Steve,

                     Dual batteries, dual master switches through dual 
solenoids.  alternator switch, Standard alternator  checked every 100 
hours,  spade fuses on everything.  Basic and definitely not flash.  
Same old story, how far can you go with backup?  You have one prop, one 
engine, one rad , one set of hoses, one ecu, etc.  Just review where you 
fly as without insurance, I do not want to land in a preschool and 
live!  These days it is just "insurance" to fly and take the train for 
the final bit.

Neil.
