[CA] [CA11] New installation multiple power inputs

[pfrank]

Thanks, Chuck, for your gentle reply. I should have been able to figure out on my own about ground loops and termination plugs vs blanking plugs. I am learning.

I have attached schematics showing my original installation and a proposed modified installation. We have already discussed removing the additional power sources as shown.

However, what about moving the Axiom 9 spur from the existing NMEA 2000 circuit to the STNG bus that exists right in the instrument pod? Any advantage in doing this? I have no idea why my installer originally went back to the NMEA bus, except that he saw the NMEA end on the Axiom 9 cable and thought that is where he had to go.

Of course, I could (and will) ask my installer about all of this, but want to be completely knowledgeable before I do.

Thanks again. You are THE MAN!
