Parker Nation,
I'm in the process of moving batteries, and straightening up my random wire situation. Here is my question..
I have two ground buses in the cabin, there are two 8 gauge ground wires that leave the cabin and go to the negative post on one battery.
The engine ground also goes directly to the negative post on one of the same battery.
The ground bus in the transom has a 10 gauge wire going directly to a ground post on the same battery.
The two batteries are connected via a jumper.
My thoughts.
Connect all grounds from the cabin and the engine to bus in the transom. Use an 8 gauge ground wire from the transom to one of the batteries.
Do I need to worry about overloading the bus in the transom? It is the stock bus put in at factory.
the pics below are of the ground bus in the transom, and current battery setup.
