I have an aft mounted Odyssey PC545 on my 914 XS Monowheel. In order to make instrument module more user friendly to remove, it makes a lot of sense in my situation to run my negative #4 aluminium clad cable (.425" on diameter that is on the port side of fuse) along the top outboard side of the port footwell, then into engine compartment.

Has anyone done this? 

Details would be greatly appreciated including how you sealed penetration.

Thx.

Ron,



I haven't done it, but I don't see why it wouldn't work.

 I always run the power and ground from the battery, under the door sill,  then through the panel via 5/16 brass studs for firewall interface.
