I recently wrote and asked how to wire the ignition switch on a 1973 Montauk with a 1986 evenrude 90 HP engine../.... I got a great reference and think I've got that resoved... Now I'm at the next step in wiring the boat. I want to install a positive and a negative buss bar located in the center console. Can I mearly run a postive and negative wire from the battery terminal to the two buss bars ????

Obviously I need to run the right size wires (I'll use the the wire size/ amps required charts in the West Marine catolog)... I don't have a shematic of the engine wiring, but is there a wire that connects between the alternator and the battery that provides recharging to the battery?--- Does anyone have a complete schmatic that shows the entire wiring -- I plan on running a fuse/switch panel off the buss bars I install in the center console. I'll run seperate (stand alone) wires from the battery to the radio.

Any help would be appreciated.

THANX
