If I wire the alt. to the switched side of the main ( that feeds the fuse box), the engine will still run if the main disconnect is off because the alt. is still feeding 12v to the fuse box while the engine is still running.
Thus the location of the alt. wire on the source side of the main switch, not the fuse box side.

I might be looking at the diagram wrong but it looks like the battery is not killed by the switch, hot wire still on post along with the ground??
The alt and big red wire to sol. would have to be on the other side of main switch to completely shut off current from the bat, pourpse of main disconnect. That alt wire is still hot according to that drawing.
