As background, I installed an opening port on Imzadi to replace a fixed aluminum framed portlight, and it didn't go to my expectations. I had to expand the existing opening by a small margin, and decided that I could use my handy dandy Dremel tool to cut the fiberglass laminate. But the cut I got

Matt, There is a general idea that the 1-2-Both switch can lead to operator error (switching to off, when the alternator is running, which quite likely would fry the alternator diodes). Therefore the better setup is to have the house battery bank tied directly to the alternator and have the

Bruce, do you have a wiring diagram for your boat in the owners manual? Mine is 1989 but I can scan and send you a diagram and maybe you can compare to the 94 version wiring. All mine comes up by the battery selector switch and then crosses to the batteries. They will all be different depending

Bruce, Not sure exactly -- did it all myself. There was 4-Gauge cable, ends, a hammer crimper, solder, a Blue Seas battery switch, a BLue Seas AC panel, a Blue Seas ACR, some bus bars, an inverter, a charger, other wires and connectors, and a bunch of Trojan 6v golf cart flooded batteries.

Bruce, On mine, before the total rewire a few years ago, they ran inside that wall supporting the nav station (my boat had a little access hatch there), then under the floor, then to breaker on the back of the battery switch, which used to be under the nav station seating. I don't know if
