Good news and thanks ! I did not know this and is highly beneficial ! I've had my 1315 installed with the aux start feature since 4 ~ 5 years now. Ran a #4 gauge wire out of the main battery box through one of the existing holes along side one of the other wires, then across above the fuel tank and into the aux battery box through a newly drilled and grommeted hole. Works like a charm.
