Circuit board load is 75 amps, that's my problem lol. I will figure out something out just wondering if anybody else came across this

I just went back and read the rules. I agree with Tom. Since it isn't required you can put it anywhere you want. Never dreamed about the 75 amp deal. Blows my toggle switch idea away.

Jamie,

I suggest you call Digital Delay. They are very helpful and easy to work with. They may have an easy solution.

I use a simple disconnect mounted to the battery.
It's legal and cheap.

75AMPS??? How are you coming up with a 75AMP load? Are you worried about a battery drain while parked? What is drawing current with everything off?

Eman, that is what the total board load is according to digital delay. Wasn't sure if I installed a cutoff under hood if it was legal. As far as power drain, board is lit up, engine start button is lit up and dial board is on(could change that one).
