[QUOTE="DaleH, post: 418016, member: 15636"] ... just be AWARE that per USCG/BIA/ABYC wiring conventions that Yellow is the 'new' color for Grounds, replacing black, on 12 VDC circuits. Turns out boats per having fires as live-aboards would tie "all black wires together", yet they were adding AC circuits to their boats, where black is a HOT wors in an AC circuit. On boats, I'd recommend Red for all +power, purple for +Switched Power. [/QUOTE]
