Thanks to all the respondees on this question.=A0 And to respond to Bill's =
comments which where typical of others, the reason for putting the breaker =
here *is* to minimize the wire run length.=A0 I've put an access door in th=
e co-pilot seat back and between that and a cover over the backside of the =
area, I have my battery, battery contactor, hydraulic pump & relays, always=
-on bus and rear ground point all in about a 1 cuft volume.=A0 So this loca=
tion actually results in the shortest wire run length.=A0 The other options=
 I looked at - either on the panel, console or on the baggage bulkhead - ga=
ve me much longer runs of unprotected wire from the battery contactor.=0ANo=
