    The Key West product is designed to handle the 18+ amp
    output from a Rotax 912/914. It should work just fine
    on the SD-8.

    I'd really like to talk to the designer/manufacturer
    of the Key West regulator but have yet to identify
    anyone on net-searches. Has anyone on the list ever
    installed a Kew West product? Did the accompanying literature
    speak to who makes these critters?
