Well, I ended up tearing out the 10 awg.... :-O ...charge wiring they installed and replaced it with 6 awg., fused at the thruster battery bank with an mrbf.

I did install a Victron argo 200amp fet isolator in the positive cable and so far it seems ok...... runs cool and the charge is getting thru with only a very minimal voltage drop. It does seem to be a nice piece but I never did receive any tech help, even after phone calls and e mails with drawings.... :banghead:

End of saga. :down:
FWIW.....The above is just my opinion..... :popcorn:
