Troy,

My system is designed with a starter switch which turns the engine and 
provides power to the trim system (which can be turned off in case of 
trim runaway).  The mags are controlled via rocker switches.  Crank the 
engine, first, then add mags, one at a time.  A picture of the 
installation is viewable on my Dec 5th entry at my build site (see sig 
line)...
