Tod, I may be able to help also. I overhauled my electrical system on my Monty. Did a few things wrong, most of it mostly right, learned along the way.
Better than the "12 Volt Bible", I recommend Nigel Calder's big fat hardbound book on boat maintenance. (I forgot the title, and my house and bookshelves are in an uproar while the house is being remodeled.) His section on electrical work is complete and thorough, consistent with the current ABYC standards. Several quick tips. 1. Plan it out in detail. Think about it a lot, make lots of drawings, look at all the catalogs to find and decide on all the electrical parts you will need. Have a complete wiring plan before you start, both physical and electrical. 2. Fuse everything. A short can burn your boat to the waterline. 3. Buy the very expensive wire crimpers.
