    Looking for input

    I'm adding AC power to my boat. Using the manufacturers wiring diagrams I created the proposed schematic below. I was hoping to get some input as to the "correctness" of my proposed setup. Hopefully it is readable if you zoom in. The "Shore AC Panel" and "Inverter AC Panel" are Blue Sea 3116...
