Ok that makes perfect sense, so I just need to split the wire after fusible link and run it onto the +post of the alternator, as well as that 2-plug switch.

........................
Can you shed some light on my question of whether it is legit to have the charging circuit isolated from everything else? Basically the alternator to battery is one circuit and then from the battery through a master kill switch to a fuse box for all the other electronics.

Just to shed more light on my plan... the battery runs into a 100A fuse and then through a master kill switch (150A continuous marine switch), which goes into the fuse box. The fuse box then has the following circuits, headlamp left, headlamp right, headlamp retract relay, wipers/washers, fuel pump, ecu, starter solenoid, horn, signals/flashers, brake lights, gauge cluster, aftermarket gauges, assorted electronics (boost controller, etc...)

In this way everything is properly fused, protected, etc... and I can kill all power to everything with the flip of a switch. Just seems like the easiest and most logical way to do it unless I am missing something key. Thanks.
