Thanks, Bob. The start battery is close by, and it's charging current is
typically low (5 amps) since it does not get discharged much. I really
just want to keep it at about 13.8 v or so, to put back the charge lost
by starting, and the amount used by the electric fuel pump and
electronic ignition.

What P channel MOSFET did you get?  That's exactly what I want.

Thanks
