T&T: Wiring diagram for adding inverter to DC system

[John Leroy]

I'm designing a 2500 watt inverter and larger alternator set up for a  
single diesel I'd like to have installed in a Monk 36.

I know I have seen a thread on the optimum manner of hooking up and  
switching such a system, but I can't seem to find it. I also need to  
decide how big an alternator I need, and if the serpentine belt  
(looks about 1" wide) will handle it.

Any help?
