Dick, To the best of my knowledge, none of the coupe (et.al.) series uses a relay; the master switch passes all the current.
For those of you who worry about the gas tank under the
panel, most Cessnas place the primer right next to the
MASTER and mag/starter switches. Primers are notoriously
leaky. Also, the fuel lines run through the doorposts and
the tanks which have rubber hose connecting lines are right
above your head (my Skylane carried 84 gallons) - I'm not
sure that the coupe's tank location is any more hazardous
than that.
As Harry says, better to "fly safe."
