I've just gotten into this buss discussion (late) and may have missed something, but I would have little concern about fire from shorts since your hull is not fiberglass. Watching a fiberglass boat burn gives me nightmares and cause for extreme wiring caution. The one thing that concerns me, and I may have misunderstood something, but there seems to be no mechanical connection in the "stick-on solder taps". You obviously have had no problem, but I would feel better with wrapped wire, then soldered, or some type of mechanical clamp on and soldered or something other than just stuck on soldered wire. That being said, I marvel at the clever things that you have done for redundancy and function in your boat, and I agree that it would be wonderful if you would/could archive or produce a compilation of such for those of us that might like to follow your lead. Maybe sell it to a magazine? We all have a tendency to hook up commonly supplied components and not think "out of the box" as to the function and purpose. No one can ever say you think "in the box". Thanks for sharing your experiences. Ed Schwerin 40 Hunter North Carolina
