....and if you have a fwd C of G problem in doing that, a thicker cable
could if not solve the problem, then alleviate it...you can try a simple
voltage drop test, i. e. put a voltmeter on the plus lead at the starter
and battery ends, start the engine and observe the drop along the cable.
If it's high you have too much resistance and should either move the
battery or thicken the lead.

Hi!Henk
Whilst I guess you don't have a 3300 Jabiru
Installation IMHO I would cut your hassle by
moving the battery installation to a position
front of the firewall. This will reduce the
demand power needed from the battery .
I've "been there got the "tee" shirt!
Regards and merry Christmas from Sweden
