After 17 months of part-time building my 21' launch, I'm wrapping up construciton and starting to work out wiring details.
I try to glean all I can from this group and the EV folks. Something I see in the cars, but not so much in boats is an emergency disconnect switch in case of powertrain runaway.
It seems that it might be really handy in the event of a failure to be able to totally disable the battery bank without leaving the helm.
The EVs sometimes use "big red switches" within reach of the driver, and sometimes use a mechanical cable to actuate a switch remotely.
Since I want to keep the battery bank wiring as short as possible, I'm leaning toward the latter method.
This disconnect would be in addition to the keyswitch actuated battery bank contactor and typical fusing.
Any thoughts?
