MMMmmmmm...I assume tall rig since you have a bowsprit too, (with lower chainplate upgrades)/fin keel/tiller/endboom sheeting (my preference) & folding prop...very nice! Your teak looks great too.

Blower ground

Since I had to yank all of that to get that stupid water tank in (another thread), I finally traced this wire and discovered it to be the ground wire for the blower..apologies to my Dad the P.O...not his doing. I wonder if there is an ABYC mandate that the blower motor be grounded to the engine. ...it would be much cleaner for me to wire it to the ground bus on the gauge panel.
Shawn, I too am considering wiring this ground to the bus at the panel. Have you found any reason not to?
