The main reason I did this was to keep all high-current wiring away from the mag compass on the panel. I adopted the same philosophy with the hydraulic pump circuit protection as well. The 40A Maxi-Fuse for that one is down on the right side of the NLG tunnel near where I installed the bypass valve. I put a tie-wrap around the fuse and left the tail sticking up so I could grab it and extract the fuse without a tool in an emergency. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> LML homepage: http://www.olsusa.com/Users/Mkaye/maillist.html
