Yes, the earth lead should be earthed to the hull next to everything else. - Note, 'next to', not 'with'.

And must also be a "break-before-make" type or one with a center-off possition. To avoid any possablity of the two inputs ever being conected together. - Also, if you have large inverter (over 4kw) you will switch capable of more than 16amps. Daniel
