Hi, Lee, The ground block that includes both shunts looks like a "U" shape, where the bottom of the U is the common ground where all loads are connected. Each top of the "U" is connected to the respective battery. The only thing connected to this side of the shunt are small wires leading to the Link 2000 presumably used to measure the voltage across the shunts. The vertical legs of the "U" are the current shunts. So as far as the suggestion "that the shunts each have a good ground wire to a main buss", It's all self contained on the ground block. CEF is 100 and 73. That's a bit strange. I'll have to investigate that. Thanks, Jim. _______________________________________________ Liveaboard mailing list [email protected] To adjust your membership settings over the web http://liveaboardonline.com/mailman/listinfo/liveaboard To subscribe send an email to [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] The archives are at http://www.liveaboardonline.com/pipermail/liveaboard/ To search the archives http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected] The Mailman Users Guide can be found here http://www.gnu.org/software/mailman/mailman-member/index.html
