Ground Distribution?

[vanharca]

I am going to be adding a second battery with a Perko switch to my boat this spring. I have an amplifier for a small stereo system that installed by the previous owner as well. My question is what the best way would be for me to run the grounds. I am guessing there are some off the shelf distribution blocks that are meant for this purpose, but the few I have seen seem to be very light duty. Any recommendations would be great.

Thanks!

Re: Ground Distribution?

There are marine grade wiring appliances for creating circuit buses for currents up to several hundred amperes. I cannot imagine a loudspeaker system which could possibly require wiring for more than a few amperes of current. There should be no constraint on your installation due to insufficient availability of wiring devices.

Don,

Some of these are exactly what I was looking for, I must have missed those or searched for the wrong things.

Thanks

Make it easy on yourself instead of searching, just go up to the top of this page and click on the Nav lite that says marine electrical under it.
