Technically you can have as many ground wires on the engine as you want. I'm trying to nudge you in a direction with the bus bar of a professional looking and superior installation. Train the wires neat, clean and parallel, support the wires independent of their termination, run them as far as you can inside the split loom and have them exit right where they terminate. Looks good = IS good.
My top 10 list of hints:
My top 10 list of hints:
- Take your time.
- Make the harness on a bench. Only one wire per color allowed.
- No splices allowed mid wire. If a wire is too short, replace it with one of sufficient length.
- Speaking of sufficient length, 'tis far better to throw 2 feet of wire away than to be an inch short. Don't skimp.
- Place the harness in the boat and fasten it to the structure.
- Connect the ends where they go.
- Train the wires away from heat sources, sharp edges and moving parts.
- Make notes on your diagram for future reference.
- Sit back and bask in the glory of a job well done.
- Take pictures before and after for our admiration.
