I have a large voltage drop on my fusepanel behind dash when ex the stereo is on high volume. At the battery terminals i measure 12,6 volts (engine stopped) and on the main distribution panel behind dash i measure only 11,6. I i turn up the volume on the stereo too much, the stereo cuts out and in and the voltage is fluctuating with the music between 11,0 and 11,6. I tried to use a thick cable directly from batt negative and connected it to the negative terminal on the dist.panel/fuse holder and then the voltage came back to 12,4-12,5 and the stereo was working fine. Is the wiring cross section in Sea Rays generally too low? I am considering adding new main cables straight from the main switch to the fuse panel.
There is also a ground hub with a much thicker cable visible inside the dash, it has one thick and 4-5 thinner black cables connected to it. Can I simply put a jumper cable from this gruond bus to the fuse manel neative terminal? What is the purpose of the ground hub? Is it for the trim?
