Sorry, Joel — I misspoke. Checking the ABYC standards, it is indeed four terminals under a single bolt or screw. But in my certification classes, the instructor said that a maximum of three should be the goal, and that apparently stuck with me. Fred Street -- Minneapolis S/V Oceanis (1979 C&C

I have 10 gauge wires to/from my BD50 compressor and use a circuit breaker for on/off with no problems. I'm considering adding a second set of 10 gauge wires too to see how much more efficiency I get that way. Of course I won't know until it warms up around here! Bob Bob Boyer S/V Rainy Days

Stus-List 1976 C&C 38 Electrical Panel

The AC and DC should be on completely separate panels and the AC panel and wiring should have an enclosure to prevent inadvertent contact (per ABYC). You can always add a short length to the wire (on the DC side) so that you can reach a terminal. I am not endorsing what a PO may have done, but

Joel, My original ground bus is screwed directly to the cored hull. I wanted to re-fit it with a block of wood but that would have pushed the bus bar too close to the (+) bus. I pulled the mounting screws, sealed the holes with CPES, reinstalled the screws. For the new ground bus I epoxied a wo
