Re: New boat, Opinions on wiring configuration.
Nothing wrong with that but also unnecessary unless there is something unique about the Blue Sea equipment. Again, ground is ground wherever you find it. Use the shortest route. The purpose of a ground buss is to use a larger gauge wire to run from the negative post of the battery to a junction somewhere distant from the battery. Devices distant from the battery can then be grounded at the buss rather than running long lengths of wire all the way back to the battery. Generally items at the back of the boat are grounded at the battery. But use a ground buss if you wish if only to reduce the number of connections at the battery.
