Europa-List: Electrical questions

Hi all,

I am at that interesting stage (not sanding & filling).  I have a couple of 
questions.

1.  The Rotax engine monitor shows a double pole switch that is for disabling 
the
waste gate servo.  Why would I want this, has anyone fitted this ?

2.  The Europa manual shows a 25 amp switch for between the alternator output 
and
the main buss.  I intend to install an OVP so I don't see the need for an 
additional
switch, am I missing something here.

3.  Last question, what have folks been using for 30 amp slow blow fuses.  The
only thing I have come across is fusible links the Bob Nuckles uses which I 
don't
particularly care for.

My current thinking is an E-Buss feed arrangement with an auxiliary battery, but
to still feed one fuel pump (914) directly from the alternator output as 
described
in the Europa & Rotax manuals.

I welcome any comments.

Thanks,  Paul
