Hydraulic Place Diverter Installation

[455Rocket]

Hey guys,
Gettin' ready to install a used hyd. diverter... just looking for any tips beyond the obvious
The gear:
Place Diverter on Berk. 12JC - Rex marine wheel switch and wiring harness - going w/ some "sano" s.s. braided lines and bulkhead fittings (one of the few perks of working in the Aircraft industry)

Imperative that the power to the hydraulic unit gets a full 12 volts of power or it won't function properly. 11.9 don't git it! Straight to the battery, not to the key. The rest is a no-brainer.
Rio
Just put a breaker inbetween the diverter power and bat, and you will be fine.

Hmmm... The power wire in the harness is at the key, it figures. How about a relay?

Thats a good idea and it will insure a min of 12v that way and work as a breaker.

cheaper than a fire!

Not as far as my insurance co. is concerned! All im sayin' is there's a much cheaper way to do it... sans fire
Oh ya, I sell fire extinguishers too... There's enough Halon 1211 onboard to put out an aircraft carrier :boxed:
