Terry,
  Regarding the Bosch relays, do you have part numbers available and are
these relays available over-the-counter at places like AutoZone or NAPA?
  And, now that you have us wondering, would you care/dare to elaborate on
your 200A mobile requirements?

Tnx & 73 de
Mike / W8DN

> If you want relays, I would consider two types. Bosch makes two very nice
relays for vehicular use - one is rated to 35 amps and uses slip-on
terminals, the other is rated to 70 amps and uses screw terminals. I use a
few of each throughout my vehicle (yes, I really have that much current to
handle - 1/0 ga. wire breakered at 200 amps) and they work flawlessly.
Beware of solenoids, many are meant for starter applications only and are
NOT continuous duty cycle devices. You will overheat one and start a fire
rather quickly!
