Redraw your diagram and resubmit

Yes....absolutely...never ground to frame.

I got everything installed successfully. I installed the 36V converter , New Blue Sea Systems fuse box, all new wiring, new marine stereo system, custom speaker pods and some blue LED's with a toggle. I also relocated the horn button on the cupholder because the speaker pods covered it up. Stereo sounds great too!

Thank you guys for your help.....some pics

That looks like the same weather-proof stereo cover I used to have, but never got around to using.

Where did you get the radio from? It looks like something I was looking at on buy.com this morning.

Looking good there speedy Always a good feeling when you hook stuff up and it works first try - I like the spot you chose for the DC reducer. Lots of space around it & well ventilated for cooling.

Thanks! It was a little nerve wrecking the first time I fired everything up at once.....but no popping, smoke, flames or gremlins...alls well!
