Does anyone know the fuse that's used for the alternator which resides below the pilot seat? I was underneath the airplane the other day with the bottom panel off and noticed the large (wide) 40A fuse used for the alternator. I sure would like to have a spare or two should that blow while in a remote location. Anyone know which fuse that is and a replacement source?
 
Are you sure that it is for the alternator? There is a 50 Amp breaker for the alternator on the panel so having a second 40 Amp fuse as well does not really make sense to me.
 
I updated the title, I think it's an ignition fuse. I'm going to dig into some diagrams and see what I can find.
 
I can't find it in the resources I have. It's a shame not to be able to find this information so I had to email CubCrafters for assistance and waste their time. I asked them to please update the AMM listing all "fuses" so people like me that want to have spares for remote areas can carry spares whether for me or someone else in need.
