    in that case, (also depends on what bar you have) the first one is only 15amps. and your switch pro is good to 18amps per switch, so you should be fine just using one switch for each one.

    I’m way late to this but 100% yes. That’s one of the greatest trails ever.

    Make sure you book the minute sites are available. We booked Murphy’s hogback. Registration opened at 12:00 midnight. All sites gone by 12:01. :eek:

    I think someone said this but wire the switch pro to the relay. Then the high load goes through the relay not the switch pro. That’s how my high load stuff is.

    Lol had to go back and look at my invoices

    The 20" bar I had was a high power
    And I traded that for a 30" driving

    So 15A it is >.>

    Well the motor swap that is happening needed to have a rear end that could support the power so the investment just made sense

    This ^^^^^^. And I wouldnt run any loads on that pricy, fancy switch pro. Use cheap realays for the load so when they burn up its cheap to fix and that fancy switch pro stays safely isolated

    Just been looking for a good clean way to do it that can be easily wired and organized
    So if y'all have any pictures of examples that would be sweet
    As much as I understand wiring diagrams real pictures are way easier for my peanut brain to understand

    Relays are small and can be hidden in places.or some make a bank of them.
    Zip ties , wire molding and sheaths to hide the wires.
    Try to keep them all routed nice and tight to the same lines. Aviod the spaghetti look.
    Lots of zip ties and take your time..

    Can anyone school me on Pismo? I know a lot of you guys go. Trying to go with a few friends for the first time in Jan and I’m not sure what I need as far as passes and camping?
