Trunk mounted battery...where to run alternator output?

[cpd004]

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.
