Here's a birthday present idea for your wife. I used those orange funnels for years, with their too-small discharge, until I discovered this one.

I have one of those and it works AWESOME.
The OLED voltage display is brilliant. Great mod.
Nice setup! I have that same Blue Sea panel and I have no complaints. All their stuff is top notch.
Had the Front Runner installed

Final tweak:
Added a master ON/OFF switch to entire external unit after realizing the OLED voltmeter’s always-on status might attract unwanted curiosity to passing pedestrians when parked in town at night.

Why do you have your rack's wind deflector mounted upside down?
Sharp eye! It was actually an experiment with wind noise on the highway
Here it is assembled as designed. The wind deflector directs wind right into the sunroof as suspected.Why do you have your rack's wind deflector mounted upside down?

I like experiments! Thanks for the clarification. So, how did it go? Was it quieter mounted on top?
It was much quieter, for sure. That being said, it takes up some real estate on the top of the rack so may not be appropriate depending on your load. I'm also not an aeronautical engineer and am not sure how it would affect its function/mileage. Really, I'm not sure of anything (story of my life)

Very interesting, thanks for the info. I never thought to try relocating the rack fairing to a different location - certainly on top.
Which leads to - why have it at all if it isn't best placed where they designed? I believe their intention was to direct air away from the underside of the rack and eliminate drag on those items.

Could be the noisier placement is still less resistance... Who knows.... Might be worth fabricating a deflector, but wow. Seems like a misstep from FR.
FWIW I made a deflector for my rack out of a sheet of ABS plastic. I just cut out what I wanted in cardboard first, then traced it. Cost about $30 including shipping. Mine is slightly larger than the one Gamiviti supplies.
Forgot I had this, found it cleaning out a drawer in the garage. Just to remind folks what the heart of the beast is.
Also replaced air filter that looked like the PO forgot existed.

Wow! What a pair!
So did you get an inside scoop on the 300 and you’re not digging a turbo 6?
