diode that will be used to allow current from the main bus to the essential bus and prevent current from flowing the other way around if I ever needed power the essential buss directly from the battery on the forward side of the sub panel in between the main and essential busses.I drilled the Approach Systems hub to the aft side of the firewall in the top center area. This will allow the cables to run straight from the Dynon's and radios to the hub without making any stange bends. I will need to cut some access holes in the sub panel at some point in order to run the cables.
Battery, main, and essential or endurance busses drilled and clecoed to sub panel
Approach systems hub drilled and clecoed to firewall
Essential or endurance bus diode and heat sink drilled to sub panel
