Onto the next part. The first Otters used an open manual throw type switch as a battery disconnect. At a certain point production changed to a standard heavy duty battery disconnect switch made by Delco Remy. It was located just inside the drivers door on the floor. Power from this split off to the starter and engine electrics and also to the fuse box for the wireless and interior lighting.
The switch was pretty rough looking but still quite solid and everything moved on it prior to removal from the Otter.
