Default Ground for new stereo?

Installing a new stereo in dash and wondering what I can hook the ground to? Do i have to run it to the neg battery terminal? Or maybe the steering column?

Any help is appreciated!

Run it to a negetive wire or negetive battery terminal.
Boats ain't like cars. You don't want it to try and derive a ground from metal parts in the boat. This can also cause electrolysis problems.

I have no tunes on the SkunkBoat. I have that argument with my brother every trip. "you need some tunes on this boat". I like the quiet, sound of waves & birds.... Down in Pompano he has the radio on all day....same songs every hour....

I've picked up those bluetooth speakers many times, stared at 'em, put em back on the shelf...

Just replaced my radio. I like having the option. My kid brings her iPad on the boat with her, but she's 4 and isn't really into fishing too much yet.
