I decided early on to eliminate all ac on my boat except the onboard battery charger. At the present time there is no ac going to the bulkhead or cabin. I moved the twist lock ac input from the starboard side to the port side and installed a new galvanic isolator in the battery compartment. I ran the green ground from the boat side of the ac input to the galvanic isolator and then on to the ac ground terminal on the battery charger, the hot and neutral from the boat side ac input run directly to the battery charger. The only communication from the ac side to the dc side is the chassis bonding wire of the charger which runs to the negative bus in the battery compartment. I thought about running the green from the galvanic isolator to the negative bus but that just does not seem right to me, wondering what others think, thanks
