I am anxious to hear the groups input on this one. I am also working on rewiring a 77' catalina. Mine has an inboard A4. It seems that the ground for the boat was attached to this on the flywheel housing. I have two batteries an isolation switch and a smart charger as well. I am comfortable working with household wiring but the ac/dc mix is a new twist. I bought a racheting crimper and multimeter for reworking the wiring runs. I plan on removing and replacing most of what was installed. The PO ran all of the mast wiring in the bilge placing it underwater in places. electical tape and wire nuts the whole way. The sad part is he owned an electrical supply company. any and all specs for anyones boat rewiring would be welcome. I have some pics of the previous installation, if anyone is interested. Thanks in advance.
