Blue Sea System 600 amp buss install for neg - 2010

The two Blue Sea Systems 250 amp busses we ordered came in. 

 I put in place one Blue Sea Systems 600 amp buss for the negative side to see where we were going to mount it. It is a bit of engineering. We did not want it on the dash panel we are making because it takes up too much room.

September 2010 - Currently At Marina Cortez Harbor Island, San Diego, CA

It is a little crooked but it will never be seen. It is close to where the dash panel is going to mount on that piece of teak so it is juts there temporarily until we mount the dash panel.

The – side

One  Blue Sea System 600 amp buss- 4 - 3/8 connectors -connects the engine ground to the batteries. Connects the inverter\charge to the batteries – connects to the  Blue Sea System 250 amp buss leaving one empty post..

One 250 amp buss –4\5/16 connectors - connects the anchor windless and connects to the 600 amp buss and a 100 amp buss leaving one posts for the future growth.

Not sure about the 100 amp buss or a ST Glass Fuse Block.

Or

At the moment we are re-in forcing the dash panel so it does not flex. Debbie drilled and screwed a couple pieces of ½ marine plywood to the back of it last night. We forgot to add glue so we will re-do it.

So we are getting closer to getting it set up.

The positive side will be the same but add an emergency shut off switch and a big fuse.

The reason for the lager 4/0 cables and 600 amp buss is because the charger \inverter is not close to the batteries.

The reason for that is the heat and noise. We will be living on the boat in Mexico and south so we do not want the charger\inverter inside the boat. It creates heat and noise. It is worth it to us to spend the extra $$ for the heavy equipment to keep the unite out of the living space.
