I agree with Audiofn, you might want to look for a larger relay depending on the current draw of your fuel pumps. Also remember, those relays are not vapor tight, so be careful where you mount them. As far as the grease for the connections, use the silicone dielectric grease, it works real well.

Mine are Aeromotive Marine A1000's. The install docs call for a 30A breaker and a 30A relay. I plan to mount the relays and breakers on the same plates I'm building to hang the pumps off of - and each motor will have completely independent setups. Electrical redundancy as well. If something dies, it's always nice to limp to shore on the the other motor. Chit happens.

I'll take a close look at the relays, and seal as necessary. I also always coat electrical contacts with a silicone dielectric, just a good practice on any mechanical connection.

Thanks for the help and ideas.

Brian
