Gdetrailer that's a great post thank you. You confirmed what I thought I already knew I just don't have enough experience to be completely confident in what my theory was. Your post was exactly what I was looking for. I have found a switch that will work for what i need and I am in the process of testing it in the garage now. I am going with the high amp switch and I'm putting an inline fuse between the battery and the switch just to be safe. If anyone is looking at doing this also let me know and in a couple of weeks after I have used my new contraption I will post here how it worked.
