I added a dedicated power panel for the electronics on our bridge. I ran an oversized positive and negative cable from the house bank, with a proper size fuse, to the panel. That way I know that I have good voltage and adequate current capacity to power the new electronics. A lot of the original boat wiring is not adequate to power all the new electronics. With undersize wiring you don’t get good voltage and then the electronics don’t work well and things get suspect.
