I appreciate all the help!

I've read a few different articles on breaker sizing (and my head is spinning)...it appears as though I would need a 150 amp breaker near the battery on it's way up to the starter. Does this sound correct?

Also, I'm thinking of going with a maxi fuse holder for the charge wire from the alternator. I think 8 gauge as suggested above will work just fine, but can't seem to find an appropriate fuse rating. The reason I'd like to go with a maxi fuse is that I can then use a maxi fuse block like what I have now and just a bigger one for the charge wire. My current one has 2 fuses...one that supplies power to the cars fuse panel and the other is for the electric fans.

Vince, I like what you did with the bulkhead down low and near the starter. It makes things nice and clean.

Heres one way.

You don't have to use the relay on the starter curcuit,some just use a jumper at the starter.

The 150 should be fine at the battery lead.

For the alternator I usually check full system loads but the maxi fuse I usually run a 70 amp.

8ga should be fine. It's rated for 75 amps. Doubt you output would see that.

One other question...what is the stud size on the breaker listed? Can't seem to find it anywhere.

You can buy blank 0/0 1/0 battery cable lugs and drill them to size.
