Fusible Link and the Starter Motor

[fastd]

thanks again patrick.

I wanted to find a circuit breaker but I couldn't find one with reviews strong enough so I figured a mega fuse has fewer moving parts/simpler design.

btw, i called the tech support line where i got my alternator (PowerMaster - they are terrific, a real person picks up the person, excellent tech support, they built me a custom alternator at a very fair price). they suggested that the way to wire this is to:
1. run the cable for the starter and alternator to the battery side of the switch;
2. add my mega fuse to the powered/switched side of the switch for everything else.

that seems to make sense to me (it also helps me with my issue with the kill switch)
