Yeah all the negs go to the same place but the resistance is determined by the cable. I don't know if I'm saying that right. Half way up the mast might be 20 feet, but that's 20 feet two ways (40 feet) plus whatever length to and from the panel. It was just a thought, trying to be helpful. Sharing ground isn't recommended, at least, not according to Don Casey (all I know about boat wiring comes from his book).
