[dvnr] Amperage question, and gathering

[Joe Matkowski]

Hi all.
Got my answer.
I forgot there is the in line fuse on the negative side already.   35 amp.
So just need to duplicate this on positive side ( I can’t get to the
existing fuse, too far buried when battery is installed). I want to be able
to just pull the cover, and pull a fuse to break the circuit.
I’ll put a 35 or higher on this side, to act as my jumper.

Still need date of gathering though.  Trying to make it this year.

Joe
