The battery charger on our new to us 2015 Meridian 391 showed 15.5v but the house battery was at 14v, more than 1v drop on the ground connection. I traced the wire all over, through the most inconvenient compartments. Under the starboard propeller shaft I found a puddle of water and a slow leak in the shaft log. After disassembling the entertainment center I found bunches of ground bus strips daisy chained together except the connection to the one containing the battery charger was missing. The current must have gone through smaller ground wires to some equipment and back to the other ground bus strips.


The anchor winch breaker kept tripping. The instructions call for 100A and the battery charger calls fro 60A. They were installed backwards on the switch panel. The switch panel must have been the first thing they built and then build the boat around it because it was nearly impossible to access the breakers to swap them back.
