Gents, thanks again for the responses....I have installed the manual (300 amp rated) disconnect 6" from the battery, and it is reachable for an emergency disconnect.

BobV,
The rule of thumb is to keep the fat wires that are bolted directly to B+ as short as possible.  My personal rule is less than 18 inches.
Is there a reason not to add a traditional start solenoid right at the battery?  In your case is may be redundant but it keeps the un-protected feeder length short.  You would have to move the master relay to that position also - so that's another few feet of #4.  This is probably less expensive than the manual disconnect & it keeps the big starter cable inert except during cranking.

Correct Bob N, I have only a 70amp relay to feed the bus.

So I have a fat wire (00) running from the battery behind pilot seat, to the firewall, from whence the starter fat wire is connected on the engine side, and a 4 awg behind the firewall to the bus through a contactor.

 You mean that your battery contactor is not
 mounted adjacent to the battery?
