Have you ever dealt with ProMariner battery switches?

I can save the $10 and still get field disconnect.

I lean toward Perko from years of successful operation, or toward Blue
Sea from what I know about their products in general. ProMariner may be
fine as well, but I would have to admit that I have a personal
prejudice toward that trademark as I once owned a ProMariner battery
charger that cooked the living stink out of some batteries.

If I were going to buy a new swtich today, my choice might be:

Blue Sea also has a new design, the E-Series, and that switch won some
sort of award for innovation in 2005. Might also be worth a look.

They also offer a "field disconnect" model, (or you can install a "Zap
Stop", and that doesn't require any wiring except on the back of the
alternator itself).
