Re: fine tuning electrical/12 volt systems ------------------------------------------------ Those who are in the marine/yachting/sailing field often know a great deal about optimizing 12 volt power systems. They must....they live on them at sea. Some extremely well written books on the topic are available in a number of sailing/yachting stores. For example: Wiring 12 Volts for Ample Power David Smead and Ruth Ishihara Rides Publishing Company 2442 NW Market Street #43 Seattle, Washington 98107
also good by these people, even better is: Living on 12 Volts with Ample Power
Lots of schematics, sources of 12 volt tweaking supplies, lists, etc. etc.
