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)...
