Hello All,

After several months steep learning curve (still steep), I have come up with a design that meets my particular requirements. I have followed Bobs advice and gone for the Z13/8 type architecture. I have made some "minor" additions to give me an asymmetric split bus. To support dual electronic ignition, I need a backup battery and power supply and the attached design gives that with the minimum of fuss.
I am writing to the group to ask for some help with regards the following:
  1. Dual electronic ignition is powered by either bus using bridge rectifiers. There are four ON/OFF ignition switches to allow for testing of each supply to each ignition system individually. Two (2-10)s won't do it. Is there a switch that does OFF-ON-ON-BOTH? This would allow me to reduce the four switches to two. Can anyone think of any other way to test each of the four ignition power circuits?
  2. Comments on the design. I am not looking for an endorsement, rather a critical eye on any mistakes or bad practise Can you point out anything that I may have missed?
  3. How do I cater for the charge current limited aux battery that I plan to install Do I need to anything special at all i.e. will the design do the job without additional modification? Attached is the spec. of a battery that I can source locally. Cycle use charging is limited to 2.88Amp and trickle use limited to 1.08Amp.
  4. Can anyone make any recommendations with regards an antenna and cabling for my GARMIN 496? I will be panel mounting it. Satellite weather is not available in Europe, and I am having difficulty sourcing an antenna that is not dual weather/GPS capable. The cost o f these antennas is prohibitive.

Thank you for your help.
