The ELT has a little beeper that goes behind the panel to alert when the ELT is going off. It is connected to the ELT and to the panel activation switch with standard household telephone wire, which is admittedly a little goofy. Had I known how this was set up, I probably would have bought a different model, but hindsight is 20/20. This box has a battery that'll have to be changed out every so often. It's super light, so I just put some adhesive backed velcro on it and stuck it to the back of the subpanel. That'll make it easier to just reach behind the panel and pull it down when I need to change the battery.
I attempted to install the backup alternator, but no joy. The oil filter extension that Titan gave me that bumps the filter aft a few inches to clear the engine mount gets in the way of the alternator.
You can see that the alternator won't seat completely against the accessory pad because the bumps for the bolts that hold the alternator case halves together rub against the oil filter extension. I got in touch with Titan, and they said they do have a 1.4" extension (vs this 2 1/2" one). I took some measurements, and that will be right on the edge. It still might be about 1/16" long, but we'll see. Worse case scenario, I can take the smaller extension to a shop and have them mill about 1/16" off. Now I just have to wait for the new part to arrive. I have to hand it to Titan though - they didn't ask any questions and gave me a UPS tracking number within minutes, no charge.
