    Why not take the bus feeder off the starter contactor?

Bob,



Seems like your solution is to put the battery contactor near the

battery, and the starter contactor on the firewall with the bus feeder

and alternator wired to that.



That is what I'll do, but doesn't that leave the 4awg wire between the

two contactors unprotected or will the battery contactor fail before the

wire does?  Are you saying that this wire doesn't need to be protected

because it can be switched off by the pilot?



Thanks for the answers,

schu
