In the FWIW department,
On my last 2 installations, (L-IV) I decided to go with a heavier-duty relay for start, master, ground-power, and hydraulic pump. I used the same relay in all 4 places for parts commonality. The relays are Stancor part number 124-903 (available from Allied Electronics under part number 576-1061). I believe they're also available from Grainger and I'm sure others. That part number is for the 24 volt version. They also have a 12 volt version, but I don't have the part number handy. They're rated at something like 400 amps, and are commonly used in electric forklifts I understand. They are a bit heavier than the plain-ol' automotive type so commonly used, but they have coin silver contacts and are just all-around better built. Price is around 25 bucks.
