<div>Steve,</div><div>I am told it may fail, but I am not convinced. I expect the contacts to carbon up but I am using big robust relays and I will drill them out. They are pretty cheap to replace annually.</div><div>The reason for putting them in the battery box is reduced cable length. I have to have the weight of the batteries at the very back end of the sub for balance. That means the cables would be 6 feet to the penetrator then to the relays then back out to the motors. I would be running 50 amps 12 feet. I have a fairly small battery bank and don't want to waste power on long cable leads.</div><div>I made the battery box today and it turned out great!</div><div>Hank</div><div><br></div>

<div>James,</div><div> i decided to make a fibreglass box today by cutting up an old canopy. i am killing two birds with one stone, because I have to get rid of it anyways. I like it being Fibreglass anyways for safety reasons. I am making it longer to accommodate relays also.</div><div>Hank</div><div>ps; how is your new build coming</div><div><br clear="none"></div>
