Thank you Fred. I'll try to remember to gather all the manuals and bring then along on my next trip to the boat. So, the start battery is quite close, directly under the helm. Would it be beneficial to run that green/screen wire directly to the start battery negative post? Or is that simply not necessary being that the breaker box is already so close to the same battery? I guess, according to the manual, a direct line to the start battery wild be the preferred solution. my confusion is, If the grounding bars in the panel are already bonded, this green"screen" wire seems redundant. What benefit is the added green 'screen' wire if it just ties to the same ground post as the black ground wire? Danny

If a bonded ground system is not possible, a non-bonded RF ground may be used. So tie it with the black wire to the power source (DC breaker). — Fred Fred Street -- Minneapolis S/V Oceanis (1979 C&C Landfall 38) -- Bayfield, WI On May 29, 2016, at 5:15 PM, Danny Haughey via CnC-List <cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: Hi guys, I need a little wiring advice.
