[TenTec] ten tec orion II power relay replacement

[denton sprague]

I surmise just about any common 12 vdc 30 amp relay will do the job also. Will know more when I pull out the relay board this winter. Will upgrade the dc power plug to an anderson power pole or something that is  more current capable at same time.
