Centech AP-2 questions

Post by Jayken »

Ready to install one, What is the best place to mount it? What size relays shall I order from Easterbeaver? Do I need a fuse holder option? or can I get away with getting a relay kit from Centech. I live 25 minutes from them, I am picking up the box this week.

Mount your Centech as near to the devices it will supply as is practical. Go for the Easternbeaver relay kit not the Centech. Research the Easternbeaver site and email them if you have any problems choosing the right part. They are very helpful.

+1 on the helpfulness of the Easternbeaver people; service was remarkably good; nothing but good things to say about them.

email them and you will get a very timely response. Go longer on the relay for more flexibility--measure twice and order the next size up--you may change you mind about mounting location.

Thanks both for your valuable help, Ordered the wiring harness from Easternbeaver. Yes Jim was very helpfull, with very prompt email replys. Also picked up the Centech AP-2 box from the factory, yes they make it there , very nice good old American craftmanship. Now looking for the harness to deliver.

Jay,

I made a small angle bracket from a piece of aluminum I bought at Home Depot and mounted my Centech on the airbox using the two existing screws. Easy to install and convenient to get to. Used a small piece of plastic that I velcroed under the lip of the tank to insure water stayed off the Centech.
