- 1974 Grand Banks 42 Classic, Hull 433
Bought my 1974 GB42 in June.
I have been tracing out the wiring and discovered that the VHF radio has a dedicated power feed coming from engine room in a shielded 2-conductor cable. This shielded cable is relatively new. It has an inline fuse in the ER (I dislike having inline fuses hidden all over the place).
Has anyone else seen this (dedicated shielded feed)? Any comments on its necessity? (I like things simple)
I have temporarily changed the VHF power feed to be together with the rest of the instruments, fed by a breaker in the main DC panel - to see if the radio functions the same or not.
Comments?
