Hi Guys,
I am moving my batteries from the stern to the CC on my 22' Angler. I re-powered a few months ago with a 2012 Yamaha F250. The dealer added a "13.5 Isolator Lead w/50A fuse" to protect the alternator in the event the Perko switch gets switched while the engine is running, I think. Sound right? Anyhow now I am moving the batteries and rewiring to clean up the mess under the CC. If I spring for a new Perko switch with built in alternator field disconnect (unit #8503 as opposed to #8501, which is what I have now) can I safely eliminate the Isolator Lead or am I off base with this thinking?
Thanks in advance
Jim
