[Public-List] Yanmar 2GM Starting Current

[gregr at nethere.com]

I'm in the middle of the joyous job of rewiring and need to size my battery
cables and battery fuses.(I'm a bit sick in the head as I actually do like
doing the electrical) The Yanmar starter is rated at 1kW so at 12V that's
about 85 Amps. The guy at West suggested 150A for the fuses which seems
reasonable.

What currents have people been designing for?
Where are batteries being stowed?

As always, Thanks for all the help with my continuing refit!
