I have a 1999 18' Bayliner with a 120HP Force outboard on it. I want to install a second battery with Blue Sea's Add-A-Battery. (Why? Because I want some insurance when I'm out on the Bay of Green Bay. I've had close calls in the past)
Here's the wiring diagram they provide (page 4): http://bluesea.com/files/resources/instructions/990310020.pdf
My main questions is: What do you do about the common bus bar and how do you ground it? I don't see a common bus bar anywhere on my Bayliner.
Also, any recommendations on wire size? Where do you get battery cables with fuses in them, or do you build them from scratch with a fuse holder, etc?
I have spent half the day searching these forums and elsewhere, but haven't found these specifics.
Any feedback would be much appreciated!
Thanks!
