[QUOTE="bgeddes, post: 328857, member: 5938"] Can you connect them both to the bus bars and get them to work? Very probable, but not please don't. The negative wires are fine connected all in one place. Good practice is to add a fuse or circuit breaker for each device connected to the positive side. This can be as simple as an inline fuse (and either or both devices may be already equipped) or a complex circuit breaker setup. A couple bucks buys an inline fuse holder and fuse for each unit and could prevent very bad things while on the water. Start simple and go from there. The wires from the fuse to the bus bar can both go under the same screw. [/QUOTE]
