My 84 has green wire bonding the fuel fill to a tab on the tank to the neg battery terminal.

As for wiring, there are a lot of variables depending on whether the original dash/switches/wiring have never been touched.

If they have never been touched I suggest ripping it all out and starting new. If they have been touched,I suggest ripping it all out and starting new...

The original wire on my 84 was not tinned and was black & red powder when you stripped it.

BUY MARINE GRADE TINNED WIRE.

The original setup had everything going back to the battery. Total mess of wires....
I have an 8 gauge feed running to a distribution panel in the cuddy.
I'll get some pictures together & post.
