Do you run a master switch, or are the Circuit breakers the switch. I
have a master switch, but its bothering me that if that if ONE switch
fails, it all fails. I I think I'll skip the master switch for flight
critical.

That has happened Bob. A Power Sport RV8 crashed and was destroyed
when the master switch failed.

Not a problem with mags in cert airplanes.  Only in these all electric
airplanes.

Bob,

In case of an emergency landing  you may want to disable the electrical
system with one simple action. I am thinking ruptured fuel lines and
sparking wire here. Not a pleasant image and one that has claimed several
SeaWind owners.  Perhaps something as simple as a mechanical copper knife
switch on the main power cable near the battery would be the ticket. You
could rig a cable to activate or disable it.
