    Thanks Dave,

    The amp-draw at 32V is theoretically as you state later at around 712A... but I STILL only have a 100A fuse from the respective battery bank to the starter. So I'd have to argue that the actual amp draw isn't that egregious. If I can get someone to work with me one day I'll place my Fluke Clamp Ammeter on the starter and watch it while we crank one of the "girls". Rusty of "Seven"... you up for that?
