Thanks, I bought an Isotherm 2501 which also has a BD50 compressor. I was

Sorry, Joel — I misspoke. Checking the ABYC standards, it is indeed four
terminals under a single bolt or screw. But in my certification classes, the
instructor said that a maximum of three should be the goal, and that apparently
stuck with me.

that 20 or so splices would be worse than a common stud.

Joe,
Three? Thought it was 4. More to do!
Is there an easy way to mount a bus bar to the hull? Epoxy a wood block to
it?

This may help. Remember length of wire run is there and back. If wire is

I have 10 gauge wires to/from my BD50 compressor and use a circuit breaker for
on/off with no problems. I'm considering adding a second set of 10 gauge wires
too to see how much more efficiency I get that way. Of course I won't know
until it warms up around here!

The AC and DC should be on completely separate panels and the AC panel and
wiring should have an enclosure to prevent inadvertent contact (per ABYC). You
can always add a short length to the wire (on the DC side) so that you can
reach a terminal. I am not endorsing what a PO may have done,
to reach a bus bar. I think
I'd rather have the single post than a bunch of splices.

I recently learned of the importance of using wires for refrigeration systems
that are 2 sizes larger than the anchor wire charts recommend--it is amazing
how the voltage drop experienced otherwise reduces the efficiency of the
fridge.
Since this is your first foray into boat wiring, use

Joe,
On my 37+, there's a negative ground block behind the panel and one under. If
you can't locate one, you can just connect the negative to any ground anywhere
else on the boat.
