Yes Bill. These are not mutually exclusive. We could do an integrated box and individual contactor replacements.
Just not all at once.

Here's a picture of the first prototype case that came in recently. By building the model in SolidWorks, we can work out a lot of the bugs in the model before making the first real part. It appears that all the main connectors fit properly (pictures coming soon), but the bottom lip is not quite right.
Here's the model:
Here's the real thing:

We are evaluating and prioritizing the feedback received so far. Thanks and keep it coming!
The circuitry has not been finalized - we're working through different designs at this point. Some of the features may be be incorporated - we'll let you know as things progress. Other features could be included in other versions of this product line.
Below are some pictures of the prototype case with the power lugs installed. It is still empty at this point. We'll have one of these in our booth as well as one in Stein's booth.

I would also be interested in individual contactor replacements.
Is that box weather proof? I've lost some firewall mounted electronics due to water already ...

We're determining how 'weather proof' it needs to be. Anyone have any thoughts to share on the subject?

Not that critical

Hi Marc,
As long as the individual pieces are reasonably sealed I don't see an issue. Our current stuff is exposed. The plug with the starter switch wires, etc is on the cold side, so no problems there.
Good start. Can't wait to see it.

It does look great. I have an RV6A, 14 years old, and have been planning to upgrade the original system. This will fit just right.

Nice touch, having the torque limits right on the box.

OSH Update
Well, we brought some prototypes to the show to get more feedback. We'll post some of that feedback soon, but had just a quick few moments to post some pictures from a visit over to Stein's booth. Here's Stein and Mike from SteinAir who are also helping us get feedback.
Come by and visit us in Hangar D or SteinAir in Hangar C.
Mike showing off the old way and the new way!
