I have installed a grmin740s chartplotter and a garmin vhf 100 in my dash but can't get them wired to the circuit breaker bar on the 2009 bayliner 320. There are wires attached to the breakers marked vhf radio and accessory but i can't find where they go and there is no place for the neg/ground to hook to.

I don't know anything about 320's, but I do know a wire only has two ends(thank God). One end is connected to the breaker, apparently. The trick will be to follow it to the other end. I usually end up cutting and replacing a lot of wire ties in the process. Maybe running the lead from the vhf and connecting it to the breaker, leaving the original in place may be an option. Many gauges have a screw terminal negative you should be able to piggy-back on.

Welcome to iboats!:cool:

The positive leads attach to the empty terminals on the breakers. There should be a negative buss bar for the negative leads. Look for a connection block with a lot of black wires attached.
