From: rparigor@suffolk.lib.ny.us Hi Bud Thx. for the reply. "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." Do you just drill a 5/16" hole through firewall and sandwich terminals going to fat wires on top of firewall? At least put wide area washers on top of firewall? Or? Ron Parigoris ________________________________ Message 8 _____________________________________ Time: 12:19:01 PM PST US From: "Bud Yerly" Subject: Re: Europa-List: Has anyone run aft battery cables through footwell? Exactly right. Use large brass washers or stainless against the fiberglass, then nuts on both sides, then the terminal(s), lock washers and plain brass nuts if you like or star washers to assure the nuts are tight. Cover with a rubber ducky.

Thats not saying much since I have never wired anything except a room or two on some houses over the years. With that said I have been having trouble keeping my battery charged over the past 4 or 5 months. Gold Rush has 220 delightful hours on her, but lately she's just not charging the battery, or maybe I have a drain somewhere that wasn't there before. I have replaced the regulator, and the big blue capacitor. After charging the battery today I went out and bought a new voltage meeter. I checked the battery 1st to be at 12.5 volts, I checked the 30 amp fuzes and they are good. Last week I did find a loose ground and fixed it but to no avail. Today I check the output of both alternator wires as they we're connected at the GG connections to the regulator and they we're reading - 6.5. when connected. When disconnected from the regulator they didn't have a reading at all. Is that normal? I also checked the +B output to see if it was sending a charge and it read only .53 volts. If any of you have advise to this non understanding electronics guy that would like to be flying charged to safely get to sun-n-fun let me know. Thanks In Advance!! Jeff R.
