Re: 2005 Electricals or 2006?

2005 because it is what I would have designed if I were doing it. The electrical runs are straightforward, minimum loss, with monitoring and good electrical input posts. The high current positions are near the input terminal. I also like the fact that ground returns are numbered to match the fuse (output) positions and there are more positions than the smaller blocks. The Maxi blocks require some fudging to get a reliable contact on #6 (folding stranded wire is not a good way to fill the hole) although the distro block is an easy way for inexperienced electrical teams to get a good return connection.
