Alas, another Perko question...
How do you guys connect all positive loads to the common of the Perko?
I don't have enough room on that post.
A lot of things like amps are connected directly to the house battery.
You create (or use) some kind of bus or distribution block to feed the Common terminal?

I am no expert here, but only one positive per battery to the switch.

Thats one of the downsides of the actual Perko brand battery switch.....its very shallow with short studs. A couple of solutions are to either use a heavy duty buss bar or a remote stud. This leaves the main starter cable and a short jumper to the buss or remote std, the only B+ cables on the "C" post.

That's what I'm thinking - some type of junction stud that can be covered. Not sure how a heavy buss would be insulated.
Anyone have any photos of how they handled this?Last edited by slipperyrockTKE300; 06-16-2014 at 12:01 PM.

Thank you!
One more question....any idea of what rating to get? Would this be a case where more is definitely better?
