Master Contactor ?

[Terry Seaver <terrys@cisco.com>]

Hi all,

I noticed in Tony Krzyzewski's website
(October, 1999 page) a 300 amp master
contactor. This seems a great idea, used
only in case of a starter hang-up to
disconnect the battery, with only a 20 amp
rocker switch for the master switch. Like
Tony, I would hate to give up 1/15 of my
alternator capacity for a master relay.

Where can I get one of these, or something
similar ? Is there any downside ?

 BTW, does anyone know how much current
the Rotax (912S) starter draws ?
