[Boatanchors] [ForSale-Swap] Power supply question

I thought so and as someone else mentioned, Astron rates their supplies 
for peak output, not continuous.  I have an RM-70 which I think is rated 
at 50 amps continuous.  I am not sure I would count on 50 amps 
continuous, maybe 40-45.  When I use it to power my Icom 756 it doesn't 
take long for the fan to start.

I don't have the connection detail Barrie, would you share please?
