I'd like to see this circuit too, it sounds interesting. It might be a while before I get to it, at the rate I'm going down rabbit holes currently though. Yesterday my AC wiring job resulted in removal of my hot water tank, among other things. With it removed, I now have a clearer view of my engine starter and transmission that I want to service, so the list keeps getting longer... -- Shawn Wright shawngwri...@gmail.com S/V Callisto, 1974 C&C 35 https://www.facebook.com/SVCallisto
